What are the holidays all about, you're wondering? It's a good time of year to ponder such a question.
We can pretty much guarantee they're not about paper cups, that's for sure. So what is all this holiday cheer about? Spending money? Commercialism? Religion?
We'd have to argue contrary to all those ideas. We'd have to say the holiday season is about, principally, letting the people we love know how much we care.
There are plenty of ways to do that, of course. You could call someone on the phone to say hello. You could make a handmade photo album. Or, of course, you could buy a really thoughtful gift at one of New York City's varied holiday markets.
We hit you up with these holiday markets earlier this year. Now, we've got two more up our sleeves for you to visit this holiday season, and purchase thoughtful gifts for all your loved ones.
Or, screw it, you could buy gifts at these holiday markets for yourself. Buying gifts for yourself is important during the holiday season too, right?
Read on to find out about even more holiday markets you can shop at this holiday season in New York City.

This brand, spanking new holiday market is hitting the scene in NYC for the first time this year. It's basically making history. You want to be a part of history, right?
Located on Broadway between 39th Street and 41st Street, it features both local and international vendors with delicious food, piping hot drinks, and holiday gifts from artisans and designers.
Basically, it's another reason to hit the streets this holiday season and get even more gifts for all the people you love. It's yet another reason to get some hot apple cider to spike with whiskey (we didn't tell you that...).

ID POP SHOP is returning with full flavor this holiday season with 25 New York based, independent designers.
This holiday market will sell its wares from December 1st through December 21st in the Meatpacking District.
What will these designers be selling, you're wondering? Excellent question. They'll have a carefully curated selection of jewelry, apparel, skincare, accessories, and art.

They'll have a different selection of gifts available from week to week, so you can keep coming back again and again if you didn't find the right gift for your special person the first time around.
