Shopping Districts and bustling markets?

The most famous is the Union Square farmers market which is a must visit if you’re in New York during the summer. The best days to visit are Wednesdays, Fridays, Mondays, and Saturdays. If you are from a country like Norway or Sweden you’ll find that the chain stores are worth visiting. Some of the best and most popular of which are H&M, The Gap and also JCrew. You’ll also find a JCrew outlet at the Time Warner Center which is next door to the 59th St entrance into Central Park.

While you’re at the Time Warner Center make sure to check out the bustling Whole foods supermarket. This place is famous because it has seating as well as access to a microwave. This is perfect for supplies or even a cheap lunch if you’ve headed over to Central Park with the family.

There are a number of branches of H&M as well as The GAP. You’ll also find that the Century 21 Discount store about a few shops away from the World Trade Center is great if you’re looking for discounted designer labels. But the prices may not be as good as they are in other states like Vegas and LA.

If you’re into the latest fashion then you’ll find Soho to be the best place to shop. This is where the majority of boutique outlets are located.
