In the former Nabisco plant, where the first Oreos were baked in 1912, nearly two dozen food wholesalers flank what is possibly the city's longest interior walkway in a single building—from 9th to 10th avenues. You can snack your way from one end to the other, nibbling Fat Witch brownies, Ronnybrook farmer's cheese, Amy's sourdough, or just watch the bread being made as it perfumes the halls. The market's funky industrial design—a tangle of glass and metal creates the awning and art, artifacts, and a factory pipe converted into an indoor waterfall—complements the eclectic assortment of bakers, butchers, florists, grocers, cafés, and wine merchants inside.
