I had no idea this place existed until I had to take my train from this station the other day . I was like what's going on here , am I at the right spot . I was on my way home but ended up staying here for hours . Brilliant way to sell some goodies & attract people from their busy crazy life . I tried a slice of cheese pizza from a new pizza place . Then got some sushi for dinner & saw the boba place & had to get a brown boba milk tea . Was gonna go home but ended up spending a lot but had a blast by myself just walking around . All the store had some cute stuff , especially the jewelry, the yummy food . People were so kind , friendly . read more

This was the most unattractive food hall I can imagine. If you enjoy eating in NYC subway, warm not much AC. Maybe the food was good but so unappealing read more

Honestly, I was expecting a lot more, but I guess that's unfair because what the hell did I know? Anyway, they have a few stores, but mostly restaurants that have limited seating right outside each joint. Nevertheless, it was a cute concept. I ended up getting mini donuts from a place called Donuttery and they were OK. read more

You don't need to pay a subway fare to come here. Although there are some restaurants that I want to check out, I'm usually only through here to get out of the cold weather or to avoid foot traffic up on the street level. It is very conveniently connected to the Columbus Circle subway station. read more

Small little food court and mini mall area located in the hot stuffy underground between entrances to the A, C, B, D, and 1 subway trains. The concept is ok, and it's a way to pick up some things during your travels. With options to shop, eat, and drink it would be much better if it wasn't always hot and sweaty down here. Every time I've tried to grab a bite here before jumping on a train the experience is dampened by the swampiness of the air. Install AC units somehow! It's still basically a subway tunnel to the platforms. We all know how warm they get. Also, during a recent visit it seemed most of the stores are still closed due to the pandemic, and that was middle of the afternoon. read more

I walked this spot as i wanted a quick snack before heading towards the train. Many places were closed which was a bit upsetting. I did spot s small booth of brownies being sold. The owner was very knowledgeable on her product and the brownies looked really good. Though they are small and a but pricey she was very proud of her product so i bought the espresso brownie for $6. They are half the size of the metro cards. The taste was really delicious as well though have to eat them in moderation due to the espresso. read more

This food hall is located in Columbus Circle. It came highly recommended by my friend who is local, so I wanted to check it out. It's much smaller than other food halls. It's convenient if you're in the area, but there's not very many vendors or many places to sit -- or even bathrooms located downstairs where the market is. If you need to use the bathroom, you're told to go upstairs into the CVS which is incredibly inconvenient. There should really be an available bathroom for diners; this is all the more true in a post-Covid world. There's about a dozen food vendors lining the corridor mixed with some shopping stalls. It's very easy to do a quick pass through to see all the offerings since they're all located down just one aisle. It's pretty cute. It's well decorated. I already had Bolivian Llama Party bookmarked, so that was great that it happened to be in this food hall that I also wanted to check out. It's definitely a hit, so don't miss out on trying their delicious bites. When we arrived, my husband couldn't wait to eat while I browsed the stalls to see all the food vendors, so he got a slice of pizza to start which was good, but not memorable. Seating is tough here. There's definitely not enough, but we thankfully did get a spot, but it was a tight fit, especially with a stroller. Seating is just in the center of the aisle in between the row of stalls. Have someone from your party snag a spot when they see one come available while someone one else waits for the food. If you're in the area, pop in, but I don't think this is worth a special trip out of your way to check out. read more

What a dope spot! A foodies dream food court- there were so many awesome food spots & shops, underground on the way to the subway... doesn't get much better than that! I think this is a place that not many people know about so it's not overly crowded like a lot of the other food halls. Unfortunately due to covid, there was a lot closed down but based on the website, there is more to be added soon! We stopped at a few different spots- we had dumplings, hot dogs, empanadas, boba tea & donuts. All were very delicious! Again, this is located underground by the subway so it's not shiny or new but it wasn't dirty looking either. We had a great time here and would recommend it to others! read more

