A Brooklyn neighborhood’s first “winter village” opened this weekend and quickly disappointed customers who had to pay a cover fee to get in, only to find a scattering of a few lackluster vendors.
The inaugural “Williamsburg Winter Village” at the BK Backyard Bar is a near carbon copy of the booming and free pop-up holiday markets in Bryant Park and Union Square — except the outer-borough version charges customers as much as $12 just to step inside and hosts far fewer sellers.
Each entry ticket — which costs $10 in cash, $11.50 online, or $12.39 by card — allows for three hours of shopping before the next wave of shoppers can cycle through, according to its website .
But holiday shoppers said there are simply too few things to see and do at the pop-up, which features just 17 vendors
