Who?  Anyone shopping for holiday gifts in New York City or wants to peruse local talent in the Greenwich Village area.

What? TheMarketNYC is a pop up store that features local artists and their products.

How? The store is located at 159 Bleecker Street in New York City.  It is located in the heart of Greenwich Village.

Why?  The Greenwich Village area is home to a variety of vintage stores, local design shops and many a famous designer.  We happened upon this store on one of our routine walks around the Village, saw the sign, heard interesting music and entered.  The store is essentially a collection of stalls featuring eclectic objects made by local artists and designers.  Funky jewelry, yummy smelling soap, bags reflecting NYC scenes, handmade leather wallets, music by local artists, you can find all this and more.  Not knowing what to expect, we thought things would be really pricey.  You can find indulgences big and small and this is an interesting place to peek into for your holiday gift giving and beyond.
