No other season evokes feelings of nostalgia, generosity and warmth better than fall; and there is no place like Chelsea Market to experience the fall season. From Halloween to Thanksgiving and beyond, Chelsea Market is bursting at the seams with the colors and flavors of the year's most vibrant season.Stop by Manhattan Fruit Exchange to find the perfect pumpkin for carving or making piees; their famous indoor pumpkin patch blossoms with gourds of all shapes and sizes, on display through November.
In addition to a variety of regularly scheduled weekly events, there are several special happenings to enjoy. Edible Manhattan magazine will be holding its 2nd issue launch party on November 13th.
