Holiday season is here and as you look for gifts for friends and loved ones, we encourage you to consider supporting small businesses in NYC! Plus, make it an adventure: sail with NYC Ferry to discover the unique, local businesses around the city. To celebrate all the hidden treasures near every ferry landing, our team put together a list of some of our favorite shops separated by category: Stationary & Small Gifts, Clothing & Accessories and Books, Music & More.

These local businesses offer one-of-a-kind gifts and experiences, perfect for those looking to shop small and support the community. So hop on board, and let the ferry guide you to NYC’s best independent shops and markets this holiday season. 🎁
