My inspiration for this post came from my dear, longtime blogging friend, Debbie @ Musings by an ND Domer's Mom, who is not only a gifted...
One of the coolest things about NYC, is the availability of diverse shopping.
Contrary to the high-cost of living in this city (which it definitely is), you can also find things that are very inexpensive because of all the great bargain stores that are readily available.
Allow me to also add, that NY is a city of awesome convenience. It runs 24/7, so if you ever need something in a hurry, and at an unusual time of the day or night, you can walk out your front door and most likely get it.
That’s what I love about urban living….it’s all self-contained.
That, and the fact you can walk everywhere. And I LOVE to walk.
To be honest, I’m someone who will often shop a bargain rather than designer, because quite frankly, I can’t afford it. And even if I could, I would rather spend money on traveling.
However, I can still appreciate ogling over quality design. You haven’t lived until you’ve walked down 5th Avenue; pretending you’re Ivana Trump with an unlimited Platinum American Express Card, while licking the designer store windows with your tongue.
(just make sure you have mouthwash handy)
Armani, Coach, Tiffany, Chanel and Dior, all decorate 5th Avenue.
Here are a few designers.….
Cartier
Bvlgari
Bergdorf Goodman and Van Cleef & Arpels
Chanel and Dior
The Plaza Hotel, also along 5th Avenue. Anytime I see this view of The Plaza, I’m reminded of the final scene in the movie The Way We Were, with Streisand and Redford.
Katie: “Your girl is lovely, Hubbell.”
Directly across the street from The Plaza, is F.A.O. Schwarz toy store. The front doorman was so kind to pose for me while taking his photo.
The big piano that was used in the Tom Hanks movie, BIG.
I took this one for you, Nitebyrd. The Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center. All the holiday decorations were still up in the city last week.
I heart you NY!
Wishing you an Empire weekend everyone!
