The 3rd Annual Brooklyn Navy Yard Holiday Market is here, and like many things in 2020, it’s online.
That’s totally okay, if you ask us. Not only does online shopping eliminate crowds, but it also allows the Navy Yard to promote and showcase more of its tenants than ever before.
From home goods and hip crafts to clothing, jewelry and more, everything you see is “Made at the Yard,” home to 450+ businesses employing 11,000+ people and generating over $2.5 billion per year in economic impact for New York City. During the pandemic, many of the businesses have shifted their production lines to personal protective equipment (PPE), now available at the virtual holiday market.
We also spotted some city-slick wine sets from our neighbors at Rooftop Reds along with other hyperlocal food and drinks.
“The Holiday Market provides a moment to escape these stressful times and to support local makers and manufacturers, the backbone of our economy,” David Ehenberg, President and CEO of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, told Bklyner.
