The Union Square Holiday Market offers a unique way to combine festive cheer with a culinary adventure.

With its vibrant mix of food vendors, visitors can craft a progressive meal as they explore, starting with savory appetizers and ending with indulgent desserts. This year’s lineup promises a feast for the senses, making it a standout destination for food enthusiasts and holiday shoppers alike.

Begin your culinary adventure at Birria Les with their rich, slow-cooked birria tacos and a side of consommé, a perfect appetizer to kick off your evening. For the main course, indulge in Cheese Wheel Pasta, where creamy pasta is served fresh from a bubbling parmesan wheel.

For dessert, warm up with Colombian hot chocolate paired with traditional cheese bread or end on a decadent note with a handcrafted chocolate truffle from Chocolate on Top. The pure, rich flavors will leave your taste buds singing holiday carols.

And after your meal, don’t rush home. Wander the market’s aisles, browse handcrafted goods, or pick up some unique gifts while supporting local artisans from more than 150 vendors. Finish the night with a stroll under the festive lights, soaking in the holiday cheer that makes this market a timeless New York City tradition.

The Union Square Holiday Market is open daily through Christmas Eve.
