* Never hold me down* asked:
Ok i asked a question about New York the other day and the answers were fantastic!
Ok i asked a question about New York the other day and the answers were fantastic!
However what i didnt find out is what is the shopping like?
Is it all very expensive designer stuff?
Will i be able to come home with lots of cool stuff with $1600 ?
How is it in comparison to London?
Also im still struggling for where to stay.
Preferably i wanna stay in Manhattan, but i dont want to pay a fortune!
I just want somewhere clean and comfy to crash at the end of the day.
And finally any advice on flights?? (I’ll be leaving from London)
Does anywhere have a sale on flights soon??

NYC has everything from inexpensive to lots of $$$. Compared to the Euro and the pound, the dollar is weak so you can get lots of stuff coming from UK.
check travelzoo.com for hotels, maybe even flights. And for fun in NYC try

Macys on 34th street has 7 huge floors. You can easily spend $1600 in one day. Bloomingdale on 3rd ave and 59th Street a store where you can die and be reborn, expensive as hell, all Christian Dior, Chanel, Fendi, even if you do not buy anything go and see it, it is great, they do have some affordable things however but Macy’s is cheaper. Lots of stores around Macy’s on 34th, just wonder around. I do not know what brands you have in England and what would be new for you so just go everywhere you see and shop. Prices in city are appr. 5-10% more then the same store in Brooklyn for example. I prefer to shop in NJ, we have some very nice outlet malls there, like Garden Mall at Elisabeth, NJ, but I do not know how to get there from city, sorry.
If you want to save on hotel, try Brooklyn hotels, but you will have to take subway to get to city.
Have fun

there are quite a few sites that you can search that will likely give you the best prices available. check out the website BookMe and you will be able to compare prices on all the reputable travel sites in just a couple minutes. it’s very convenient and will save you a bunch of time and money. Also, make sure you buy them online… otherwise they charge much higher fees for phone orders. good luck.
