"Being an entrepreneur isn't easy. I kind of enjoy this, Manaid, an Astoria resident, said of her pop-up store at the Union Square market, run by Urbanspace. Even if you're freezing in the winter, there's the interaction with people, sharing products. And for me too, it's kind of like an introduction to Filipino cultures to people who don't know anything about it."
"Columbus Circle and Union Square have up to around 200 vendors, with tourists and local shoppers stopping by at a network of outdoor markets. I live here in Hell's Kitchen, said Dani Mattar who stopped to shop (and buy) at the Columbus Circle holiday market. We were just going on our coffee walk and this is our first stop and we absolutely love everything that we see,"
Paulo Manaid, owner of Hatzumomo LLC, sells hand-woven clothing and Filipino Christmas ornaments online and at the Union Square Holiday Market. Manaid operates a pop-up at Union Square run by Urbanspace and values customer interaction, product sharing, and introducing Filipino culture to new audiences despite winter cold. Outdoor holiday markets have grown post-COVID as avenues for local entrepreneurs and small businesses to reach locals and tourists. Columbus Circle and Union Square host up to around 200 vendors each, attracting tourists and neighborhood shoppers. Shoppers enjoy the emotional connection and enthusiasm of meeting craftspeople and artists while making holiday purchases.
