This is the comprehensive guide to the rich and diverse market of New York City.
You’ll also find traditional markets streets that for centuries have provided food for New Yorkers, and that continue to have the best specialized food shops in the city. And of course there are the fifty beloved farmers markets that have become models for local sustainable food movements throughout the country.

This guide also includes the many innovative markets where buyers from Bergdorf’s and Barneys find the fashions and designers of tomorrow. These include the Brooklyn Flea, the Young Designers Markets, the Renegade Crafts market, or simply certain “hipster” locations on the sidewalks of Houston or Bleecker streets.

The guide also features Antique and Flea Markets where you’ll find everything from Bakelite bracelets to mid-century modern lighting fixtures, signed Broadway memorabilia and pristine vintage clothing. The many seasonal markets hosted by the City of New York throughout the year are also listed and described, and include holiday gift markets and craft markets that take place in magical “only in New York” settings such as Central Park and Bryant Park.

The guide has excellent recommendations for die-hard shoppers and shoppers interested in bargains, as well as collectors, craft aficionados and, last but not least, gourmets—many of NYC’s favorite neighborhood chefs and bakers regularly debut their innovative cuisine at these markets.
