Mere steps away from Fordham Lincoln Center’s campus, Columbus Circle’s Annual Holiday Market returned this year on Dec. 3. Hundreds of vendors gather each December to sell hot drinks, food and a large variety of hand crafted items for buyers. Ranging from roasted duck and dumplings, to Turkish baklava, and even the flare of the cheese wheel pasta, the market offers a diverse selection of cultural delicacies that visitors can enjoy.
Although the market draws fewer visitors than its counterparts in Bryant Park and Union Square, many unique vendors have shops only here at Columbus Circle. Dora Neiden, the craftsman behind vendor Ardrahan Metals, said that Columbus Circle is often where first-time holiday market vendors are placed due to its smaller size.
The last day to visit the iconic holiday market is Dec. 31.
