POOR MARKTING

I was invited by a couple friends to join them for dinner. They said they were going to the Market Restaurant at Ninth Ave. and 14th St. So I wanted to find out a little about the place beforehand, and I Googled it. Nothing. I found Spice Market and Chelsea Market in the neighborhood, but no Market. Could it be that new?

Nevertheless at the appointed time I took a cab and went to Ninth and 14th, and sure enough, there it was, right on the corner--except it was Markt, not Market. It's a Belgian restaurant, and they used the Flemish spelling. Not a really great marketing ploy. But the food was very good, and the service was excellent.
