Designer Discount Store's

A friend and I are taking a day trip to NYC to do some shopping. We already have Century 21 and Daffy%26#39;s on our itinerary? Can someone recommend another place close to midtown?

Also, does anyone know if PA residents can get the 11% discount at Macy%26#39;s using a driver%26#39;s license?

TIA!!!

QB, My goodness what are you doing up, CAn you not sleep. lol

BTW can you tell me what is excluded in the 11% dicount at Macys, %26amp; do other stores offer this discount for UK visitors.

Many thanks

Hey, NETS, good afternoon! The forum is a great cure for insomnia. Already making me sleepy.....

I believe that Bloomingdale%26#39;s also offers a visitors%26#39; discount. Just go to their customer service office and show proof that you don%26#39;t live here.

OB do you know what is excluded from the 11% discount. Enjoy your sleep.

I used to live in New Jersey and worked in Manhattan - below is what I tell people that asked me about shopping in NYC. There%26#39;s so many places to shop in NYC - below are just suggestions.

Before you go shopping in Chinatown, go first to the Garment district.

Start out by going to Earrings Plaza 1263 Broadway (between 31 %26amp; 32 Streets). This has 2 floors of all costume jewelry starting price of $2.75. This is a great place to get X-mas presents. When you%26#39;re done here - just keep walking down 4 blocks on both sides, make a right or a left on any of the streets and there are ';bodegas'; selling everything you can possibly think of ie silver jewelry, custome jewelry; perfumes, sunglasses, purses, scarves, hats, gloves, etc. Some retailers in Chinatown come here to buy their stuff. You get more discount if you can find someone that has a wholesale license so you don%26#39;t have to pay the NYC taxes.

Garment District (7th Avenue and Broadway from 34th to 42nd Street where you might be able to find some sample sales.

Shoe Street: West 8th Street between University Place and 6th Avenue. More than 30 shops of all shoes – about 3 blocks on each end.

Daffy’s (various locations)

Loehmanns: for designer clothes: 101 Seventh Avenue

H%26amp;M Store (a must): for trendy clothes. Various Locations 34TH Street %26amp; 7th Avenue; 34th Street %26amp; Herald Square; 5th Avenue %26amp; 51st %26amp; 125 West 125th.

Strawberry (various locations in the Financial District, Midtown %26amp; Greenwich Village)

LOWER MANHATTAN

Shops:

Syms for designer clothes located at 42 Trinity Place (not too far from Trinity Church across from Wall Street)

Century 21 (another MUST): for designer bargains located at 22 Cortlandt St (Cross Street: Between Church Street and Broadway) New York, NY 10007 (212) 227-9092 Directions: A, C, E at Chambers St; N, R at Cortlandt St

From Century 21 go to Nassau Street, between Liberty %26amp; Fulton – there’s lots of small “bodegas” for coats….. lots of coats. Coats that go for $150 to $250 normally you can buy for $39.99. I came home with 4 coats last year.

CHINATOWN %26amp; LITTLE ITALY

Mulberry Street – trendy shops from Houston to Mulberry

Mott Street General Store: oldest store in Chinatown since 1891

Pearl River Mart at Canal %26amp; Broadway

Canal Jean Company: 718 Broadway (vintage clothing)

Thank you so muchI know where I%26#39;ll be going!!

NETS, I think depts. that are ';franchised'; are excluded from the 11% discount. I know that would include cosmetics, MAYBE also electronics and jewelry but double check.
