Where to Eat at the Essex Street Market

By and

1. Shopsin’s General Store

120 Essex St., at Delancey St.

The inimitable Kenny Shopsin has resurfaced. Fans of his brusque manner and disconcertingly eclectic cooking will find both, in the stall adjacent to Saxelby Cheesemongers.

2. Paradou Marché

120 Essex St., at Delancey St.; 917-348-1210

This sunny little kiosk— a spinoff of the meatpacking-district bistro—serves crêpes, pressed sandwiches, and prepared foods like summer salads and cassoulet in the winter.

3. Casa Paradou

120 Essex St., at Delancey St.; 212-477-4177

Another Paradou enterprise, this one specializes in inventive fresh pastas and mix-and-match sauces to eat on the premises or to cook at home.
