Union Square Holiday Market Review

This was my favorite holiday market till I found out that the one at Bryant Park is BIGGER!  This one is still legit though, especially if you come on a Friday or Saturday, and its combined with the farmers market, too! Almost everything is overpriced, but that's probably also because a lot of things are made locally, so that's pretty cool!  And it's a nice change from shopping at your usual giant mall, and fun to look at all the different things that the stands offer!  Even if you don't end up buying anything, you'll have a good time just exploring.  it's so festive!!

I love all the different jewelry stands, and if you have a thing for animal hats, the holiday market is your spot!  There are also a lot of artworks, and everything is hand crafted! Lots of stands also sell fresh hot apple cider and hot chocolate, and there are also many food vendors to choose from.  Cash only though!  You'll see a lot of the same stands at the Bryant Park and Columbus Circle holiday markets, so no worries if you can only make it to one of them!  Union Square is nice just in itself, though!  It's a fun place to be to experience the holidays in NYC
