We visited Grand Bazaar NYC on the Upper West Side and really enjoyed the atmosphere. The market is one of the oldest and largest weekly flea markets in New York City, running every Sunday with both indoor and outdoor vendors. It has a fun and lively vibe with a mix of vintage items, handmade crafts, jewelry, artwork, clothing, collectibles, and food stands all in one place. What we liked most was how easy it was to spend a few hours just walking around and exploring different local vendors and small businesses. The market feels very New York, with lots of unique finds and creative products you do not usually see in regular stores. read more

If you take the crosstown bus and walk from 79th Street on Columbus Avenue to the flea market, you'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. read more

Great vendors! I really liked this blue sparkling drink I got. There's a lot of really cute vintage clothing and jackets. Prices seem reasonable considering I thought the selection was pretty good. I went to check out the viral leather bags, which were so cute. read more

Really cool spot to spend some time checking out vendor booths to see what piques your eye. I ended up grabbing a hibiscus tea (incredible!!), along with a few trinkets to bring home. The booths are mostly trinkets, jewelry, metals, etc. some tents with vintage or used clothes. A few food booths. And of course a few art booths. It's a good selection of different odds and ends. What I didn't see (and was totally fine by me) was any new junk and also not too housewares/furniture. Not much beauty products although there were a couple vendors selling soap. Ended up connecting with a really cool vendor who finds glass items via digs. Every piece had a story and so did the vendor. Really appreciated the connection and bought something just to remember the experience. Really glad I came here. read more

A converted school yard on the upper west side near Central Park and the Museum of Natural History is the home for this flea. A playground full of vendor stalls that extends into the school building. We went there looking for some unique thank you gifts for those that helped us with the fur baby while out of town. There was clothing of all sorts and vintage. Records, watches, t-shirts, soaps. We didn't find anything that said "must take home" but it was a fun place to walk around and browse. read more

I was lucky enough to wander across this market and was blown away by how large and diverse it is once 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. read more

I really had the best time! So many different kinds of vendors ! I must say that my number would reason for going was to see a booth by "Really Bad Portraits " ... this fellow does a less than three minute portrait of you ! And I've seen his work online of people posing alone, posing with their dog, posing with their friend. And he really has a charming way of capturing the moment. I'm a big fan and I enjoyed my portrait very much. When I first arrived, there were six people waiting. The line moves pretty fast because he's really only taking a couple of minutes per person! They had clothing booths with original designs. They had resale clothing booths too. They had oodles of food booths, dumplings, they had curry , Japanese food and sooooo much more. They had beautiful handmade pottery by a lady names Atsuko! I wanted them all! Very beautiful original design! Perfect for gifts!! Everything was price so good. All the vendors were happy and all the customers were very happy. I can't wait to come back!! There was a spice vendor as soon as I walked in, and you could even sample the taste of the spices ! I saw za'atar there ($12 for a container) read more

This was a fun treasure hunt, and felt very New York to a couple of visitors! My sister and I went for our Sunday activity and left with vintage jewelry, some cold weather accessories, and boots for her. We had done a great job not spending money until we hit the Bazaar! I would definitely go back. We went in January, so bundle up, about half is outside. There are no restrooms available, so factor that into your calculations. But there's jewelry, clothes, records, art, and food to explore, and you're sure to find a treasure. read more

A mix of great vendors and not so great vendors, but probably something for everyone! It was a very cold day, and not crowded at all. We had plenty of time and space to browse and spent entirely too much money! But found some great vintage jewelry and Italian made leather goods. (No public restrooms so plan accordingly) read more

On a cold Sunday we decided to go the Grand Bazaar to browse through the many vendors located inside and outside. It was very cold for the outdoor vendors, but there was a decent crowd of shoppers browsing antiques, vintage clothes, jewelry, vinyls, candles and many unique things. During the holidays and summer there are more vendors, but there were enough to make it worthwhile. Tip- there are no bathrooms and many of the vendors had signs they prefer cash. read more

