One of the best holiday activities NYC offers (imo) is their winter markets ❄️ Beat the crowds at Bryant Park, Herald Square & Union Square by checking out the holiday shops at Columbus Circle! It’s by far the LEAST crowded holiday market I’ve been to, and have plenty of food/dessert/gift shops to check out! Some highlights were: 💎DIY charm bracelet/necklace 🍰alcohol infused cake jars 🧀cheese wheel pasta It’s easy to get to via the 1, A & C lines, and lies at the edge of Central Park— right across the street are the Shops at Columbus Circle, a mall with lots of stores & upscale restaurants!
