New York City is known for some of the coolest pop-up shops and flea markets all throughout the year, these are by far my favorite. One of the things I love the most is the unique vendors from all around the world. It's not your same old crafts and flea market stuff. Much of the goods come from artisan vendors who are selling and promoting their hard work.
Since Brooklyn has become the hot spot for srtisan folks over the years, you'll find more options to shop.
1) Holiday Shops at Bryant Park - (between 40th-42nd streets and 5th-6th avenues) this is part of the bigger Winter Village that includes a Christmas tree and Ice Skating. Open through Jan. 4; 11 a.m.-8 p.m. Mondays-Fridays, 10 a.m.-9 p.m. Saturdays, 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Sundays

2) Winter Flea + Holiday Market (1000 Dean St., Crown Heights): The Brooklyn Flea heads inside for the winter, spread out over 30,000 square feet of warehouse space to host more than 100 vendors. Highlights include an abundance of food vendors, Christmas trees (on sale starting Dec. 1); silent holiday movies on loop; and an eclectic array of vendors selling antique and salvage furniture, clothing, books, records, hand-crated items and and more.
