19 Salmon Ceviche Or A Work Of Art From MoMA?

One of the highly touted dishes is ceviche from Cebichelsea. This menu is wholly inspired by Peru and that freshness and flavor are reflected beautifully in the menu they have on display at Gansevoort. There's no passing this one up; fresh fish, crisp veggies, and just a hint of acid make for perfection in a bowl.

18 Beef Noodle Bowls That Incorporate Every Food Group

Kpop Haus is another super fun vendor to check out in the market. If traditional Korean food is calling your name then their beef rice bowl is not one to be passed up. Similarly, Tama, another vendor, offers an authentic Japanese take on a similar bowl, called Oyakodon.

17 A Rainbow Of Cookies (The Best You'll Ever Eat)!

You'll probably see Duchess cookies quite a bit throughout this article and that's because of one thing: They are pastry perfection.

15 There's NYC Pizza, And Then There's Gansevoort Pizza

Trust us - you won't regret this one. No trip to New York City is truly ever complete without a slice or a pie, and we don't mean apple.
