Shopping
You might come across the retail apocalypse happening in New York City as well as any other major city, but that is because you are in the wrong place! Lower Manhattan is making a retail come-back with small independent retailers in SOHO leading up to the amazing Hudson Yards and the new Brookfield Shopping mall experience. You will want to stop by Leather Suedes and Skins and Mode Fabrics. Looking for shoe supplies? Check out Khaufman’s new digs in Brooklyn as well as the Brooklyn Shoe Supply (Brooklyn Shoe Space).
Today it is unclear to say that 5th Avenue is still the highlight of lux shopping but while these anchors are still in residence, Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue and the rest of the lux crew are waiting for you to drop the big bucks on limited edition musthaves! Stay One of the most interesting hospitality options in New York are the PODS. With several locations throughout the city - the minimal-quarters-big-onfun concepts seem to be a great choice. And why not? Most of the time spent in the city is outside of the dwelling navigating through town for at least 18 hours of the day. The POD Hotels were developed in a Euro style design while providing a host of outside amenities like Día de Muertos rooftop, neighborhood walks, oversized game areas and partnerships with eateries in the neighborhood. If you prefer cosmopolitan style accommodations, hotels like the W and ACE Hotel are always a sure go-to. No matter which hotel you choose - there is no shortage of Instagramable shots.
