Turnstyle Underground Market

Unclaimed

A delightful underground surprise at 59th Columbus St subway station open till 7pm. Over 20 shops, primarily food (snacks and meal types) with multiple cuisines from Asia, Mediterranean, South America etc. but also barber shops, gardening, clothing and collectibles/accessories. Prices are decent Good place to grab a quick bite, both sweet and savory. They do have some common shops like Frankie's but most shops are unique.

I can’t tell you how happy I am that we stumbled upon this little gem of a place. We had just biked a lot through Central Park and were exhausted. Being first time tourists and not fully comprehending how massive Central Park is. We were starving and heading down to the subway from Columbus Circle to go back to our hotel when we ended up in the underground market. This place is clean, bright and has a similar vibe and feel as some parts of Chelsea Market. We got some mini doughnuts which were really good and some freshly made dumplings which were fantastic. Even though we stumbled upon this place, I’d purposely come back if I was in the area. Cool fun place to find.

Sonam was a great help in choosing my jewellery. She was patient, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience enjoyable. Thank you for your excellent service!

Very cool place. Great variety of places to eat and shop underground and convenient to trains. Ate at Hungry Panda. Very good!!

It has been a few years since my commute has taken me this way, but when a coworker offered samples they had found, I went back and grabbed a reasonably priced dinner. A few storefronts are changing over, others have moved. But the vibe is still there to offer the commuter and the shopper something quick and on the go. Worth another visit. No fare is required to enter unless, of course, you are taking the subway but all the stores are before those turnstyles.
