Union Square Holiday Market

The Union Square Holiday Market (http://www.urbanspacenyc.com/union-square/) just started 2 weeks ago and it will go on until December 24.

It is located in Union Square (of course) just on the opposite side of the Union Square Farmers Market. With over 100 merchants and diffent kinds of products, it is a good option for those who are still deciding for holiday gifts and presents.

It happens everyday, from 11 am to 8 pm. Below are the directions. I went during the weekend, and don't expect an easy crowd. The "streets" are narrow, and difficult to circulate, but up to now there is "fighting" to shop on the tents. Everybody can have his/her space.

Some items are overprice, but it is just a matter of searching. For example, a cup of hot apple cider inside the Holiday Market was $3.50, and in the Farmers Market I was able to find hot apple cider for a buck. Nevertheless, a lot of shops have high quality products and since there is many stores, perhaps you can find there presents for everyone, skipping the obligation of going to different places (which in this time of year can be a a real burden).







Have Fun!




























Directions:
South end of Union Square, at West 14th Street.
