Along with being home to the best top talent and amenities, NYC also offers an incredibly robust pop-up market economy.

Throughout all the city’s boroughs you can find street fairs packed with artisans and vendors selling and making everything from food to vintage clothing. At these happenings you can enjoy fresh air, happy crowds, and support the local economy at the same time. Check out PopUp New York for a listing of events.
