Shopping in the Big Apple
To shop is a sport!
It is a must to shop when you are in New York. There are a lot of range of shopping and it can be a good idea to peek in many different shops on the same item, then many shops are competing for the customers.
Here you can find everything from clothes, electronics, CD/DVD´s, antiques, furnitures... yes everything you can imagine.
 In New York it is always SALE. It is a part of the shopping.
Here is no Spring or Autumn SALE because here all shops want you to shop in their shop, therefore every shop is drawing customers with SALE. SALE is not only SALE but a way to get you into the shop. 25% SALE is often the regular prise, then the initial price is to high and impossible to sell. But a good sale tactic.
But as we say, here you can shop til you drop.
