Tons of gems are inside the cavernous, overpopulated Chelsea Market, but the best grub-on-the-go is Friedman's lunch. The sandwiches are far from over-hyped and after recently having so many that were disappointing, I couldn't resist the hype anymore. Naturally, they were out of the specialty sandwich of the day (Fried Green Tomatoes w/ basil aioli on a brioche roll), so I opt for protein...the pulled pork & Holy Smokes!!! was it incredible!
The moist, smokey pork was overflowing from the wheat sesame-seeded hamburger bun, topped with pickled red onion and drizzled with papaya barbecue sauce. Does that not sound divine? Next up: Southwestern Turkey Burger with avocado aioli and the B.L.A.T. (Applewood Bacon, Lettuce, Avocado, Tomato on sourdough w/ herbed aioli). Also offered is gluten-free bread for any sandwich.
Other recommendations: Fried Chicken, Brook Trout Salad and breakfast
