I’m interested in working at the Essex Street Market. How do I contact the hiring manager?
Each business is independently owned at the market. If you’re interested in working for a particular vendor, please contact that vendor directly. If you’re interested in a career at New York City Economic Development Corporation, visit www.edc.nyc/careers.
Where can I park?
A majority of our customer walk; however, our neighborhood has several on-street parking spaces (paid). There is also a paid parking garage directly across the street from us. How convenient is that?
