What to buy at Chelsea Local to Kick Off Your Fall

Fall is officially here and that means it’s to show off your culinary skills and  indulge in all of your favorite foods. Here’s our roundup and recommendations of how to make the most of your fall by shopping the Chelsea Local.

Manhattan Fruit Market

Mushrooms are great year round, but they really feel like fall. Chop up some maitake, fresh herbs, make a ragu with polenta and it’s fall in a plate.

Rosh Hashanah is right around the corner and MFM is the best local spot to grab your apples for your apple cake. 

Saxelby Cheesemongers

Saxelby’s has an amazing array of cheeses for all year round, but two fall favorites are the Vermont Smoked Cheddar and the Sandy Creek ash ripened goat milk cheese. The Vermont Smoked Cheddar is amazing with your apples or pears from Manhattan Fruit Market (of course). Sprinkle a little bit of cinnamon on the fruit with the chunk of cheddar on there, it’s heaven. The goat cheese is better than butter.

Buon Italia

If you’re looking for something more to go with your cheese, head over to Buon Italia. The Italian, gourmet grocer has a great selection of jams including pear and apricot that will pair well with the cheeses from Saxelby’s or a nice baguette from Amy’s Bread. 

Zach & Zoë Sweet Bee Farm 

The changing of the seasons also means cold & flu season so fight the germs and treat yourself naturally with ginger honey from Zach & Zoe to fight off the germs. Want to find out more about Zach & Zoë? See more here.
