What are you going to offer this year???? From November 22 to December 28, 2008, go to the Holiday Shops at Bryant Park and get some ideas. You’ll find all kinds of handmade gifts from around the world. The Holiday Shops are open Monday-Friday, 11:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m; Saturdays 10:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m; Sundays 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Black Friday is upon us. It is important that you mark your calendars, set up your reminders...it is November 28, the day after Thanksgiving. Do you want to save some money? Make an early list for those Christmas gifts and save lots of money. Black Friday is frequently referred as the busiest shopping day of the year. Let me rephrase it: Busiest Savings Day. Many retailers open early typically 5 A.M. and offer door buster deals and hefty discounts. Shoppers line up hours before stores with big sales open. Few items are sharply discounted. Be ready to experience shoulder to shoulder crowds. Get ready for the excitement. Oh yes, do not forget to empty out your car trunks....you will have to need them!! Enjoy your savings.
Okay, you may not gain entry into any of the tents, but pay close attention to the people who actually are in those tents: tons of celebrities! So get ready with your camera and go to Bryant Park at 40th Street and Fifth Avenue. Hurry up! Fashion Week will run from September 5 to September 12. For more information, visit the official website.
Visit the one of the oldest public makers in the country. The New Amsterdam market was established in
1642, when municipal ferry service was established between Brooklyn and the
growing city of New Amsterdam. Today at the New Amsterdam Market you can
find items from butchers, grocers, fish, cheese monger, and among many other
things. Click here for more information.
If you are shopping at Macy’s and you are an international visitor, don’t forget to take your passport with you and to go to the Visitors Center. You will receive a Welcome International Savings Card that will give you 11% off the entire store during 30 days! Macy’s is located at 151 West 34th Street.
Do you every wish you could shop in some of New York’s trendiest boutiques or stores but don’t have the pocket book to support it? Not to worry. Check out the countless sample sales going on around the city with discounts up to 70% on designer names like Huminska and Barneys.
