Overview

This is the comprehensive guide to the rich and diverse markets of New York City: antique and flea markets, artisan markets, farmers' markets, seasonal markets, and more. Some markets are traditional, like Old World street-market experiences such as Bleecker Street and the Chelsea Market, where you'll find some of the most sophisticated food in the city; others are hip and edgy, like the young-designer markets where buyers from Bergdorf Goodman and Barneys find the fashion and designers of tomorrow. Seasonal markets include holiday gift markets and craft markets. The guide has excellent recommendations for die-hard shoppers who are interested in bargains or flea-market finds, as well as collectors, gift shoppers, and craft aficionados. Markets of New York City also includes recommendations for great food in and around the markets and suggested routes for full or half-day excursions.
