A former Nabisco factory, where Oreos were once made, turned into an indoor market: a long brick-walled corridor with exposed old pipes and more than 50 places to eat and shop. Visitors head first for Lobster Place's lobster rolls and steamed whole lobster, and for Los Tacos No.1, which started here in 2013. There's also hand-pulled Taiwanese beef noodle soup, gelato and brownies. The High Line runs right overhead, so most people pair it with the High Line and Little Island.
