Whether it is the Carrie Bradshaw look alike party dress, Levi’s jeans , Halloween costume or unique 50’s vintage apparel New York has it all.
They do it bigger and they do it better than anywhere else I have ever shopped and as a world traveller I have been to many unusual destinations including tourist free areas of the Middle East . I have never encountered such a shopping mecca .Its alive , vibrant and they retail for at least 12hrs a day 7 days a week and whether its family day sales, buy 1 get 1 free, close -out sales , or 50% off they do it well.Undiscovered retro treasures and vintage bargains abound largely due to the size of the population and the incentive for locals who donate their goods to receive a tax write off .Its profitable to recycle . A vast network off all types of stores blankets New York and the corner store deli’s offer what most Australians have never known or forgotten they existed in the form of the local milk bar . Food and groceries are cheap and you receive friendly service that is usually no further than 6 steps away from your apartment .Local little eateries abound in all the NYC Boroughs offering a wide diversity of dining options and the Lower East Side ( LES ) of Manhatten is a particularly funky neighbourhood and home to NYC’s melting pot of ethnic diversity .In the Lower East Side a whole street is dedicated to vintage clothing stores and they provide anything and many eras including everything from the 20’s to the 80’s . Different neighbourhoods offer speciality products but if you can’t find what you want in NYC it hasn’t been made yet .! Get travelling and shopping and take advantage of generous baggage allowances girlfriend .
