New York

Shop Like Carrie in NYC

New York is the ultimate shopping destination, made famous by Sex and the City and home to some of the biggest and best shops in the world. From high priced designer labels to vintage boutiques, New York offers something for all tastes and budgets. If you are trying to track down the latest Chanel Bag then Madison Avenue is the place for you, or perhaps you’re after some one of a kind vintage 70’s dresses? Then it’s off to Soho!

One of the best things about shopping in New York is the diversity; each district has its own unique atmosphere and style which is reflected in the different stores. There are shopping tours available in the city which takes you around many of the best shopping hotspots including Macys, the world’s biggest department store.

If you’re an art lover then a trip to Chelsea is recommended as you can pick up some original art works and take a trip around some of the galleries. For rare books and other antiques Soho is definitely recommended and has a distinctive vibe that many shoppers love. If you do fancy living like Carrie & Co for a weekend, a shopping trip to New York is definitely worthwhile.
