hidden gem in nyc ✨🫶

My friend and I are from NJ but whenever we’re in New York we always make a stop in K-Town

Recently, we saw a new “market” running and spotted multiple tents including tanghulu, cotton candy, gift shop, and other fun stuff!

We stopped at one tent (Hi Hi New York) and got to customize our own hair clips for ~$15, you can also DIY phone cases, tote bags, photo frames and can buy other cute souvenirs

K-town is super close to Penn Station/MSG (just a small walk away!) and the whole area has a lot of great food, shops, and activities