This ended up being our most successful shopping destination on our recent trip to NY, buying jewelry and knickknacks from various vendors at reasonable prices. An fairly eclectic variety of things sold - antiques garage-sale style, original art/cartoons, body products, jewelry, etc. The neighborhood close by is also extremely walkable with lots of shops to drop by (Allbirds, Magnolia Bakery, etc). read more

A wonderful flea/craft market. May you find the treasure of your dreams... (On the way there, walk along Central Park West and enjoy the magnificent and iconic architectural masterpieces.) read more

I actually enjoyed my time at the Grand Bazaar. I came for the food really and it didn't disappoint me!! They had a huge variety of cultures Chinese, Bbq, Latin, Indian, American, Korean, etc., and can't even comment on the ice cream vendors. It was a huge success for us!!! We had Mao's bao, tried samosas from Mysttik Masaala, chicken skewers from Maze-Maze, empanadas from Empanada Papa, fried ice cream from Sam's fried icecream. It was a feast and I was so in the moment that forgot to take pictures of all the awesome vendors!!! My recommendation to you is: Go, you'll find something you'll like and something you'll love and there's no entrance fee, which makes it so much better!!!! You won't regret visiting at least once, it's worth it!!! read more

It's been a while since my last visit and I'm glad this place looks like pre-Covid. I was here this past Sunday and the flea market was packed. Plenty of food stalls for hungry stomachs and merchandise (including some weird accessories) for heavy wallets. I wouldn't really consider it a bazaar, though... when you've been to THE Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, you can't help but shrugging your shoulders pretty much everywhere else. However, it's still a cool flea market to stroll. read more

It's a bit toasty out here in New York City, but plenty to see and do, so excuses. The Grand Bazaar has been on my radar for quite a while. Stumbled upon it and decided today was the day. Strolling up and down the isles of tents, you'll find food, spices, clothing, jewelry and all kinds of trinkets. If you go inside the school where the bazaar is held, there's even more neat stuff to see and buy. It's a lot cooler, and there is seating. If you need something, anything, you'll probably find it here. read more

My favorite place to find vintage clothes (especially vintage designer...and for good prices!!!). Found these pink Gucci slingback heels that I didn't buy and will regret until the day I die. But did buy a vintage Dior scarf that I looove. So many awesome booths with super talented and friendly artists. I would go every single weekend if I had the time. read more

This place is so much fun and allows you to be outside and enjoy the sunshine or just be out! The vendors have a wide range of new, old, used and creative items for sale. You can buy glassware your grandmother had, new pillowcases for your couch, rugs, jewelry, mink coat, massage oil and even pickles! The food vendors are very unique. It's a great place to go and support our local community. read more

Mostly vintage clothing and some. handmade or vintage jewelry. Next to the Haight in SF, this is nothing. But, it has an interesting selection of food. They had iced tea but no boba. They had veggie-based popsicles, but again not super creative. Kind of bummed. read more

I was in town for work and wanted to do some treasure hunting in my free time. What's a better place to do that than a flea market? NYC Grand Bazaar seemed to fit the bill from my search online, and staying at a hotel about a mile away, it made for the perfect Sunday morning stroll up the edge of Central Park. All the things I like sifting through were there: Old postcards, vintage clothes, vinyl, so many vintage Coach bags. The prices were more than I'm used to, but it is Manhattan, after all. One vendor stood out in particular. He has a site called NY shirt guy and screen prints some great witty regional and celebrity based tees. We spent too much money at his booth, ha! In addition to the flea market itself, there was an array of food vendors in the periphery. We got some delicious locally grown apples and cider on our way out and we were able to walk directly down Columbus Avenue for several blocks since they blocked them off for Open Streets. It was a lovely way to spend a Sunday. The treasures were priced a little high, but definitely go for the adventure and people watching anyhow. Maybe you'll even find something. read more

