About this tour
Blood, Sugar, & Sea Bugs: The Dark History of Chelsea Market Forget the standard, sanitized foodie walkthrough. Chelsea Market might be a culinary paradise today, but this massive brick monolith was built on a foundation of brutal industrial labor, combustible sugar dust, and the literal blood of the Meatpacking District. Join this self-guided feast through the weird and radical underworld of New York’s west side. We’ll eat our way through the market while uncovering the bizarre, unsanitized, and slightly morbid history of the neighborhood. You’ll discover how the world’s most famous cookie was born in an industrial grind, why lobsters were once considered absolute garbage fit only for prisoners, and how a scenic elevated park was built solely to stop freight trains from running people down on "Death Avenue." Come hungry, bring a dark sense of humor, and get ready to look at your artisanal hot dog in a completely different light.
