Do bring a lock with you if you are heading to Brooklyn Bridge...

Chelsea Market is located opposite Google office!  The interior resembles our renowned Pasabella, but of course the scale and selection are bigger and wider. Chelsea Market is a food hall and shopping mall located in Manhattan . It was once a factory that produced biscuits and cookies, but it has now became one of the city's prime touris...
