One of the most important cities in the US, New York City offers
tourists looking to shop on a tight budget a large number of market
places. Tourists will find plenty of markets in the city, including
several flea markets, green markets and heritage markets. Regular
shoppers who live in and around New York City flock to these
marketplaces along with tourists who frequent these markets for great
bargains and memorable shopping experiences.
The five boroughs of
New York City - Brooklyn, Manhattan, the Bronx, Queens and Staten Island
- have greenmarkets like Bowling Green, City Hall, Lafayette Street,
Jackson Heights, Lincoln Hospital and Windsor Terrace where farmers sell
fresh fruits, vegetables and other farm produce. Held on Mondays,
Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays between 8 am and 6 pm, the Union
Square Greenmarket is among the most famous of NYC's greenmarkets. The
temporary kiosks of the Union Square Holiday Market held between
November 23 and December 24 are an annual attraction.
Other
well-known markets include the Whole Foods Market that sells natural and
organic products, and Chelsea Market stretching from Ninth to Tenth
Avenue and 15th to 16th Street.
At flea markets like Hell's
Kitchen Flea Market, Antiques Garage, Brooklyn Flea and Williamsburg
Flea Market, one can find second-hand wares ranging from designer
clothing to vintage records and high-end furniture, home decor items,
beauty products and handmade jewellery.
One of the very best
markets and one which tends not to get very much press coverage or is
rarely mentioned in tourist literature is Bronx Market. The market is
located just inside the Bronx and is quite easily accessible via the
subway system and this market is one which provides many excellent
bargains.
Some of the permanent indoor markets are also well worth
considering and there are dozens scattered throughout New York City.
Greenmarket in Union Square is in a great location and this is one of
the most popular indoor markets with both locals and tourist visitors to
the area. With over 120 fixed traders in the market, you can buy pretty
much anything in Greenmarket
