Got extra money to spend? Did grandma just send you a check for your birthday? Interested in getting that new IT thing? If somehow, you've managed to beat the recession and answered yes to any of these questions, then come on down to New York's 5th avenue.
The shopping at 5th avenue in New York between 49th street to Central Park at 59th street is considered the place for all the IT people to buy their items. A walk down this gold paved road guarantees a celebrity sighting. For the average man however, this place may leave your pockets dry, your wallets empty, and your plastics burned.
The list of designer stores is endless, and the prices at these designer stores are limitless. But if you find yourself to be ready, willing, and able to drop some serious dough at these stores, you will be left nothing short of a VIP experience.
There is one store on this silk road where you can find yours truly. That is the NBA store at 5th and 52nd. With autographs, jerseys, collectibles, indoor basketball, ticket counters, clothes, video games, life-sized replicas, and so much more, this store will never bore the sports enthusiast.
For the shopper seeking some designer clothing, but a cheaper selection ought to mosey on forward to the legendary Bloomingdale's in NY. This building is almost as famous as the United Nations in NY. The store occupies an entire square block in the heart of the city on 3rd ave between 59th and 60th.
If none of the above interests you, which ought to be the case for most of us because this type of shopping exists anywhere in the world, there is one last solution. Walk through Little Italy on Mulberry Street to give you a real NYC experience. Small stores, fake goods, and persistent salesmen makes this place the epitome of the New York City market.
If the recession's got you bad, doesn't mean you can't enjoy New York's shopping. Just walk around with a hot pretzel and window shop your mind away!
