"If you say “holiday market” to a New Yorker, chances are they’ll direct you to the bustling Union Square Holiday Market. With 185 vendors spread across concentric half-circles of booths, we’re not exaggerating when we say you can find the perfect present for everyone on your list at this sprawling pop-up. Some buzzy vendors to look out for this year? Pigeon be Pigeon’s bird-centric cartoons and drawings, Rubyzaar’s colorful scarves from Southeast Asia and East Africa, and make sure to save time to explore the many food purveyors for snacks like hot chocolate and mac and cheese. Pro tip: As the city’s most famous market, it can get quite crowded on nights and weekends, so try to opt for daytime weekday visits if possible."
