Bloomies
Avoid the street venders and the shops that are forever going out of business. The department stores are great in New York. By all means, go to Bloomingdales (pictured here.) Don't miss Bergdorf-Goodman or Henri Bendel's. There are great discount stores for clothing. If S&W is still there (6th Avenue opposite FIT) by all means go there. There is Forman's for women's clothing. Men should go to Moe Ginsburg on lower Fifth Avenue (around 27th street or thereabouts.) There is Miss, Ms, and Mrs. In Brooklyn, go to Nathan Borman's. You'll find places on your own as you wander the streets of NYC. Remember, New York is a walking city.
