If you’re planning on scurrying about the city doing some last-minute shopping this weekend (can you believe Christmas is next week?!), try hitting up some of the gorgeous holiday markets that are dotted all over NYC. 

Holiday Market at Union Square: My personal favorite, and the place I run to every year for hand-carved wine bottle holders, delicate jewelry, and tons of options for kids.

Holiday Shops at Bryant Park: More than 100 vendors from around the world…and free ice skating! 

Grand Central Holiday Fair: Baby, it’s cold outside…but lucky for you, you can stay toasty-warm at this shopping destination in Vanderbilt Hall.

Holiday Markets at Columbus Circle: The best destination for foodies, these markets offer coupon cards for discounts at some of the finest dining establishments in town. 

Holiday Gift Shops at St. Bart’s (50th and Park): Not only was this the site of my 6th grade birthday party (my best friend’s parents were members of the church, and we had a double party) and my very first slow dance EVER…it is also where you can partake in some very picturesque Christmas shopping. Lots of knit winter-wear, and some nice vintage stuff (jewelry, watches).
