Essex Shambles

Essex Shambles

“We are excited to be a part of the Essex Street Market and look forward to becoming a part of this vibrant, energetic and diverse downtown neighborhood.”

- Tim Forrester, Harlem and Essex Shambles Co-founder

Essex Shambles is the expansion of popular neighborhood butcher, Harlem Shambles. In 2011, Harlem Shambles opened and quickly became a destination and favorite among locals. Like Harlem Shambles, Essex Shambles will be an old-fashioned butcher shop serving locally sourced beef, lamb, pork and poultry. They will continue to maintain their commitment to establishing the shop as a valued part of the community, and work with a handful of New York farms to bring customers all-natural meat they can feel good about. Essex Shambles will embrace the whole-animal philosophy, and their customer-friendly butchers will provide the freshest cuts, cut to order with minimal waste.

Lower East Side Ice Cream Factory

“Essex Market made perfect sense to us because our family has had a long history in the downtown Chinatown/Lower East Side/Little Italy area.”

- Christina Seid, owner of LES Ice Cream Factory

Chinatown Ice Cream Factory (CICF) has been creating delicious ice cream for 4 decades on Bayard Street in Chinatown, and is often referred to as an "unofficial NYC landmark.” CICF has a deep tradition of being a family-run operation, now with a second generation at the helm. The origins of ice cream are both mythical and abstract, including legends attributing the invention of ice cream to the Chinese during the Tang Dynasty. Despite its unclear beginnings, CICF has made ice cream a tangible and an undeniably delicious reality with unique flavors like black sesame, durian, and green tea. At the new market, CICF will open a stall named Lower East Side Ice Cream Factory.
