At Industry City there was a Japanese Holiday Market by Niji that was on the second floor of the Japan Village building. They have a variety of jewelry, apparel, stationery, and food. The vendors have a table with their merchandise displayed out. It pop-up was a two day event December 14 & 15. After the holiday market I explored Industry City as there is various things to do with shops, exhibitions, and pop ups.
Columbus circle holiday market is a pop-up market by urban spaces that just takes place for the month of December. They have various vendors such as art, jewelry, crafts and accessories. It is a very fun market to visit if you need to find Christmas gifts. I went around 4pm and it wasn’t so crowded so this is a great alternative to the Bryant Park holiday pop-up market. There is food vendors in the market and seating area. The vendor behind me is a muppet vendor, they have different characters that customers can choose from. I highly reccomend visiting the market before it ends December 31st.
For my Museum visit I decided to go to the Museum of Modern Art since it’s a museum I haven’t visited. It focuses on contemporary and modern art. Here are some pictures of some of the exhibits located in the MoMa. There collections consist of photography, film, sculptures, painting and etc. Each piece has a significance as it portrays a story.
