I haven't been there this year or last, but they always had very nice vendors other years. The light show is the cheesiest thing I've ever seen, but the market was always nice.
The one in Union Square looks fantastic too. I passed through quickly the other night and would love to go back and shop.

They have diverse vendors who make their own jewelry, hats, and clothing and those who sell satndard scarves and such.
Union Square has many more kiosks with many more choices plus the kinetic energy that is Union Square.

Yes, I've bought some nice quality handmade holiday gifts at both markets over the years. Some stuff is the usual junk, but the preponderance of items are unique, quality crafts, jewelry, clothing, artworks, etc. Well worth checking out, IMHO.

I've purchased some very nice handmade things there - some jewelry and Christmas ornaments. Don't think I've ever seen a fake Christmas wreath.
I agree that Bryant Park is also well worth checking out, and I'm putting the Union Square one on my list for next time.
