Avenue department stores to the vintage stores scattered around the
area. Here is a list of the must-see stores in New York.
Department stores
One
of the oldest ones is Barney’s (660 Madison Ave). It has been a haven
for fashion lovers since 1923 and is known to be the first to launch the
latest trends from its own private label and other luxury brands such
as Christian Louboutin, Marc Jacobs, Prada, Burberry Prorsum and many
others. It has eight regional stores and outlets from 9 different
locations including Japan.
Another
luxury department store is the Bergdorf Goodman (58th Street) which has
been open since 1928. You can find all you need ranging from bags,
shoes, jewelries, cosmetics and home wares. It also has a men’s store
(5th Ave).
The
ABC Carpet and Home on Broadway is a perfect choice if you need stuff
for your house. It is a six-storey building filled with handicrafts,
designer jewelries, lightings, antiques and carpets.
Vintage and boutique
This the city’s most loved book store located
in Manhattan. It has served book lovers since 1927 with its massive
collection of books, both old and new. The store houses up to 2.5
million books in its three-storey building. You may head to the basement
if you are looking for classic titles.
Drop
by to MoMa (53rd Street) – Museum of Modern Art – and find the most
stylish stuff ranging from coffee-table books to home and office
furniture and displays. This museum is one of the most visited places of
