There are many reasons to visit the Big Apple with its iconic tourist attractions and New York City shopping is another reason. Whether you browse round independently or go on organized shopping tours, there is something for every family member. The city has famous department stores, flagship stores, malls and designer outlets. It’s easy to criss cross the city in a yellow cab and you can break for lunch at one of the many restaurants and delis.

There are three major department stores, all with a long history in shopping, New York City style. Bloomingdales is located on Third Avenue and is very tourist friendly with its own Visitor’s Center, a personal shopper facility and a currency exchanger. Departments include home furnishings, fashion, cosmetics and perfumes. Macy’s on Herald Square opened its doors in 1902 and has a range of goods over ten floors. Saks Fifth Avenue is another prestigious store and has been in operation since 1924 with clothing, cosmetics, fragrances, jewelry and much more.

Madison Avenue is the place to be seen, even if it’s just for window-shopping. Lovers of designer clothes are in heaven and can choose from Chanel, Calvin Klein, and Prada to name a few. The best Italian shoes are to be found at Fratelli Rossetti. The area also has the famous Barney’s store, known for its designer wear and accessories for both men and women. The store holds a warehouse sale every February and again in August. SoHo is another terrific New York City shopping district. It is an outdoor mall, complete with cobblestone streets. Stores sell clothing, sports goods, cosmetics and items for the home and garden.

Shopping is not just for the adults; the kids can have fun too. FAO Schwarz toy shop on Fifth Avenue is like a treasure chest to young eyes.

The world of retail luxury can be summed up by one word, Tiffany. Tiffany and Co. is the most famous jeweler store in the world and hundreds of couples buy their engagement rings there each year. There are stunning pieces of jewellery and finely made precision watches and the store commissions from the world’s best designers, including Paloma Picasso.
