Columbus Circle is a major New York landmark and attraction in the borough of Manhattan. It is the point from which all distances are officially measured from New York. The name is also used for the area a few blocks around the circular square in each direction.

Every year from the end of November until Christmas, the area is transformed into an impressive Christmas market. Columbus Circle Holiday Market offers a unique shopping and dining experience for locals and tourists alike. In its stands, in addition to Christmas items, you will find gifts, jewelry, clothes, accessories and a multitude of food options.

Columbus Circle Holiday Market is a favorite of locals and visitors alike. It has a European flair, and the aisles are full of over 100 artisans and designers selling their own unique wares, like special foods, handmade jewelry, art, home goods, and much more.

Come hungry, perhaps after a stroll through Central Park or an ice skating session at Wollman Rink, and enjoy everything from bureks to tacos to fancy doughnuts and bratwurst.
