Best Street Markets in Edison

"In a shining example of redevelopment and preservation, the Chelsea Market has transformed a former factory into a shopping concourse that caters to foodies. More than two dozen food vendors ply their temptations, including Mokbar (ramen with Korean accents); Takumi (mixing Japanese and Mexican ingredients); Very Fresh Noodles (hand-pulled northern Chinese noodles); Bar Suzette (crepes); Num Pang (Cambodian sandwiches); Ninth St Espresso (perfect lattes); Doughnuttery (piping-hot mini-doughnuts); and Fat Witch Bakery (brownies and other decadent sugar hits)."

"Keep walking north and you’ll hit the Chelsea Market on 9th Avenue and 15th street. Give a big fat middle finger to the Anthropologie store there, where I slowly lost my sanity working for 18 months (kidding/not kidding). Continue inside to some of the gourmet shops within the Chelsea Market."

"For some of the best street photography opportunities and some of the best food in New York City make your way to Chelsea Market. Crammed with delicious eateries and unique stores the market will keep you occupied for hours."

"Nothing represents Brooklyn's do-it-yourself spirit and obsessive love of all things vintage like this market, where vendors from around the borough and beyond sell crafts, antiques, and artisanal specialty foods. April through November, the Flea is an outdoor affair, crowded with hungover hipsters and sunburned toddlers enjoying pupusas (Salvadoran stuffed tortillas) and locavore popsicles. On Saturdays, it takes place on a lot in Fort Greene (176 Lafayette Ave), while on Sundays it camps out on the Williamsburg waterfront (27 North 6th St)."

"Maybe that's why the Brooklyn Flea has two locations, one in Williamsburg on Saturday, and another in Dumbo on Sunday, to fit all of your fashionable sides. Both locations feature creative artists, clothes, handmade decor pieces, and wildly unique jewelry. Williamsburg: 10 am - 6 pm, Saturdays / 90 Kent Ave."

"*NOTE: If one of your days in New York happens to be a Saturday, shuffle around this itinerary to make this day your Brooklyn day so you can check out Smorgasburg and the Brooklyn Flea. Also, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden has free admission before noon on Saturday!"

"There were ramen burgers, lobster rolls, chicken and waffles, bubble waffles and ice cream, so much more.” See all Williamsburg Smorgasburg - Saturday reviews"

"While buying fresh fruit and vegetables might not be high up on your agenda of things to do when vacationing in Downtown Brooklyn, the Green Market is still worth a visit. Held every Tuesday and Saturday throughout the year, and on Thursdays too from April to December, outside of the Brooklyn Borough Hall in Columbus Park, this market is a hive of local activity. As well as produce stalls, there are cookery demonstrations and lots of food trucks with bistro-style terraces."

"Your best strategy at this huge, jam-packed Saturday market is to do a walk-through first. Check out all the stands to see who has the juiciest pears and apples that day (you can usually sample the fruit), and which fall root vegetables are calling your name (snowy parsnips! bulbous rutabaga! pink turnips!). Before you’re done, pick up heritage pork from Flying Pigs Farm and fragrant herbs from Lavender by the Bay."

"If you happen to be in the city on a Saturday, pop into the Grand Army Plaza Farmer’s Market, on the Northwest corner of Prospect Park, for a great selection of fresh local produce and a cheeky afternoon snack, like the cider donuts!"

"Nothing says “Spring” quite like a hybrid food-and-flea-market right on the waterfront. If you get thirsty while shopping for knick-knacks, head to the beer garden to get some locally brewed beer while a DJ spins some sick tunes. Sat - Sun 10 am - 6 pm / 5-25 46th Av."

"Many visitors to New York never leave Manhattan and if they do it’s to go to Brooklyn. In doing so they miss what might just be the most interesting borough of them all – Queens. Don’t make their mistake."

"The Smorgasburg Sunday location is in the center of Prospect Park. It is filled with just as many delicious food vendors as their other two locations, as well as plenty of picnic tables (for those quick enough to grab one). Location: Breeze Hill, Prospect Park, Brooklyn, NY 11225"

"If you’re looking to get your flea market fix and also give back to the community, GreenFlea is the perfect spot for you. Located on the Upper West Side, this indoor and outdoor market hosted by GreenFlea Inc. benefits four local public schools. Vendors offer a large selection of unique goods, including a notable abundance of clothing and accessories, a variety of jewelry from handmade items to vintage pieces, prints and paintings as well as antique home furnishings."

"Shop 'til you drop at this upper west side staple for hard to find collectibles, designer clothing, and the yummiest food. Every Sunday 10 am - 5:30 pm. Rain or shine / 100 W 77th St, New York, NY 10024"

"It is directly under the Highline so you can enjoy stunning views of the city after visiting. Location: 88 10th Avenue at W15th Street New York, NY 10011. Days/Times: Friday-Sunday, 11am to 7pm."

"Another option is heading to the venues The Bell House or Littlefield in the Gowanus section of Brooklyn. Both of these venues have music, comedy, DJs, and other performances, as well as dancing and drinks. The Gowanus area is easily walkable from Park Slope and is home to hip bars and restaurants. Stop in at the Lavender Lake for a beer on the patio or if you're looking for a more wholesome night, order an ice cream cone (chocolate lovers must order "It Came From the Gowanus") at Ample Hills Creamery's rooftop terrace."

"This stark arrangement of gleaming modernist temples houses some of Manhattan’s most important performance companies: the New York Philharmonic, the New York City Ballet and the iconic Metropolitan Opera House. The lobby's interior walls are dressed with brightly saturated murals by painter Marc Chagall. Various other venues are tucked in and around the 16-acre campus, including a theater, two film-screening centers and the renowned Juilliard School for performing arts."

"You know what you’re getting at Haven Spa: a breathtaking spot that knows what’s what when it comes to individual treatments. Sophisticated and modern, this is a NYC spa that offers a little of everything, from skincare treatments to massages, body therapy, laser hair removal and more. The endless list of spa treatments will have you second guessing whether you need a massage or whether, actually, you need a massage and a facial and a pedicure and, well, perhaps something else thrown in for good luck, too."

"Luxury Facials & Spa is the second of five spas we’ll be touching on. It is located in the heart of Bushwick, 1668 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY 11207. Their services range from skincare, laser hair removal, manicures to chemical peels, facials, body waxing, mink lashes, general body treatments, and massage."

"Choose from a variety of services at YeloSpa, including reiki, massage, and body waxing. Add on dry brushing, cupping, or even a deep tissue forearm massage to take care of those muscles that get tired from typing all day. If you’re out and about in the city, far away from your hotel, you can even stop into YeloSpa for a nap in one of their private nap suites."

"Editor's Note: There's no photo available at the time of writing. YeloSpa is an affordable wellness center in New York City, It’s running with just one mission, and that is ‘wellness for everyone’. They have employed some highly trained healers, which delivers the most innovative therapeutic treatments."
