*This is a paid partnership with The NYC Garment District
For tourists, it’s actually pretty easy to not miss The Garment District because it’s very close to Times Square. It’s located in the heart of Midtown Manhattan and is bordered by 42nd Street and 34th Street to the north and south, 5th Avenue and 9th Avenue to the east and west. You can honestly spend a whole day around this area because there is so much to do including visiting the UrbanSpace Garment District Food Market, taking photos and eating at the Garment District Urban Garden and of course spending the evening at one of the amazing rooftops bars or restaurants nearby.
If you are here for the summer, then you have to visit the UrbanSpace Garment District which is a foodie’s dream come true. There are many vendors in this food market including some of my favorites: Destination Dumplings, Melt Ice Cream Sandwiches, etc. You can check out the full list of vendors and market dates here. It’s a great way to try different foods and enjoy the sun because there is outdoor seating. Feel free to shop around as there are many retail stores and even Macy’s nearby.
Once you feel somewhat exhausted and want to unwind, I would highly suggest going to one of the rooftop bars to get a great view of the city during sunset and of course enjoy some drinks and bites.
For those visiting NYC, let me know if you end up visiting the Garment District or if you have any questions! And for locals, let me know if you’ve ever done any of these activities at the Garment District!

The floor mural is hard to miss! I always love walking through markets to see the different vendors. Plus, it’s usually cheaper than sitting down at a restaurant ;P I love how NYC really makes the most of its urban space and goes beyond what’s practical to really make it an experience. // Ahh yesss I’ve seen both Wicked and The Lion King! This summer I also watched Dear Evan Hansen and Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, both of which I loved. One of my favourite Broadway shows is Matilda. -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey’s
Oh myyyyy, I am dying to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. I think I will make it my goal to watch it by end of year and during the fall when all the tourists leave haha. And yes I’ve actually seen Matilda too and it’s such a fun musical!
Ahh, the Garment District! As a NYC resident for my entire life, I can easily relate to you on many levels of this post. There are so many places in the city that I am still to discover, so many restaurants on my list, and so many streets to walk down. Compared to some cities, NYC may look small, but from deep down in it’s heart, it’s still towering and booming on. I hadn’t been to the Garment District since I started taking precollege courses at FIT last year. I think when someone things of this area, they think Fashion! Which is undoubtedly true, but as you mentioned, the food in this area is great and there are so many local, trendy, and organic restaurants to be found. The pictures of you in the restaurant/bar are beautiful!

Yayyyy another fellow native New Yorker! I love hearing that because I think you would only know about The Garment District if you stumble across it, if you live/ work around it and of course if you’re a New York resident. You should definitely check it out now especially since there’s so much fun things happening in the summer there!
Love that floor art! We live part-time in NYC and love the Garment District’s history (and future). Thanks for linking up with Visible Monday.

You definitely bring up a good point! I think there’s a lot of great things ins tore for The Garment District and I can’t wait to see what else they come up with for the future 🙂
Mariann, such a great post! I love the garment district! And if you ever get the opportunity to shop in the wholesale stores, I highly recommend it! It is so much fun. Most of them, you do need a business license with you in order to by anything but there are a few that you do not and they just have minimum purchase amounts, some as low as $50. Or if you catch their clear out sales where they are getting rid of samples or singles, they usually open those to the public as well and you can score some pretty amazing pieces for as low as a few dollars! If you are a shopper like me, you could spend two wholes days browsing the garment district!

I’ve actually been to the wholesale markets! And yes you’re right, most of the time you do need your license but there are stores that will allow you to shop even if you don’t have it. I’m so glad to hear that you’re a shopper and love browsing at The Garment District!
I definitely would love to see the floor mural in person! Thanks for sharing all these great spots!

You look very beautiful on the rooftop deck. This is an excellent post about the garment Center. I am well acquainted with it, as I used to work there for many years. You did a great job highlighting all of the special places. I hope you’re having a great week so far.
