A Sunday Market Trades in Other People's Coats
Grand Bazaar NYC fills its Sunday market with curated vintage clothing and autumn layers, alongside handmade work from local makers.

👜 What's on the Tables
The autumn edition leans into outerwear and layering pieces, which is when a vintage market earns its keep. Dealers bring curated rails rather than bins, and the sorting has been done before you arrive. Bags, jewellery and small objects fill the gaps between the clothing rails, and those tables move fastest. Makers selling new handmade work sit alongside the vintage dealers rather than in a separate section at the back.
🍂 How Sundays Run
You arrive to find the stalls already set out across the schoolyard and the indoor rooms. Dealers open at ten, and the early hour is when the outerwear gets picked over. Prices are negotiable at most tables, more so after lunch. Bring cash. Not every dealer takes cards, and the queue for the one who does runs long. The market returns every Sunday with a different seasonal theme.
📍 Getting There
The market runs on Sunday, September 20 at 100 West 77th Street on the Upper West Side, a short walk from the 79th Street stop on the 1. Admission is free. Proceeds go to four local public schools, which is the reason the market exists at all. It fits people who want to dig through real vintage with time to spare, rather than a curated boutique rail at boutique prices.
