What is Time Out Market?
Here’s the idea: we pick out the best chefs, bartenders and cultural goings-on from across the city. Then we bring them all together under one roof to create an IRL tasting menu of the very best stuff in town.

We started with Time Out Market Lisbon in 2014, and since then we’ve opened in ten other cities. And now Time Out Market has landed right here in Union Square! Our second Market in New York, this is the first time we've had two locations in the same city.

Where is Time Out Market Union Square located?
You’ll find Time Out Market Union Square in one of Manhattan’s most iconic neighborhoods, just steps from Union Square Park. Surrounded by shops, bars, theaters, and NYC’s busiest transit hub, Union Square is a vibrant gathering place for locals, students, and visitors alike.

The Market is conveniently located on East 14th Street between 3rd and 4th Avenues—right above the Union Square–14th Street subway station and just a short walk from NYU, the Strand Bookstore, and the city’s famous Greenmarket.
