It’s that time of year again to spend your weekends strolling various outdoor markets and fleas in NYC for eclectic treasures. And Grand Bazaar NYC, the city’s largest and oldest weekly market, is a must-visit stop to add to your list.
100+ independent antique/vintage dealers, artists, designers, craft-makers, and artisanal food purveyors gather each Sunday on the Upper West Side (100 West 77th Street) to sell everything from leather goods and pottery to jewelry and rare collectables.
The market occurs every Sunday from 10 am – 5 pm, year-round.
What makes this curated market so unique is that it has both an outdoor and indoor section. So once you’ve perused all of the outside vendors, you still have more to explore inside! Vendors are selected on a weekly basis, contingent on the market’s weekly theme, quality, and rarity of their products.
Vendor highlights include:
- Jason Murillo Millinery: one-of-a-kind handmade hats
- Lazy Sundays Home: designer vintage home décor
- Atsuko Watanabe: ceramics
- Basket Case NW: hand-sewn baskets
- Really Bad Portraits: quirky self portraits
- Silk Road Spaceship: slow fashion
With so much variety, it’s no wonder the Grand Bazaar NYC is a fan-favorite market–it sees an annual foot traffic of 500,000 New Yorkers.
And if you’re having shoppers guilt, Grand Bazaar NYC will clear your conscious. The market was originally created to help support public schools on the Upper West Side, including: PS 87, The Computer School, PS 334, and M.S. M247 Dual Language Middle School.
That means 100% of net profits from every vendor’s booth rental goes towards helping more than 2,000 public school children.
Once you’re shopping fatigued, fuel up at the market’s full food court, which features a wide variety of independent food purveyors. Previously offered food items include bao, tanghulu, samosas, kimchi rice, cookies, and more.
