What a great find on 116th! It's a small African market in Harlem away from 125th trendy vendors. These booths have way more African imported varieties. Beware, though. Vendors are desperate to sell, so at times, they may not tell you the truth about the origins of where things come from. They definitely make up stories because I know for fact. Some of the things they said we're hand-made or from particular places were not. I am sure too they base their prices off of what you look like and what you're wearing. Don't take your 1st bargain from your 1st booth work your way through because the ones at the end will be much better price points and as you come back through people are willing to come down and haggle. Sometimes, the asking price that I was given was just outrageous. I definitely spent a bit of money here and got several things that I took back to los angeles as gifts. I will definitely return every time I go to New York to this area. It's kind of hidden, so I highly suggest you check it out. Example booth 1 a bracelet asking price $10. Booth at other end same exact bracelet $5. So be prepared to negotiate with patience, lol.

I went with my sister to this market to buy a Afrocentric outfit to wear to the Juneteenth Celebration at Carnegie Hall. I picked up this beautiful 2 pice skirt and top. I love it and I got a lot of compliments on my outfit. Fits nice and the price nice also. I paided $25 no tax. The nice lady sells short skirts for $20 long skirts for $25 and suits for $25. The nice ladies booth is the last one on the left hand side before you go to the back of the market. I will definitely be returning and posting her name and booth number. Very happy Customer 😊

I've always found great items here: clothing, beauty goods, jewelry, etc. My husband wanted to find authentic clothing from African countries, so we knew we had to visit. It is possible to bargain with the sellers. Most will give a slight discount with the more you purchase. Some sellers use Square and take credit cards, but most operate under a cash only system. An ATM is available in the market, but the fee is on the high side. Be prepared and come with plenty of cash.

So. Many. Different. Pieces!!!!! African heritage is at every turn and it is absolutely beautiful. There are stands upon stands of costume jewelry (cheapest is $5), african skincare products, dashikis and many more! It was weird because i was strolling by and noticed it for the first time. If you are not paying attention then you will miss it and that would be a shame. Very nice people peddle their wares here. Make sure to bring cash.

Great place for african print dresses, skirts, and shirts for women, men, and children. Some of the shops can even make something for you with the fabric. My husband and I got some nice outfits for a African party we are going to where we needed cultural clothing. It was truly a one stop shop. Even picked up some shea butter and black soap. Very convenient.
