Blood, Sugar, & Sea Bugs: The Dark History of Chelsea Market Forget the standard, sanitized foodie walkthrough. Chelsea Market might be a culinary paradise today, but this massive brick monolith was built on a foundation of brutal industrial labor, combustible sugar dust, and the literal blood of the Meatpacking District. Join this self-guided feast through the weird and radical underworld of New York’s west side. We’ll eat our way through the market while uncovering the bizarre, unsanitized, and slightly morbid history of the neighborhood.
