Introduction
New York shopping is a nonstop eye-opener, from the pristine couture houses flanking Madison Avenue to quirkier shops downtown. No matter which threshold you cross, shopping here is an event. For every bursting department store there's an echoing, minimalist boutique; for every familiar national brand there's a secret local favorite. The foremost American and international companies stake their flagships here; meanwhile, small neighborhood shops guarantee unexpected pleasures. National chains often make their New York branches something special, with unique sales environments and exclusive merchandise. For most New Yorkers, shopping is a way of life.You don't shop when you need something, you shop all the time, and somehow one shop always leads to another. Manhattan is a place for wandering -- new boutiques are constantly springing up, even on streets that were deserted just weeks before. Manhattan's must-hit shopping neighborhoods concentrate their temptations, sometimes with boutiques in nearly every address on a block, so you can easily spend a couple of hours walking and browsing. Special neighborhood profiles throughout this chapter will point you to the best areas and give you expert navigating tips. The individual reviews in this chapter are organized by type of merchandise, in alphabetical order by category. Many specialty stores have several branches in the city; in these cases, we have listed the locations in the busier shopping neighborhoods. Happy hunting!
