"Macy’s Holiday Square Holiday Market transforms the Herald Square area into a garland-lined, string-lit labyrinth of gifts and goodies in December, like a little (well, big) miracle on 34th street. Some shoppers make their way toward permanent bracelets and engraved ornaments; others walk the market under a pleasant apple cider haze, thanks to Breezy Hill Orchard. Try the Colombian empanadas from Chanta Casa de Empanada or the Korean fried chicken from Dippin' Chicken. You cannot miss the city’s holiday market staple: the raclette sandwich from Baked Haus Cheese, where cheese is melted and then layered theatrically atop prosciutto and cornichons. And wait, there’s more! Inside Macy’s, the indoor market has artful, bougie Char-CUTE-rie boards and golden dumplings from Brooklyn Dumpling Shop. With this lineup, you’re guaranteed to leave with a full stomach, or at least, with a great shelf-stable goodie for someone you love." - Kayleigh Ruller
"The holiday market at Broadway and 36th Street experienced a fire yesterday morning, "resulting in the destruction of a number of small business booths. This is a devastating moment for our market family, especially during what should be a joyful holiday season," a press release states. "We are actively working with local officials to determine the cause of the fire and ensure the site is secure and safe for the rest of the vendors and visitors to other parts of the market." Booths unaffected by the fire will continue to stay open." - Emma Orlow
"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."
