More about this place
Columbus Circle Holiday Market is an open-air seasonal village at Central Park’s southwest corner, pairing artisan gifts and winter food stalls with an easy park or Lincoln Center day. Browse in short loops, warm up inside the adjacent shops when needed, and treat the market as a flexible stop rather than a fixed meal reservation.
Vendor mix, operating hours, and exact opening dates change each year. The plaza becomes congested after dark and on December weekends, while weekday afternoons offer more room to browse.

Original curator notes · check current details.
If you are also planning a Central Park walk, use the market as the transition back into Midtown. That makes the compact stalls a useful pause rather than a separate journey across the city.
