Steps from Central Park's southwest gate, Broadway between 60th and 61st fills with vendor tents for a compact Sunday fair. It's an easy add-on to a Columbus Circle day — graze the food stalls, browse the tables, then carry it into the park or down to the shops. Free and rain-or-shine, it's the low-commitment version of the New York street-fair ritual at one of the city's busiest crossroads.

What to expect

A single tented block of food and merchandise vendors — quick bites, jewelry, accessories — dropped into one of Manhattan's busiest intersections. It's small, so most people fold it into a Central Park or Columbus Circle outing rather than making a special trip.

Good to know

  • 10am–6pm, rain or shine
  • It's one block — treat it as a stop on a Central Park or Columbus Circle day, not a destination
  • Some vendors are cash-only
  • The A, B, C, D, and 1 trains all stop at 59 St–Columbus Circle
