Visitors to the Big Apple will be blown away by the amount
and calibre of stores in this city. Offering some of the
best and most expensive shopping in the world, 5th Avenue is
synonymous with classy high-end department stores such as
Bergdorf's and Saks. Madison Avenue is known as 'the trendy
road' and this haute strip boasts 15 blocks of celebrity
designer shops such as Chanel, Jimmy Choo and Prada, to name
a few. Soho is one of New York's poshest outdoor malls where
cobblestone streets and loft-like spaces make the Soho a
prettier location for a spot of shopping than the average
mall.
As cosmopolitan as New York may be, visitors on a tighter
budget can still find plenty of bargains at the city's flea
markets, which offer some top quality goods with stores
touting designer knockoffs, antiques, jewellery, curios,
thrift wear, home furnishings and cosmetics. Farmer's
Markets are a must for foodies where they can sample
vegetables, meat, dairy, poultry and fish as well as baked
goods, honey, maple syrup, jam and wine.
