Why a series of posts on shopping districts? Well, you could just walk out the door and wade in but let’s be honest. There’s superb shopping across the whole city and in the surrounding areas but this is a big place with thousands, tens of thousands of shops. You can get almost anything here. A little structured guidance can’t hurt, right? And then - if you decide to just wander, at least you can tell people it was deliberate and not because you couldn’t find your Flashmaps book. So check out these areas where ’stores of a feather have flocked together’ and you can achieve a shopping tour de force and still have time to get a quick nap in before dinner.
Areas that will be covered in the future include:
-
Garment District: Roughly from West 24th or 25th Street to 40th and spanning Fifth to Ninth Avenue
- Diamond and Jewelry Districts: West 47th between Fifth Avenue and Sixth Avenue
- Flatiron District: From 14th to 34th Streets, between Sixth and Park Avenues.
and many, many others.
