Union Square Holiday Market
Market · Union Square
It’s not surprising that one of the city’s most popular parks would transform into a top winter destination come December.
It’s not surprising that one of the city’s most popular parks would transform into a top winter destination come December. The park swells with vendors to the tune of 160, making it the largest holiday market in New York City.
Inspired by Germany’s storied Christmas markets, Glühwein (spiced mulled wine) is always guaranteed. The intoxicating aromas of roasted nuts and hot cider waft through the air as eager crowds make their way from one wooden house stall to the next.
Local’s Recommendation. This one of the most popular Christmas markets in New York City and crowds get intense, especially during weekends toward the tail end of December (any fellow last-minute shoppers out there?). Time your visit for a weekday morning if possible, the earlier, the better.
