Italian market in Chelsea
Combining a supermarket, restaurants and office space, the Italian market in Chelsea is a huge hit with locals and tourists alike. It’s easy to meet businessmen there at a business meeting over a cup of coffee, people passing through eating Italian delicacies, and shoppers who have come to shop at discounts next to them.
The countless shops are more than just a regular food hall. Rather, the market looks like a busy market. Here you can shop at the best fish store, take home artisanal cheeses, and buy imported Italian seafood.

Lombardi's
I consider it blasphemous to visit New York and not try the famous Italian pizza. And this needs to be done in Lombardi’s, the first pizzeria in the USA, which is already 118 years old! It is located at 32 Spring Street on the corner of Mott Street in the Nolita neighborhood of Manhattan. Open from 11:30 to 23:00 on weekdays, and open until midnight on weekends.
The traditional interior with wooden floors, brick walls, red and white tablecloths and old school photographs on the walls only adds to the charm of this place, where culinary traditions are observed with even greater care. After all, the menu has not changed over the past 100 years. The same delicious pizza is cooked in a special charcoal oven. The same tomatoes, mozzarella and homemade meat balls are all you need for a great culinary excursion into the world of New York pizza.
