Are you longing for all the fun things you use to do around the Holidays? Walking around the city? Shopping at the Markets in Bryant Park and Grand Central? Well, the ladies at 914PopUp’s partnered with The City Of White Plains, in conjunction with the event’s sponsor, White Plains BID, and opened an incredible outdoor, safe, socially distanced Holiday Market with 40+ vendors and so many unique finds. It is the first one like it in all of Westchester County. I decided to drive over last night and walk around the many stalls. It was such a fun time. I loved all of the vendors. There were some really pretty jewelry pieces. I fell in love with a multi-strand garnet necklace from the Italian brand Fego Gioielli. I bought the cutest little faux shopping tote with a fun designer logo from Roadie Couture..They also had some very cool jackets and sweatshirts!! One of my all-time favorites, Soxfords was there and my friend grabbed a bunch of whimsical socks for her college-aged son. We sampled some delicious Vegan chocolate and the most incredible Rum Cakes. I brought a raspberry one home for my husband. We met a vendor who has an extensive farm in Rockland and specializes in Hard Cider. I may or may not have bought a bottle for my husband’s stocking!! There were some really pretty Christmas cookies and OMG!! Pax Romana, was selling the freshest homemade pasta and tomato sauce. I also added a jar of their dipping oil to my bag. Melissa, of 914PopUps told me I need to get the Vodka sauce next time!!!! There was an entire area, Maker’s Central, devoted to homemade items, from bowls to soaps, to the prettiest wreaths, it was really interesting. You could also buy your Christmas Tree and Garlands there too..One of my favorite things were the beautiful velvet mules from the company Saachi. They also had beautiful bubble sleeve cardigans. I was so mad that I left without either of those terrific items!!
The market is opened until Sunday, December 13th. The hours are 11-7. It is located in the blocked off Waller Ave in the heart of White Plains. And the best part there is plenty of parking!!!
Hope to see you there this weekend!!!
