A Union Square Holiday Market in New York City

 

Hey again bloggers or whoever could be reading this blagh. And so it seems like that holiday of Christmas has rolled around again here on planet earth according to that Gregorian calendar on the wall. And with this holiday season comes those holiday markets and that Union Square Holiday Market in New York City that I found myself attempting to vend those Tompkins Square Park, Union Square Park and Washington Square Park t - shirts for $10 each at, well next to the holiday market, in vendors row, instead of those Black Lives Matter necklaces, magnets, key chains and pins that I sometimes find myself attempting to vend there.

And in all blogger honesty, it was a day of an attempt to vend those t - shirts for $10 each while hiding out and waiting for the New York City Parks Department green park ranger cops to leave cause "you can't sell clothing here", in the middle of winter where you sell three whole t-shirts in three hours.

And this year of 2025, Urban Space has pop up markets in New York City Holiday Markets of Herald Square, Columbus Circle, Holiday Shops at Bryant Park Winter Village, Macy's Holiday Square and Union Square which has 185 vendors featuring unique gifts created by local craftspeople, artists, and entrepreneurs where a single booth can cost $20,000.00, that's right! Twenty thousand dollars for one month.

And we are still living in crazy times as I type this blagh post and I am still waiting to see if that comet 3I/ATLAS is an alien invasion or not and other headline news of the day.

The only thing constant is change and some stories do not end as you expect. Have a great winter holiday and more.

The Union Square Holiday Market Is Canceled

Hey again bloggers or whoever could be reading this blagh. This blog post isn't really about anything other than that the Union Square Holiday Market is cancelled this year, I guess because of these crazy and historical times we are living in. And Bryant Park Holiday Market is open this year, though Columbus Circle Holiday Market is cancelled, yet the Union Square Greenmarket, Farmers Market is open on this day as I attempt to display those Black Lives Matter banners and vend those Black Lives Matter, S#!t Just Got Real, Not My President, Occupy Wall Street, No Police State, Yoga, Brooklyn, Union Square Park and I Love New York necklaces, magnets, key chains and pins for $2 each at Union Square Park this past weekend.  And what the logic of these panicdemic restrictions are, I am not exactly sure, as one of those photos posted above has a sign in it that says "Stay home, stop the spread", right next to a sign that says "Come out to the market"  @grownyc. And these photos and videos that find themselves posted above are what a canceled Union Square Holiday Market looks like, or at least part of what a cancelled Union Square Holiday Market looks like on a Union Square Farmers Market day.  Have a great New York City holiday day and more, if possible, during these crazy and historical times we are living in.
