Selden Market
2023 Sep 13
Selden Market is a cute concept and it goes through iterations where it's fabulous and times where walking through is kind'a boring.

Sometimes it's loaded with goodies and new vendors and cool items - but there is a lot of turnover here.

It's a space where a vendor can rent a small shop to sell their wares and dip their toes into business ownership.

There are some anchor stores and restaurants at each end - and the lobby connects to the nice Hilton on the Main lobby so you can use the restroom and grab something in there too.

At Christmastime this is a fun place to be where most of the local shops and stores do a hot chocolate contest and there is a parade and some other cute things are going on.

It is worth a visit but typically I'd wait until there is an event bc on recent weekdays or random weekends, it's been bland when I've walked through.

This classy store was a surprise!

I was nearby getting my hair done and walked inside to take a look and see what was inside.

This shop has loads of cool gifts and homewares as well as shoes and higher-end clothing.

I saw some very unique items inside and spent a nice hour browsing and trying on clothing.

This is a large store with a huge amount of inventory and beautiful interior with beautiful dressing rooms.

I stopped in and tried on a few items last week during the semi-annual sale and found staff to be friendly and helpful when asked questions about sizes and inventory as well as getting the dressing room set aside for me.

Some of the other stores in NYC are smaller and don't carry as many menswear or all the current line but this store had almost everything I saw on the website inside.

Specifically came to Soho to look at art while in town and found some wonderfully inventive art inside Lumas.

Staff were helpful and they had a 20% off sale going on so we found a very interesting Batman/superhero series and purchased a piece to add to our bar area.

They have custom framing downstairs and a few more pieces but this gallery has some really interested and inspired art inside and is definitely worth the browse if you are nearby.

Nice website with everything available as well.
