    Coming from a family that worked in the sewing factories during WWII I love this neighborhood in Manhattan. My daughter inherited my mother's domestic talents. I am the athletic tomboy in my family. I'm not good and do not have the patience or fine motor skills for sewing, cooking, knitting and the girlie stuff. What I love is being in this historic environment. The architecture and the old spaces with high ceilings. Huge bolts of every kind of material. Material from all over the world. It's so much fun watching my daughter hunt for the perfect fabric for a coat, dress and especially for the cape she made one winter. The options are numerous. There's plenty of accessories needed. Zipper stores, button stores and beads galore. Don't forget the sequins and patches. You can have scissors sharpened and purchase needles, sewing supplies and costumes. I'm a huge fan. I sometimes go to wonder around just to see what is new. I forget the stores so it's all new these days. Bring cash, credit cards may not always be accepted. Check for signs that say Wholesale Only, I avoid those. Don't forget the sidewalk medallions on the Fashion Walk of Fame. Also the beautiful sculptures you may see. Some sculptures are temporary and some permanent. Most of all feel the spirit of the neighborhood. Lots of ghosts here.

    The Garment District, also known as the Fashion District, or Center, is a neighborhood located in the borough of Manhattan in New York City. The dense concentration of fashion-related uses give the neighborhood its name. Garment District less than 1 square mile (2.6 km2), is generally considered to lie between Fifth Avenue and Ninth Avenue, from 34th to 42nd Streets it is still home to many of New York City's showrooms and to numerous major fashion labels, and caters to all aspects of the fashion process from design and production to wholesale selling. The Garment District has been known since the early 20th century as the center for fashion manufacturing and fashion design in the United States and at one time Mob

    Union Square Night Market - 6/5/2025

    Stumbled upon the Union Square Night Market while walking through the park on a Thursday evening…read more As a big fan of outdoor food markets, I was excited to see one pop up in Union Square for the summer. The Night Market is open on Thursdays and Fridays from noon to 10pm. For such a compact space, there's a great variety of vendors offering different types of food. After checking out the options, I went with a braised chicken arepa and a pork belly & sweet plantain empanada from Ehbra Colombian Food. The total came to $19, which felt like a solid deal given the portion size and quality. There are picnic tables set up around the vendors, so it was nice not having to eat on a park bench.

I wanted to have the jerk chicken with rice cooked in a pineapple shell but at $15 it was both expensive and too large for me. I had three meat skewers which were $10 for 3 or $4 each. I sat at a table under an umbrella to eat. The sun was high in the sky and it was hot. Music is always here and what made my lunch enjoyable was Michael Jackson signing "PYT" loudly. Lots of people are here and this will go on till the evening. Some booths are going to be in Bryant Park end of October.

    When I heard about the renovation work several years ago, I initially assumed it'd be a surface…read morereno, but upon re-visiting a few years ago, wow they really reimagined and rebuilt this market pretty much from ground up! The interior is laid out much like indoor markets in Europe with a mainly rectangular floor plan, split into a few different aisles with vendor stalls lining every walkway. High ceilings provide a sense of vastness though you'll occasionally see birds that have made their way inside flying around. The first floor is a mix of food vendors offering various hot/cold foods, a grocery, vintage record store, beer shop, wine bar, herbs and spices stand, bakeries and desserts, barbershop, flower shop, cheese and charcuterie purveyors, gourmet food gifts, coffee, fishmonger and butcher. Downstairs used to be a handful of additional food vendors, vintage/thrift clothing resale, an Asian grocery, leather goods stand, outpost of Yu & Me--a local bookstore, though PSA as of current (March 2026) status of the basement level is closed and under renovation. I'll be honest as much as this newer format is nice, whenever I've walked in there's never been much foot traffic, with the exception of days there are special events on weekends, perhaps because it's kinda further from more touristy areas while being too much of a destination (and on the pricier side) for locals. I also think that as a semi-kind of food hall place, there's not that much in-your-face evident seating for those who'd like to stick around to enjoy their meal or snacks, I think the addition of more open seating could be beneficial. All that being said, wishing all these vendors the best and hoping they're able to reopen the downstairs again soon! For more info: https://www.essexmarket.nyc Yelp note: review #1300!

    If you take the crosstown bus and walk from 79th Street on Columbus Avenue to the flea market,…read moreyou'll pass various farm stands lining the road. It made my visit to the Bazaar all the more pleasant. I've been coming to Grand Bazaar for more years than I care to remember, having taken a break for ten -- okay twenty -- years. Can't put my finger on why, perhaps I'm not as interested as I used to be. While the market is vibrant and busy, it's not as it was. Perhaps not as much diversity in wares. (I used to get a lot of pottery, art and vintage jewelry.) Back in the day, my friends and I would go to the East Village and buy funky old fur jackets for a song. I kind of had that in the back of my mind coming here. (There are many vintage coat vendors.) But prices have risen considerably. (What hasn't?!) The market is open Sundays, year 'round. Despite buying nothing, I know I'll be back. (Maybe coats get cheaper when it's warmer.) Plus, I like strolling around on the upper westside, which has a different flavor than the eastside, where I live.

    I was lucky enough to wander across this market and was blown away by how large and diverse it is…read moreonce you enter. There was such an array of goodies from home goods to clothing to candles and more in all price ranges. Everyone was friendly and talkative about their products. I picked up some early Christmas gifts and I am so excited to show my family. I think this is such an easy way to get unique finds for an array of people all in one spot or just to shop for yourself. I heard they also carry some really cute vintage clothing so you can score really cute pieces here in a nice open air space so there's a relaxed shopping experience.
