Shopping

New York City shopping is a competitive sport. You can spend thousands for a pair of shoes or - if you know where to look and have the right size foot - pick up the same pair for $50. New York is known for the high-end Madison and 5th Avenue boutiques as well as its famous department stores like Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale's, Bergdorf Goodman, Macy's, Henri Bendel and Barney's.

For all the luxury that resides in the windows, shelves and clothing racks of New York's finest stores, there is an equal supply of top-notch bargains. Daffy's stores are located all around the city and offer designer clothing at very low prices. Century 21 (often called "New York's best kept secret") near Wall Street has deals on designer fashions and best trends in shoes, bags, clothes and more. DSW, Filene's Basement, H&M and Loehmann's also have a following among bargain-hunters.

For bargain shoppers who enjoy the thrill of a fashion scavenger hunt, there is the wave of sample sales for major designers and boutiques in the summer months. Also for this deal-driven bunch are the flea markets and vintage shops scattered throughout the city. New York City is one place with a full array of shopping scenes, whatever your pleasure, you'll find it in Manhattan - and if you're lucky, you'll find it for half off.
