Snow Covered Apples in a Wintery Market
Hello!
So, I took a little time off during the cold, post-holiday season. But now it’s February, and the markets are heating up for 2017, despite the snow and icicles outside. There are so many fabulous Valentine’s Markets this weekend for everyone to enjoy, whether you have a Valentine or you need to mend your broken heart.
Weekend Market Picks

There’s a cool market featuring locally made products, karaoke, live music, amazing local food purveyors, arcade games and more! 7PM – 11:30PM, 150 Greenpoint Avenue, Brooklyn, NY
Love Hurts, Valentine’s Day Pop Up: So maybe you don’t have a Valentine right now. That’s okay, and this market is for you.

If you miss the Morbid Anatomy Museum Flea Markets, this one could help with the longing. 12PM – 6PM, Cathedral Hall, 380 Montgomery Street, Jersey City, NJ
Vegan Valentine’s Day Shop-Up: Happy Valentine’s Day and Happy 7th Anniversary to the Vegan Shop-Up, New York’s premier vegan market.
