Submitted by Kelly O on
Shopping with kids in NYC doesn't have to be a chore. In fact, with all the awesome stores with cool interactive activities it can actually feel like fun. And during the summer, the city's many pop-up outdoor markets make for more destination family shopping. You get to enjoy the nice weather as you peruse a wide variety of locally made goods. Plus most markets are located in or near parks and playgrounds, so you can plan a day-long outing around them.
While most people already know about long-running markets like the Brooklyn Flea, there are three new ones this season you may not have heard of featuring eclectic eats, handmade wares and even special kids' activities. From a brand-new bigger location for an old Williamsburg favorite, to a fresh Long Island City flea to a new outdoor shopping spot at the South Street Seaport, here are three cool new NYC markets to hit with the kids.
