The Market NYC
By Alexis M. Perlmutter
This converted church gymnasium is the center for all of the up-and-coming young designers in New York City. Open on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 A.M. – 7 P.M., this craft fair is the location to see the anticipated fashions in jewelry, bags, accessories, and apparel. The principal appeal is the wholesale prices you will find as many of these designers are just looking to get their names circulating. Plus there is the tremendous satisfaction of supporting a local designer who makes the products you are seeing as she sits behind her display table. Better yet, the jewelry and purses in particular are so unusual and creative that you are bound to get comments everywhere you go, for you probably won’t find similar handiwork around. As for clothing, many of the designs have an Urban Outfitters/vintage appeal, but most of the time they only cost a fraction of the price and are available seasons before they will be mass-produced. A win-win situation, this place is definitely worth a look, even if you don’t buy something every time.
