Where to go shopping in New York? New York City is the main shopping destination for many visitors. There you will find anything you look for, and if you are interested in local, i.e. American brands, you will for sure get affordable prices. It is also important to mention that stores such as Guess, Converse, Michael Kors are more affordable than in Europe.
If you want to buy European brands, prices are more or less the same or higher than in European fashion capitals. When it comes to technology, laptops, digital cameras and iPhone devices are more affordable than anywhere in the world. You may also ask for tax-free devices. The biggest Apple store is near Central Park, and it is something else. Be vary to allocate enough time for this store because it is often crowded and there is usually a queue with ten or more people in front of the store entrance.
If you are interested in high fashion, Fifth Avenue is the perfect place for you. Here you will find stores of the most famous and luxurious brands of today. If you would like something more affordable, there are Macy’s or Kmart shopping malls near Penn station.
You can buy various souvenirs in Chinatown, but also rip-offs of designer bags and clothes. They go from bad to pretty good ones made from fine material – there is where the price difference comes from. You can also bargain with sellers. If you are good at haggling, usually you will get the item for 50% off from the initial price.
