Adam's Market Place

Deli counters line many corners of Chelsea, each offering a slightly different take on sandwiches and salads. Some lean toward classic New York bagels, others toward imported meats or artisanal bread. Adam's Market Place sits among them at 197 8th Ave, New York, NY 10011, a short walk from the High Line’s southern entrance.

Around here, delis often double as quick-service cafés—places where office workers grab a coffee and a wrap between meetings. They usually stock a mix of cold cuts, cheeses, and prepared foods like egg salad or roasted vegetables. A few even slice custom orders while you wait, though the line can stretch during lunch hour.

If you’re mapping out a visit, the number to call ahead is (212) 620-7461. That way you can confirm what’s fresh before you arrive, especially if you’re planning to pick up something for a group. The map will show you the exact spot, just steps from the 14th Street subway station.

Chelsea regulars tend to cycle through a handful of delis, depending on who has the best special that day. Once you’ve tried a few, it’s easy to settle on one that feels reliable—no fuss, just a solid sandwich when you need it.
