MANHATTAN — If the popsicles, cupcakes and organic food shops dominating in Chelsea Market aren't sufficiently savory for you, relief may be in sight.

East Village-based Australian meat pie maker Tuck Shop is opening a new space the market in early November, Eater reported. Beginning around Nov. 7, they'll open up a counter near the 15th Street entrance, according to Eater.

The menu's mix of traditional pies, popular in Australia as roadside bites and late night snacks, include ground beef and seasonal beef offerings and a "chook" pie (chicken, ham and leeks in white gravy).

Tuck Shop also serves up a Guinness steak and mushroom pie, a nod to co-owner Niall Grant's Dublin roots. Prices range from $5 to $6.

This fall at the new Chelsea location, Tuck Shop will also serve a "floater" — pea soup with a meat pie drifting in the middle, Eater reported.

Tuck Shop currently operates at 115 St. Mark's Place and 68 E. 1st St.
