Rain or shine...come one, come all!  Both the Columbus Circle and Union Square Holiday Markets are open today and all the merchants, artists and designers welcome you to visit them.

At Columbus Circle, warm up in our wonderful Gingerbread House and enjoy some hot cider and gingerbread from Breezy Hill Orchard & Cider Press.  Then visit Vicki whose Gingerbread Creations can be found in Booth C23.  Vicki has made beautifully decorated real gingerbread houses which, if stored properly, can grace your mantel or holiday table for years to come.  (Although, we suggest coming back next year and picking out a new design.)  Vicki also takes commissions and can create a replica of your own house.

At Union Square, you'll find gifts all wrapped and ready to go at Ben and Oliver in Booth E11.  Maria & Edgar of Ben and Oliver have developed a loyal following and lots of new products over the years at Union Square.  One of the favorites is their original Bath Blasters, fizzy bath bombs that soothe and revitalize you in the tub.  The larger ones are individually wrapped and an assortment of the smaller ones come packaged in charming egg cartons.  Hurry before they sell out!
