Colorful and bountiful, Chelsea Market by day offers specialty shops such as Amy’s Bread, Fat Witch Bakery, The Lobster Place, Chelsea Wine Vault and Sarabeth’s, among many others, each promising something special and delicious. And the historic building that houses them all – the one-time Nabisco cookie factory – is also home to the Food Network. What a perfect backdrop, then, for a cozy night of feasting on small plates and from big glasses. The long Festival weekend kicks off with this strut through inviting brick-lined hallways filled with live music toward the scent of sizzling appetizers, fresh-baked bites and luxe desserts beckoning alongside wine tasting stations featuring wines from Georges Duboeuf. Taking the fun to a whole new level: host Guy Fieri, the lively and enthusiastic everyman whose off-the-hook personality and signature spiked hairdo practically ensure a solid good time. Join Guy at Guy’s Big Bite and Bar where he’ll be serving up signature dishes and specialty cocktails for your enjoyment. Joining him: the witty and vivacious Sandra Lee, no slouch when it comes to partying. With some of the city’s finest eateries, caterers, food purveyors and wineries offering their best, going to market has never been more exhilarating.
