The Columbus Circle Holiday Market brings a refined, European feel to the base of Central Park, with aisles of artisan designers, gourmet bites and seasonal gifts.
It’s smaller than Union Square but beautifully set between the park and the Time Warner Center. Expect quality crafts, jewellery, knitwear and distinctive food kiosks—ideal for gift‑hunters who prefer a calmer scene. Pair your visit with ice‑skating at Wollman Rink or a wander through the park’s winter scenery. Subway access is simple via the 59 St–Columbus Circle hub. Note the market is closed on Christmas Day and winds down early on New Year’s Eve. If you’re after an atmospheric holiday shopping stop on the Upper West Side, this is a tasteful, photogenic choice with authentic seasonal charm.
