Hotels near Grand Bazaar NYC

Grand Bazaar NYC is one of the oldest weekly markets in New York, held every Sunday in the schoolyard and halls at Columbus Avenue and West 77th Street. Around the holidays, it adds extra seasonal vendors and festive food, so it works as a Christmas market for anyone who wants local makers without the Midtown crowds.

Expect around 100 stalls selling vintage clothing, antiques, jewellery, art, handmade gifts and street food, with both indoor and outdoor sections. Opening hours are usually 10am to 5:30pm, and entry is free. Profits go to local public schools, so your shopping supports the neighbourhood.

The market sits directly across from the American Museum of Natural History, which has its own holiday traditions, including the Origami Holiday Tree.

Pro Tip: Arrive before 11am for the best pick of vintage stock, then cross the street to the American Museum of Natural History. Check the Grand Bazaar website for special holiday editions in December, which have run at other venues in past seasons.
