Grand Bazaar NYC turns its Columbus Avenue market over to the cozy season: candles, ceramics, knit and woven textiles, artisan accessories and handmade home goods, sold by the makers themselves. Its donations support more than 2,000 local public school kids, so your shopping does some good. If you want an early start on holiday gifts, or just a new mug for fall, this is the weekend's easiest Upper West Side browse.
What to expect
Expect rows of independent vendor stalls split between the outdoor yard and an indoor space, focused on home goods, textiles, candles, ceramics and small accessories. Most sellers made what they sell, so you can ask about materials and process as you browse. It pairs easily with a walk through Central Park or a visit to the American Museum of Natural History across the street.