I only found out about the Grand Bazaar earlier this summer and finally got the chance to go this past weekend! It was super fun to walk around the different stalls (even though it was burning hot) and look at all of the different items. My sister and I had just eaten, so we skipped the food section. There were some nice looking options, though :) We spent at least an hour flipping through old postcards and posters, admiring colorful clothing (there were some ridiculously cute baby clothes), and scanning tables of trinkets. I got a little scissors charm for $2 and a chain for $4, and a woman at a jewelry stall was super helpful and removed a couple of inches of the chain for me for free! (She did it in 5 seconds tops, which was really impressive.) We also picked up a number of cute little ceramic animals for members of our family and ourselves. The things being sold outside were more to our liking and cheaper, but it was much cooler indoors and (important tip!) there was a water fountain inside around the corner (when you enter, go to the right--it is in that hallway.) The Grand Bazaar is a great place for wandering around when on the Upper West Side, and I'll probably come back if I need to pick up some small gifts! read more

Amazing!!!! Mid Manhattan glorified festival, spectacular loved it!!!! This one of the reasons I love my hometown they shut down the street for blocks and blocks, no cars allowed just people wandering the free streets of NYC!!!!

Woooo hooo I made it to the Grand Opening at the Grand Bazaar today on another hot day as summer is grasping tightly. When brings me here is of course Black Label Donuts...Richard, the creator was almost sold out on his donuts with Boston Buzz and Strawberry Rose Petal left. I got the Strawberry Rose Petal...fluffy donut with each bite of that delicious jam filling. I got to meet Mike C. (foodbaby) *highlight of my day* =) I walked around and check out the vendors inside the school. I was trying on these two aviators but I like the red-orange pair better than the green pair so I got a good deal on them 2 pairs for $5 instead of one pair for $3 #score I made my way back to Black Label Donuts and Nippon Cha's tent. I ordered a Yuzu Lemonde minus the Matcha since I can't in-take tea from Nippon Cha (Bayside, Queens #representyo) which was such a refreshing cold drink with slices of lemon sunken to the bottom of my cup =) read more

Were it not for the presence of the Flea Market Flip crew - and my friend's enthusiastic reaction to their presence - I'd remember Grand Bazaar NYC as a sweltering blacktop dotted sparsely with vendor booths and a marginally less sweltering gymnasium filled with nothing I wanted, needed, or was much interested in. Several years ago I'd gone to something similar elsewhere in NYC and, within moments of entering, found and purchased a lucite bracelet with green scarab beetles embedded inside. I've been on the hunt ever since but here there was nothing worth hunting. A boatload of old jewelry, stuff that looked like it came from my long-gone grandma's house, food vendors about whom my friend said "no way am I eating anything that's made outside in 95 degree weather", and straight-up junk. The vendors outside offered more new stuff than the vendors inside but looking at their wares required standing in brutal heat and punishing sun. I couldn't. Which brings me to Flea Market Flip (HGTV), a show I'd never before heard of. It was being filmed out in that brutal sun and heat and I got filmed. I even had to sign two releases. My friend explained the concept of the show but I asked questions of its hosts regardless, while trying to make sense of it all and the furnishings they were hawking. Grand Bazaar is only as good as its vendors and on this visit? Not so good. Regardless, watch for me on a future episode of Flea Market Flip, an episode also featuring Gilbert Gottfried. read more

Had a really great time at the Grand Bazaar a few weekends ago. I have always seen it advertised so I convinced my friend to make the trip in with me. We had no real expectations going into it, just curiosity. There were many tents of people selling items that they've made from jewelry to clothing, soaps and essential oils, hairbands and scarves, they had it all. Mixed in with these vendors were some antiques, some junk, and some other interesting collections. We enjoyed walking through and making small talk with the vendors, all really pleasant people. I found a fantastic mirror that I plan to use for my wedding, while the frame is plastic, the vendor gave me a great deal on it and held onto it for me while I looked around. There were also other vendors with mirrors and furniture and rugs if those are items you're looking for. Overall, we had a great experience. Looking forward to taking others to the Grand Bazaar sometime soon! read more

