As the shopping frenzy escalates during the last few weeks of the holiday season, we may only have time to hit a few more destinations. When deciding which holiday market reigns supreme, consider the following:
Bryant Park | ||
Décor | Ramshackle candy cane old-world charm | Manicured (sometimes heated) glass-enclosed mini-shops |
Ambience | Crowded…but surrounding neighborhoods not as crowded as midtown | Crowded…free ice-skating on hand |
Environs | Downtown, more locals congregating nearby | Midtown Christmas-land, more tourists touring |
Merchandise Selection | Better and more interesting merchandise, including: glass ornaments and a variety of jewelry | More generic merchandise, with a wider variety of clothing and more big names food-wise |
And the champion is Union Square What gives Union Square the edge? Their locally sourced interesting gift offerings set in an adorably confusing labyrinth of stalls that, just for the moment, transports you to a European market on a balmy winter’s day...Happy Holidays!!