If I had an old LP and one side was TSwift's "Style", I'd Turnstyle over and hope there was something infinitely better on the other side. If it was Shake It Off, I'd, well... Shake It Off. New York City now has a whole bunch of underground malls in food courts and this is one of the most bustling and exciting in the whole city, located beneath the craziness of Columbus Circle and one of my favourite little places to stop for a drink or Boba or some dessert. There's even good food down here too but I haven't tried any yet. read more

Turnstyle opened to great fanfare in April 2019 with the Mayor in attendance. After all an arcade with shops and eateries was a novelty in the Big Apple. I had visited several in Paris. I enjoyed going there whenever I was in that neighborhood. Sadly covid affected it badly. A visit recently was depressing as a lot of the stores were empty and the vibrancy of this once thriving arcade was gone. I always liked the dumpling shop but wondered how I could enjoy a plate of piping hot pork dumplings with the unappetizing aroma coming from a nearby restaurant which had pervaded the whole arcade. Thankfully I was wearing a mask. Would I need to hold my breadth? Gagging would be a possibility. A gentle clothespin would be ideal but if the dumpling store workers saw me they would get upset. I decided to go to Chinatown instead. If this arcade continues till the end of the year it would be a miracle. read more

Always fun coming to this underground tunnel full of little restaurants and shops. My favorites: the potato-and-mushroom dumpling spot and the dog store full of goodies for our babe. The whole place is clean, smells great, and has lunch/dinner/dessert options. And the best part? DOGS ALLOWED :) read more

Did not know what to expect when I entered in on this side of Columbus Circle! It is definitely a breath of "fresh" air seeing this in nyc. It reminded me a lot of the underground transit in Australia. There is a nice variety of food markets on this little strip as well as a few pop up shops that have anything between clothing and hair salons! I personally stopped by Doughnuttery which was pretty good! I got the $6 classic cinnamon sugar as well as apple cider coatings (3:3). Nice and fresh out of the little fyer! Such a good snack. Since I was on the go I'm be excited to go back to really look at what each store has to offer. read more

I love coming to the turnstile it's so productive when you're in Columbus circle and want to shop , eat and play. They have here all the fun shops like lush, Dylan's candy store, elf , Daa! Dumplings, chicken and cone , many sweets like Woops macaroons and these yummy rainbow cookies. They also have a nice vintage shop in here with jewelry , clothes and accessories. All the shops are on the same level right underground of the A, D , 1, & 2 trains. Also if you're on your way home and need liquor there's a nice wine shop as well. I love getting treats here for my dog at the dougnuttery. There's also a pet store with cute clothes! They also have these screens where u can take a selfie Ans send it to yourself or you can play short interactive games right on a digital screen. Regarding restrooms they're there but only available to the staff. read more

Many different shops from pastry's to paella. I bought a lemon tart but stuffed it into my face before the pic . I gave the steamed dumplings a thought then walked over to the bubble tea stand. I swear I meant to go back for dumplings! That darn tunnel vision (sweet tooth). Ordered the Nutella boba tea which was okay. You can take the subway escalator down, stairs or elevator. read more

If this underground marketplace was in Tokyo, I probably wouldn't have paid that much attention to it because they use every nook and cranny of their transit system to insert shops and eateries of all kinds. But since it's next to the 59th Street/Columbus Circle subway station, it's pretty darn cool since they built a hidden passageway that houses nearly fifty stands and kiosks serving everything from Venezuelan arepas to pop-up card art (photo: http://bit.ly/2Jq8oFt). Jamie W. and I only discovered this mall when we were navigationally challenged in searching for the mochi ice cream at Mochidoki (review: http://bit.ly/2Q7hd9u). We found it here and we didn't need to use our MetroCards to get in. Seating is at a premium, but that's part of the point. You're on the go-go-go.