We went to a grand opening of the Grand Bazaar NYC, weekly market located on the Upper West Side. The great thing about this market is that the profits from the market donates 100% of its net revenue to four neighborhood public schools, benefiting over 4,000 children by providing them with art enrichment programs, books, supplies, teaching assistants, sports and chess programs. So you can feel good about spending money here, since your money will be going towards the great cause! You can find some "antique" or something simply "old" (based on the customer judgement...), some creative handmade jewelry, arts, furniture, and of course, some yummy food. This market has both indoor and outdoor space, which is great for a rainy day or super hot/cold day. The value of the items goes from very affordable to a bit over-priced, as most of this type of bazaar or flea market type would offer. We bought some scones from The Hungry Gnome, which were AMAZING! We also bought Jumbo Lava Chocolate Chip Cookie from Bruffin, and German Butter Cake and Yona's Gourmet Delights. It was a fun visit, and will be sure to check back again! read more

I had forgotten I already came here last year, it was still cold out, and walking around I felt like I was tricked. Not much of a bazaar, or perhaps my definition of bazaar is incorrect. Today I went again, it was pretty quiet, A few nicer tents set up, handmade bags, some nice pillow covers, about 6 places to eat, arepas, banh mi, marmalade and empanadas. Really good empanada. Banh mi for 10$ There was a section with mirrors for sale and some furniture, you will need a pickup truck most likely A table with Buddhist items and questionably authentic items. There's an inside section with jewellery and some photo/pictures for sale It deserves a walk thru at least once if your interested. read more

We went to the Grand Opening of the Grand Bazaar. The weekend flea market is re-branding with this new name but it is great that the net profits go to the local schools in NYC. Located on Columbus between In the late afternoon, we were looking for some sweets and the Hungry Gnomes were ready with their scones. I would recommend any of their flavors from blueberry, cherry vanilla to chocolate chip. The Happy Gnomes baker was popular on one of those reality TV cooking shows so try it if they have some options. Scones were from $3.75 each or three for $10. The Grand Bazaar NYC has a wide selection of antiques and other flea market standard vendors. As you enter from 77th Street and Columbus corner, there are quite food vendors less than five to six on the day that we came. If you are in the area, I would recommend a wander around. Don't forget to make your way inside the building because there are more vendors inside. There was a lot of antique jewelry which is not interest. It is always fun to window shop a little bit albeit with out windows. read more

Grand Bazaar is a great spot to look at and buy local artist work. Great street food, ceramics, vintage clothes, vinyl, charms, and art are all displayed under carps. Bazaar is such a fun environment, and you can spend hours admiring the local art and talking to the artists and vendors. I bought some flavored pickles and a lovely vintage jacket. I loved this experience and recommend it to anyone near the upper west side looking for a fun activity. read more

Mom and I have come here for years! On a recent trip we got to visit again and we couldn't believe how much it's grown! While the indoor section has remained the same (with a flea market feel) the outside has gained a lot. In the parking lot there is a mix of food and local artists. The artist sell everything from lawn decorations and wall art to jewelry and old glass bottle. The food? A few ice cream options, some Mexican, some Asian, some vegetarian/vegan, something for everyone! But just know that the lines for some of these place get pretty long! read more

What better way to spend the weekend then attending a food fair? One of my favorite summer activities :) With a name such as "taste the world" my expectations were a bit different, I was expecting a lot more international exotic foods, as well as more vendors. Nevertheless I still had a great time. There was a good turnout of attendees, but not overly crowded and the lines went very quickly. The variety of ethnic foods was as follow: Indian, Spanish, Caribbean, Greek, Korean, Chinese, and Japanese. The highlight for me were the desserts. I really enjoyed the fresh Belgium chocolate mousse from chef Johan Halsberghe, it was so delicate, smooth and rich. I felt as if I was eating a fine dessert from a Michelin rated restaurant. I also very much enjoyed the Egg waffle with vanilla ice cream, Gai Dan Jai Wowfulls. I chose the vanilla rainbow color ice cream, with fruity pebbles and a drizzle of chocolate fudge. This was a fun treat to eat and very shareable. It was definitely a nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon. read more
