D S Market Place - New York City

Fantastic, A Christmas Extravaganza of great gifts , food and plants. I went today and can't wait to go back tomorrow

Fun place to go around. we went on a Saturday and it wasn't too busy. the lines for hot kakao and donuts were super long, but lines for the manufacturers were short/no. nice talk with local artists

Some real gems on the union square holiday market. beautiful to see so many unique gift options and meet the artists! also jewellery and snacks and silly gifts. a visit worth it! real. weird. visual arts; smart and cheerful :

It’s a the holiday season, so don’t be a BRAT but do enjoy a BRATWURST at the German Bratwurst stand at the Union Square Holiday Market. the Union Square Holiday Market is an annual event for me to shop at a bunch of local merchants and eat some delicious eats from different restaurants, pop-ups, food trucks, etc. from across the city. the Holiday Market runs from late October to Jan 2, each year. this review is about German food stand on the east side of the Holiday Market. you can smell the German sausages as savory scents waft through the air. there’s a large bbq grill with a variety of German sausages sizzling (brats, bauernwurst, currywurst, etc) as well as German pretzels warming on the side. ordered a Bratwurst—it comes in a roll, topped with sauerkraut and mustard. you can get ketchup (but don’t bc that is sacrilege! lol). the brat’ in a warm roll was so good and hit the spot as an on-the-go meal. the bratwurst is meaty, full of flavor, and good-sized serving. the roll is warm, but is a hard roll…so it has the right amount of chew and is not too soft. sauerkraut and mustard add a nice layer of flavor of sour, sweet, and tart-and-tangy. this is a must-eat for carnivores. the bratwurst is $8 tax tip. the brat is filling but leaves enough room to pick up other eats from other stands. tour the world’s foods from Union Square. the staff is friendly and keep the lines moving.

I discovered something truly amazing! I found a variety of stands selling ornaments, earth rings, and necklaces made from biodegradable materials. I also came across a stand that transforms old books into beautiful earrings. It's a wonderful and festive market that truly captures the joy of celebration. There are also a few food stalls to enjoy. You can find decorations, clothing, jewelry, eco-friendly products, sauces, oils, and more. While some items may be on the pricier side, it’s a good idea to check the stores' websites for prices unless you're planning on last-minute shopping.
