New York, NY — One of the unsurpassed advantages of living in Manhattan (or any of the boroughs) is that we live in a true walking city. It is impossible to live here without passing by some type of marketplace on your daily travels. The open-air markets for art, food, and general merchandise are the heart of innovation in the city these days. You can actually eat locally grown foods and buy products directly from the people who make them in the markets, cutting out the middleman. But where are the best markets and how can we find them? Meet Karen Seiger, a self-proclaimed market enthusiast and author of Markets of New York City: A Guide to the Best Artisan, Farmer, Food, and Flea Markets. Ms. Seiger has a knack for finding the ideal market to cater to your interests, whether you are seeking art, clothing, books or bric-a-brac. In fact, she will be doing market tours throughout the holidays, so you can find that perfect, one-of-a-kind gem of a gift for yourself or a loved one.
Markets of New York City is available for purchase online on Amazon.com, directly from the publisher, or at bookstores and Anthropologie stores worldwide.