Turnstyle Underground Market isn't new, it's been around for a couple of years. However as a New Yorker who doesn't take the train (for reasons not pertinent to this review) it has been on my radar, just in a peripheral aspect. The concept is great in a commuter city such as New York and was probably adopted from international cities who have demonstrated this market style to be successful. I'm sure it is an added reprieve for people dealing with the daily grind and hassle of the New York subway system. There are several shops located in the Turnstyle Market... food (Chicken n Cone, Daa! Dumplings and various others), sweet treats, clothing options and Lush cosmetics. There is also a wine shop and a store catering to treats for the furry friends in your life. I've been a couple times and there are a few things noticeable by the non-subway rider that is myself... 1. you are in the subway, 2. the heat bc you are in the subway, 3. food being prepared and served, you guessed it, in the subway.... No one remembers the infamous "Pizza Rat" and all his buddies? Nonetheless, if you are able to suspend your consciousness momentarily and let go of all the thoughts that may arise from being in the subway or any OCD tendencies that may be related to cleanliness... It is actually a pretty cool space and the Turnstyle employees and business operators do a good job with the up keep of said space. Just A Note: It is worth checking out at least once, even if you only window shop the various businesses. That's a vote from a Non-Subway Rider! read more

I go to this food court and retail shopping space by the subway station at Columbus Circle from time to time to see the variety of food places and shops. I had not been here for awhile and was happy to see several booths with fun jewelry and accessories. I got lucky and found a necklace that I love at the ByTeno cart in the middle of the shopping space. I bought a necklace with a gold heart and a letter inside the heart medallion. I was looking for a heart necklace, and this style was a perfect match. read more

There was a variety of food and I'm a fan of hidden gems and hole in the walls. However, we didn't get to experience all the stores due to us coming rather early and some of the shops were closed. However, they had a variety of options, from coffee, to dumplings, empanadas, and Korean corn dogs! They also had several shopping stores such as kpop, LUSH and a Japanese barber shop! My boyfriend got his hair cut while we explored LUSH. Everyone we encountered was friendly and we enjoyed ourselves under the depths of New York and Central Park read more

Pros: - great variety of food stalls + retail stores (sometimes they get swapped out / replaced by new ones so there's always something new to try) - good spot to just walk around, sit, shop, grab a bubble tea, wait for/hang out with a friend - there's something for everyone - pick up quality last-min gifts: plants, macarons, etc. - you can connect to the free MTA wifi - convenient location - literally inside the ABCD train station. Sometimes I get off the train and grab breakfast here on my way to work, or swing by to pick up lunch here - there's a fun digital photobooth - European/Asian vibes - love these kind of markets! Cons: - it SMELLS! It's tolerable for a bit but then the smell gets stuck to your hair and clothes, carrying it with you throughout the day... I try to go in and out as fast as possible (I usually know exactly what I'm going to pick up, and leave) - please fix the exhaust system! - a little on the pricier side. Protip: some stalls are on Ritual which will give you some credit on your first orders. Overall I feel like the pros outweigh the cons, especially since there's nothing really like it here in NY. read more

Sitting in Columbus Circle- 59th Street, MTA subway station is an underground indoor shops and food court which mimics Montréal, Canada's Underground City beneficial during the winter months. I remember when this strip of commercial retail space was readily available for rental dating earlier to 2009 of how it was very empty waiting to be occupied. Floors are clean as it does not have the dissolve the appearance of an MTA subway station. Heated during the winter and air conditioned climate controlled with minimal seating as interim on-the-go meal before you catch your train. Yes, another Starbucks open. Many of these food stalls are excessively overpriced and rather average. Hipsters shops are surfacing here. Note: no restroom facility is available. WiFi is available. read more

I think this underground mall is cool and adds to the spirit and charisma of Columbus circle. This place is definitely BY FAR better than smorgasborg in prospect park and Brooklyn market- BUT- beware! This place falls into the trap of commercialism. I did not check out their small non food shops as it did not interest me too much but most of the food shops are VERY VERY pricey. This place gives off the street eats feel of Hong Kong and Thailand- but the prices are definitely higher then a standard restaurant a few blocks over. I understand tho- rent and over head is costly so I need to acknowledge that. This place is definitely worth a gander as it is very nice to take that short walk to see the interesting sight of trendy shops next to a MTA station- but only if you are already in the area-I don't see a return ability or something I get out of my way to check out. Love it or dump it? Enjoy once and not return- aka one night read more

