Shopping


As the financial capital of the world, New York is home to a commercial centre like no other. Renowned businesses such as Apple, M.A.C., Nike, and more have planted their flagship stores firmly in Manhattan. Luxury brands adorn the streets; from Versace, Cartier, and Tiffany on Fifth Avenue, to Alexandra Wang, Miu Miu, and Prada on SoHo. With their fabulous selections, lush interiors, prevalence in movies, and penchant for attracting celebrity clients, these shops are a must for sightseers and fashion-lovers alike.


If you’re coming to New York with the hopes of buying clothes, beauty supplies, and accessories for a bargain, it would be remiss not to plan a day searching through one or two of the city’s mammoth department stores. From the more expensive lines at Barneys, Saks, and Bloomingdales, to the broader price range of Macy’s, JCPenney and Nordstrom Rack, you are guaranteed to come away at the end of the day with some fabulous finds!


While some of the stores listed above may not be to the taste of the younger members of your party, New York has plenty more on offer to capture their imaginations and make this trip one they will never want to forget! On Fifth Avenue alone you can find The American Girl Place, Nintendo World, and the Lego Store, all of which are complete with play and seating areas. For the bigger kids leading the party, make sure to head further down the street to FAO Schwartz to feel like Kevin in ‘Home Alone 2’, or emulate Tom Hanks on the famous floor piano featured in ‘Big’.
