New Yorkers who are mad about markets have a new downtown fixture to add to their rummaging roster. UrbanSpace Meatpacking—brought to you by the design-minded folks behind Brooklyn's Dekalb Market and London's Camden Lock—kicked off at the corner of Washington and 13th Street, in the shadow of the High Line, on September 1 and will run through October 28 (it reopens for the holiday season early November).
The market will feature fashion booths from labels-to-watch such as New Form Perspective, a line of flattering convertible knitwear by designer Gail Travis (who trained with Vera Wang and Calvin Klein before moving to Beacon, NY), and art by local talent including Irish photographer Ciaran Tully, who creates dreamy shots of New York streets scenes. Refuel at an array of cult-favorite food booths, such as Roberta's Pizza, Red Hook Lobster Pound, Mexicue, and Momofuku Milk Bar, and grab an inventive non-alcoholic cocktail or juice at the mixology bar, SoBar, featuring top mixologist Alexis Parrin and former Union Square Cafe chef Chris Whaley. Don't worry about being exposed to the elements, the market has space heaters for when the fall chill kicks in.
