I’ve been here in every season. My favorite? Fall, when the light hits just right.
Nestled at the southwest entrance of Central Park, wandering through the Columbus Circle Holiday Market feels like stepping foot in a Hallmark movie. Dating back to 1993, the open-air market offers tons of handcrafted goods, from jewelry and artwork to gourmet holiday treats and delicious hot chocolate. With more than 100 vendors, it’s a great spot to stock up on souvenirs!
