The Christmas Markets of Northern Germany
Germany has some of the best Christmas markets (Weihnachtsmärkte) in the world, running from the end of November until Christmas and sometimes longer. Here are two of the best.
Markets
Sarona Market, Tel Aviv
This restored historical complex is now a residential oasis with a culinary focus.
Torvehallerne in Copenhagen
Housed within two glass warehouse buildings designed by architect Hans Peter Hagens, Torvehallerne is Copenhagen’s most popular public market and the city’s first central food hall.
Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten
High flavour, haute flare.
On a high shelf spanning the entire length of a wall in the meeting room at Jean-Georges Management, which overlooks the bustling, teeming Prince Street in New York’s SoHo neighbourhood, are toasters. Two dozen, perhaps, dating from the 1920s to the 1950s. The chef looks at them and says, “There is nothing better than toast in the morning. A little butter, some marmalade—perfect.”
