Oh stop the gatekeeping.
I don't think anyone really believes Chelsea Market is a culinary wonder, or that it's catering to the True(tm) New Yorker. It's pretty, it's in a fairly nice area, there's no entry fee, and it's easy to have fun there if you take it for what it is.

Fishmarket at the lobster place is mindblowingly good. Otherwise one needs to go to hunts point to get stuff this good.

Yeah don't know what the complaint is about. The lobster place, tacos stand, Vietnamese sandwich shop are all really good spots to eat. And not expensive

I always enjoy the food there. What's _not_ a tourist trap in Manhattan?

Agreed. CM ten years ago was a real neighborhood spot. CM five years ago was basically turning into the hipster version of Herald Square.
It really isn't. It's a tourist trap, especially with the completion of the High Line. The food isn't good and it's overpriced to take advantage of the tourists.
> As long as this transaction does not ruin the ecosystem of CM then New Yorkers are OK with this transaction.
Like new yorkers' opinions matters in manhattan. The only thing that matters in manhattan are billionaires - whether they be from california, israel, russia, china or anywhere else.
