Vendors Return to the Market Line on the Lower East Side
As the city slowly attempts to normalize in the wake of COVID-19 lockdown, so too does Essex Crossing.
Its underground food court – the Market Line – is now back to business. Several vendors returned and are open, albeit via pick up and delivery only. Those who live within a ten-mile radius of the Market Line can access the online platform Mercato for delivery. Ordering is available from all participating vendors, using a one cart, one checkout system.
As of right now, the list of vendors are:
