The Holiday Market Shopping Experience

About this episode

Devin and Andy explore the holiday market in Union Square, discussing the nuances of market experiences and vendor interactions.

Devin and Andy visit the holiday market in Union Square. Is bigger always better with holiday markets? Does a good market experience mean finding that one vendor you really like, or an overall vibe that you’re into? What is your personal ranking of: Holiday Markets, Street Fairs, and Farmer’s Markets? Are we at peak ornament? Are booths selling old novels that have been turned into clocks part of some larger plan to take books out of circulation? Can skullcap really help us get back to sleep??
