Chelsea Market is a food court, shopping mall, office building and television production facility located in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan. It was built in the former National Biscuit Company factory complex where the Oreo cookie was invented and produced. The complex occupies two entire blocks bounded by Ninth and Eleventh Avenues and 15th and 16th Streets, with a connecting bridge over Tenth Avenue. Stores in the retail facilities include the Chelsea Market Baskets, Manhattan Fruit Exchange, BuonItalia, Anthropologie, and a restaurant called Buddakan. There is also the Fat Witch Bakery, Amy's Bread, Ruth's Bakery, Chelsea Wine Vault, Eleni's Bakery, The Lobster Place, Dickson's Farmstand, The Green Table, Chelsea Thai and Friedman's Lunch, as well as a variety of smaller stores selling cheese, artisanal salt and olive oil, chocolate and flowers. In addition to the retail concourse, the building is home to media and broadcasting companies such as Oxygen Network, Food Network, Mr Youth, MLB.com, EMI Music Publishing, Goggle and the local New York City cable station NY1.
