Markets of New York City: A Guide to the Best Artisan, Farmer, Food, and Flea Markets

Description

This is the comprehensive guide to the rich and diverse markets of New York City: antique and flea markets, artisan markets, farmers’ markets, seasonal markets, and more. Some markets are traditional, like Old World street-market experiences such as Bleecker Street and the Chelsea Market, where you’ll find some of the most sophisticated food in the city; others are hip and edgy, like the young-designer markets where buyers from Bergdorf Goodman and Barneys find the fashion and designers of tomorrow. Seasonal markets include holiday gift markets and craft markets. The guide has excellent recommendations for die-hard shoppers who are interested in bargains or flea-market finds, as well as collectors, gift shoppers, and craft aficionados. Markets of New York City also includes recommendations for great food in and around the markets and suggested routes for full or half-day excursions.

Summary: "Good if you dont live in NYC"

I am a bit of a market junky, so was excited to get this book, however for me living in NYC for the past 4 years, I mostly knew about the markets. There are a couple new ones that I am looking forward to checking out. I would say this book is better for people who either dont live in NYC, are new to NYC or overall dont go to very many markets.

Summary: "I thought this book was for tourists, but it's not"

I hesitated to buy this book because I thought:

1) This book is for tourists

2) It can't contain any information that can't be found on the internet

But something made me buy it and I'm truly impressed. The book is sturdy, nicely sized, succinctly written, with beautiful pictures.

For one, it's not just for tourists. The first week I had it I found three markets that I would have other missed within walking vicinity of where I was in the city.

Secondly, they've done the internet research for you, and have included a bunch of info that you wouldn't find anywhere but from the mouth of a New Yorker.

Highly reccomend.
