VALENTINES DAY LI-LAC CHOCOLATES
C
helsea Market just got a little bit sweeter with the opening of Li-Lac Chocolates. Featuring a 50-foot long chocolate
counter, the new Chelsea Market location will offer Li-Lac's full line of 140 fresh chocolate confections — one of the largest selections of fresh, gourmet chocolate in America. Best selling items include: Almond Bark, Butter Crunch, Legendary Fudge, Pecan Chews, Caramel Bars, and other old-school favorites. “There’s a great sense of pride and accomplishment in opening our fifth NYC store” said Anthony Cirone, Li-Lac’s President and Co-Owner. “This is a testament to the growing artisanal food scene in New York City, and the handmade quality that makes our chocolates so special and unique.” Li-Lac Chocolates is Manhattan’s oldest chocolate house. The Chelsea Market location will serve as a home base for locals and tourists to shop Li-Lac’s impressive array of fresh, artisanal handmade chocolate in lower Manhattan.

FACING INFINITY
JAMEL ROBINSON
I
n Facing Infinity, brought to Chelsea Market in conjunction with the Ivy Brown Gallery, poet and artist
Jamel Robinson explores questions posed by an inner self. Robinson's collection of sixteen abstract self portraits reflect the constantly changing views we have of ourselves, the many faces we wear. Jamel Robinson is a poet turned self-taught painter. He started his journey onto canvas and other mediums after being asked to paint one of his poems for an art show in 2011. Since then he has appeared in several group shows and paints "representational abstract" works that have sold to a variety of collectors. Jamel currently lives in Harlem where he was born, raised and continues to create. Facing Infinity is Robinson's third major public solo exhibition. The themes of self-exploration and infinite possibility in the show are mirrored in its Chelsea Market venue, as the changing atmosphere of the public concourse reflects the evolving discourse in Robinson's artistic expression.

NEW FACES INTRODUCING SPACE 409 1/2
A
merican food halls have always featured a wide range of purveyors hawking the finest local goods, from fresh
baked bread to just-harvested oysters. Recently, however, the variety has gotten even more diverse as food halls like Ponce City Market in Atlanta, Mixson Market in Charleston, and NYC's Gansevoort Market, Hudson Eats, and — coming soon — Anthony Bourdain's Pier 57 open their doors to small-footprint, stall-style purveyors. "Food halls provide an opportunity to incubate local concepts,” said Michael Phillips of Jamestown, LP (owner of Chelsea Market). “These small spaces in high traffic areas allow purveyors like MokBar and Los Tacos No. 1 at Chelsea Market to develop high quality menus that set them apart from traditional food concepts." This winter, Chelsea Market adds "409 1/2," the market's third arcade-style space, which will be home to several new and emerging food concepts, including Filaga Pizza, Dizengoff, Li-Lac Chocolate, Davidovich Bagels, Seed + Mill, Berlin Currywurst and Cappone’s Salumeria.

THE TIPPLER T
he Tippler is a classic New York cocktail
destination nestled in the cellar space below Chelsea Market. The light of the "OPEN" marquee at 425 West 15th Street guides the
way underground to a bar drenched in NYC history. With its repurposed antique fixtures, vintage library decor and distinctive speakeasy vibe, the Tippler showcases innovative craft cocktails and locally made products, while proudly serving a vast selection of artisanal spirits, beers, and wines. This season's featured cocktail, How 'Bout Them Apples, recalls the crust of a perfect apple pie: spicy, slightly fruity, with a note of toasted pastry. The three stars of this show are all New Yorkborn: Ragtime Rye Whiskey, (distilled in Brooklyn by New York Distilling Company), farmer's market apple cider, and maple syrup (trucked in weekly from Wood Homestead Farms in the Catskills). True to Tippler form, this enchanting libation speaks of the season and packs a joyful punch!
HOW 'BOUT THEM APPLES? • 1 oz Ragtime Rye Whiskey (New York Distilling Company) • 1 oz cognac (we use Pierre Ferrand Ambre) • 1 oz maple syrup (Grade A or B) • 1 oz apple cider • 1/2 oz fresh lemon juice • 1/2 oz fresh grapefruit juice • 2 dashes Bar Keep Apple Bitters • club soda Garnish: • cinnamon-infused Angostura bitters • dehydrated cinnamon-apple chip Combine all ingredients except for club soda in a shaker tin. Add a few ice cubes and shake hard and fast for 5 seconds. Strain into a Collins glass with ice cubes and add club soda to fill. Top with a few sprays of cinnamon-infused Angostura bitters, and garnish with a dehydrated cinnamon-apple chip.” Learn more at thetippler.com.
