Spice Market NYC, located in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District, was inspired by the street food Jean-Georges enjoyed while traveling in Southeast Asia. Since opening in 2004, the cuisine and lively atmosphere of the famed New York eatery has transported diners from Vietnamese street markets to a Thai food stalls.
