Down to Earth's Chelsea market puts a real, farmer-direct market in the middle of one of Manhattan's most walkable neighborhoods, lining West 23rd Street with regional produce, cheese, bread and prepared foods. It's an easy, high-quality Saturday stop — grab lunch from a vendor, fill your bag with the week's vegetables, and you're steps from the High Line and Chelsea's galleries. For fresh food and a perfect Chelsea Saturday, it delivers.
