Happy Happy Holidays! To the lucky people who still get to go out and enjoy holiday shopping in the markets, here are the ones that are open through Saturday – and don’t forget the Union Square Greenmarket for great gifts too!  Several of the markets are open next week and beyond, when it is fully acceptable [...]]]> http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2011/12/markets-open-saturday-and-beyond/feed/ 0 http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2011/07/photo-of-the-day-july-14-2011-baby-seal-by-belle-ami-crochet/ http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2011/07/photo-of-the-day-july-14-2011-baby-seal-by-belle-ami-crochet/#comments Thu, 14 Jul 2011 05:00:39 +0000 Karen Seiger http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/?p=5548
Can you even believe the cuteness? This adorable, shiny-eyed baby seal is hand-crocheted by Mary Grabenstatter of Belle Ami Crochet was just one character in the parade of cuteness on her table at the Astoria Market last weekend.]]> http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2011/07/photo-of-the-day-july-14-2011-baby-seal-by-belle-ami-crochet/feed/ 0 http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2011/01/images-from-a-snowy-day-at-the-union-square-greenmarket/ http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2011/01/images-from-a-snowy-day-at-the-union-square-greenmarket/#comments Wed, 26 Jan 2011 16:41:08 +0000 Karen Seiger http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/?p=4226
Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloomy days stays our farmers from the Union Square Greenmarket!  The snow has been falling like popcorn since last night, turning into slush when it lands.  And our farmers and local food purveyors are out there today, selling cold but tasty baked goods, apples, pretzels, squashes and more.  [...]]]> http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2011/01/images-from-a-snowy-day-at-the-union-square-greenmarket/feed/ 1 http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2010/09/the-maker-faire-comes-to-new-york-city/ http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2010/09/the-maker-faire-comes-to-new-york-city/#comments Sun, 26 Sep 2010 04:05:32 +0000 Karen Seiger http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/?p=3301
I spent the afternoon at the Maker Faire on the grounds of the New York Hall of Science in Queens on Saturday.  It had a great vibe, sort of a mix of a county fair, art market, Renn Fest, Comic Con, inventor fair, and Martha Stewart all rolled up into to one event.  I saw [...]]]> http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2010/09/the-maker-faire-comes-to-new-york-city/feed/ 0 http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2010/03/markets-of-new-york-city-guidebook-launching-at-the-brooklyn-lyceums-spring-market/ http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2010/03/markets-of-new-york-city-guidebook-launching-at-the-brooklyn-lyceums-spring-market/#comments Mon, 22 Mar 2010 02:04:32 +0000 Karen Seiger http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/?p=829

I have taken thousands of photos of the artisan, farmer, food and flea markets around the city.  So I thought I’d share them with you, once a day, every day.  The supermodels of market photography are French fishermen (at the seafood market in Marseille), and eggs.  These beauties are Araucanian eggs from Berkshire Berries, taken [...]]]> http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2010/02/photo-of-the-day-february-22-2010/feed/ 0 http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2010/02/looks-like-a-colorful-spring-is-headed-our-way/ http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2010/02/looks-like-a-colorful-spring-is-headed-our-way/#comments Sat, 20 Feb 2010 05:00:21 +0000 Karen Seiger http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/?p=455
I wanted to let you know about a few of the wonderful things I found at last weekend’s Brooklyn Indie Market and NewNew Spring Fling.  If this event is any indication, and I believe it is, it looks like we’re in for a lot of warm colors and flattering clothing designs for the spring and [...]]]> http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2010/02/looks-like-a-colorful-spring-is-headed-our-way/feed/ 0 http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2010/02/filming-at-arthur-avenue-retail-market-for-in-your-business/ http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2010/02/filming-at-arthur-avenue-retail-market-for-in-your-business/#comments Tue, 16 Feb 2010 23:53:54 +0000 Karen Seiger http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/?p=431

In Search of Vintage Valentines There’s something so lovely and nostalgic about the vintage Valentine’s Day Cards.  They evoke a sense of nostalgia for when we were little kids giving Valentines to everyone in our class, or memories of the simple sentiment on a Valentine from a secret crush. I went looking for vintage Valentines at the [...]]]> http://www.marketsofnewyork.com/2010/02/in-search-of-vintage-valentines/feed/ 0