"I come from a land down under.." Wanna know something, I dig Turn-Style . When you transfer trains at 42nd st, they also have a few stores as well but the stores at Turn-Style are a little more hip. And fun! Doughnuttery, Fika, Meltcraft, Nutcraft and By Suzette are just a few vendors mentioning and I have tried their offerings. I wrote a review on VU Eyeware, I have a pair of eye glasses from the store they repaired for free! Amazing customer service I have to point out. If you're looking for something fun to do that doesn't cost anything, take a walk down the stairs and do some window shopping at Turn-Style. read more

Another cool food hall, this time the differentiator being that's it's underground. The vendors aren't as hip and trendy as some of the better markets that have opened recently, but there are some excellent spots, especially MeltKraft for grilled cheese and Fika for their chocolate truffles. The major problem so far is that several of the food vendors aren't actually open yet. Once Semsom, By Suzette, etc. are ready for business, things will improve here a lot in terms of food options. read more

We came. We saw. We left. Is it because it's so new and there are still kiosks yet to open? We visited and walked through and nothing really caught our eye. I was expecting a lot more food options than what were actually there. Having a food court in the underground next to the subway seemed like a cool concept, but the reality was a let-down. Maybe there will be more to come, but that more wasn't there when we were. read more

My review is for Baked in Color. I did not go to the store in person, because they are only open during the work week, I had my cookies ordered online. I saw this store on YouTube from Food Insider, and really wanted to try the cookies. So I ordered them online, had to wait a slow, slow, slow week for them, and they finally came in the mail. The way they were packed shocked me, it was completely protected by ice packs and wrappings to keep them as cool as possible on the way here, I can't believe how much time and care she put into packing them. After I got them unwrapped, I loved the way they tasted, not overwhelmingly sweet, just enough chocolate chips to satisfy your chocolate cravings, and they are even better with milk! I can't wait to order more! read more

Awesome underground market attached to the subway. They have great options for lunch, coffee, and shops to browse through. I enjoyed the Russian dumplings for lunch - favorite was the lamb/feta dumplings - so good! They have a variety of dumplings to choose from and you can pick up to 3 different kinds in one order. All dumplings served with a pickle and sour cream. And also enjoyed a hot tea after my lunch. Need to go back to try the other food options in the market. read more

I've been to my share of food halls in New York, but Turnstyle is unique in more than one way. It of course is underground and part of the 59th Street subway station (super convenient given that I pass through here daily). And it also is smaller than other food halls, but not in a bad way. While limited in options, there is definitely something for everyone. As an indecisive person, the hardest part was choosing where to get food, so I settled on a couple of dishes from two places. First was a salteña from Bolivian Llama Party. I got the Veggie Cliza, which was the vegetarian option filled with quinoa and mushrooms. I'd never tried anything like it before and was impressed. Then I also picked up a small tray of vegetable dumplings from Yong Kang Street, which were great. I was tempted to try their sushi because that looked pretty good, too. There was ample seating when I went. If the weather had been a bit cooler, I would've taken my food outside to eat across the street at Central Park. Only docking a star because it gets kind of warm and stuffy down there. One would think there would be air conditioning or fans at least in the market area, but not too surprising since it is built into the subway station. read more

The underground market is GREAT. I usually stop in for last minute gifts (they have a macaron stand, Papyrus, Pandora, a doggy goods shop, and quite a few other things). I also get my hair cut here, at QB which is a really terrific Japanese salon that offers $20 haircuts. Other points of interest: dumpling bar, cafe, bar, falafel place and wine store, among others. It's about 15 feet from the a/c/b/d train stop so well worth a look if you're coming or going from the area via the subway! read more

This is my latest discovery. It's a whole city under Columbus Circle I didn't even know existed!! There are a bunch of shops, food stands and a full bar, it is hoppin'.

But in reality, who realllllly cares about the service from an underground market? ...I guess me. There are tables and chairs to hang at and enjoy your food. It's pretty clean.
