Seems to get bigger every year. Smells terrific, thanks to the stalls selling baked goods , soap/ body care/ shaving products, teas and spice, etc. Hot apple cider is a must.
the hot chocolate from "no chewing allowed !" is the best i've *ever* had. be sure to have them add a chocolate truffle for $1 extra! mmm.
Holy damn the hot chocolate from "No Chewing Allowed !" is AMAZING. Come at night, get yourself a cup and wander around the beautiful handcrafted wares.
More crafts and gift stands, but plenty of warm and delicious food, like hot Sigmund's Pretzels , Bar Suzette crepes , Arancini Brothers' arancini , and more!
Lots of vendors, but the selection had gotten less diverse and more expensive every year. Yummy snack options- hot apple cider is my favorite.
So much fun to come here and check out the little shops and food vendors!
It's true ... everything will be expensive because most of it is artisanal and handmade . Definitely try out the food stands !
Perfect setting to soak up all the local creativity. I support small business owners and so should you...
German Delights sells authentic pfeffernüsse (German spiced cookies )!
Gets crowded during the weekends but tons of booths and great to wander around a look for cute gifts !
A great market that closes at 8PM on weekdays. Less crowded than the market by Columbus Circle. Support local artisans .
Momofuku’s Christmas version of popular cornflake cookie is made of real peppermint cornflakes , chocolate chips , marshmallows & crushed candy canes and is only found at this holiday market .
my favorite winter to-do in nyc!! stop and smell the spices, and get a cup of hot apple cider , for sure. support your local business!
Get the hot chocolate from No Chewing Allowed . It's the best ever!!

Love this market , kind of reminds me of the holiday markets in Europe
Cute spot to wander! Bring a date to cuddle with when it's chilly out and split a hot cider together :)
The crowds can be overwhelming, but there are some very talented artisans with some unique gifts to be found if you look past the expected fare
I'm on the fence about this holiday market . The ambiance is amazing, but the cost for everything is highly overpriced, except the hot food items.
It's a little crowded to wander around at times, but still so much fun!
I come here to buy quirky bullshit for my obnoxious hipster apartment . The best chocolate chip cookies , too
Great shops!!! Worth walking around to find a unique gift !
