new york city shopping
Shopping in New York city is an absolute must and is many a reason for a short break to New York. In fact shopping in New York for Christmas presents often explains the large increase in cheap bargain holidays to New York from the UK in late October and November. For both range and quality New York city shopping scores highly from world famous department stores and designer boutiques to back-street shops offering cheap goods or quirky items. The vast range of food stuffs at markets and small stalls also matches range and quality. A particular favourite is the market in Grand Central Terminal as shown in the photo above where you are spoilt for choice for a wide range of basic and gourmet foodstuffs. New York city shopping can be readily divided into areas where particular types of stores can be found. For example for cheap goods and quirky items then just visit the areas around Tribeca making your way up towards Soho, Nolita and Greenwich village. Nolita has many small shops from up and coming designers while more established designers are intertwined throughout Soho alongside more mainstream stores. Greenwich village offers small boutiques and fashion stores for diverse music lovers including stores aimed at dance or gothic and metal influenced fashion. The village also has a wide selection of leather and shoe emporiums. When shopping in New York generally as you move uptown then the prices rise and more exclusive designer boutiques can be found.
