Chelsea-Antiques-Building
New-York
This 12-floor building houses more than 100 dealers and is open daily. The permanent stalls run the gamut from 18th-century antiques to rare books to early-20th-century radios, jewelry, and toys. Prices are so good that it's known as a dealers' source, and shoppers are the type who love to prowl, touch everything, and sniff out a bargain.This 12-floor building houses more than 100 dealers and is
Chelsea-Market
New-York
Located in an old Nabisco factory, this big, dazzling food mall is the city's largest. Come for both raw and ready-to-eat foods, including divinely inspired baked goods and cappuccino from Amy's Bread; yummy soups from Hale and Hearty; Manhattan's best brownie at Fat Witch Bakery; and much more, including the wonderful Chelsea Wine Vault. Chelsea Market Baskets is a great place to pick up gifts for home.Located in an old Nabisco factory, this big, dazzling food
Colony-Music-Center
New-York
This long-lived Theater District shop (\"since 1948\") is housed in the legendary Brill Building, the Tin Pan Alley of 1950s and 1960s pop, where songwriters like Leiber and Stoller and producers like Don Kirshner and Phil Spector crafted the soundtrack for a generation. It's the perfect home for Colony, a nostalgia emporium filled with a pricey but excellent collection of vintage vinyl and new CDs. You'll find a great collection of Broadway scores and cast recordings; decades worth of recordings by pop song stylists both legendary and obscure; the city's best collection of sheet music (including some hard-to-find international stuff); and a great selection of original theater and movie posters.This long-lived Theater District shop (\"since 1948\") is housed in

Dean-and-Deluca
New-York
This bright, clean-lined store offers premier quality across the board: In addition to the excellent butcher, fish, cheese, and dessert counters (check out the stunning cakes and the great character cookies) and beautiful fruits and veggies, you'll find a dried-fruit-and-nut bar, a huge coffee-bean selection, a gorgeous cut-flower selection, lots of imported waters and beers in the refrigerator case, and a limited but quality selection of kitchenware in back. A small cafe up front makes a great stop for a cappuccino break from SoHo shopping.This bright, clean-lined store offers premier quality across the board:
DiPalos-Dairy
New-York
Before there was Mario Batali, before Danny Meyer, or Daniel Boulud, there was Louie DiPalo, a true New York food celebrity if there ever was one. But thankfully, Louie won't be hosting any food shows anytime soon. He's too busy behind the counter of his 1910-originated, family-run store putting together packages of the best and hardest to find Italian cheeses around for some of the city's most acclaimed restaurants and chefs. But you don't have to be a chef to enjoy DiPalo's; you just need a little patience -- lines can get long and Louie and his staff will take their time with your order. The tiny store is one of the last authentic Italian vestiges in the now tacky and overly gentrified neighborhood of Little Italy.Before there was Mario Batali, before Danny Meyer, or Daniel

Elizabeth Doyle's lovely antiques boutique offers further evidence of the transformation of the Lower East Side from old-world cheap to exceptionally chic.

Drama-Book-Shop
New-York
This store has a resident theater company and in-house performance space. It also hosts discussions, panels, staged readings, and book signings with members of the theater community. Offering thousands of plays, from translations of Greek classics to this season's biggest hits, the shop also sells books, magazines, and newspapers on the craft and business of the performing arts.This store has a resident theater company and in-house performance
Dylans-Candy-Bar
New-York
Dylan (daughter of Ralph) Lauren is one of the co-owners of this bazaar for sugar addicts. Located across the street from Bloomingdale's, you'll find all the candy classics, such as Necco Wafers, Charleston Chews, and both of my favorite childhood chewing gums, Black Jack and Gold Mine. Dylan's also makes signature chocolates, candy creations, candy spa products like hot-chocolate bath beads, and custom-made ice cream flavors.Dylan (daughter of Ralph) Lauren is one of the co-owners
Economy-Candy-Store
New-York
While Dylan's is the new generation of candy store, Economy Candy, which has been selling its sweet wares since 1937, in the gentrified Lower East Side across the street from the gleaming Hotel on Rivington, is a blast from the past. Here, if you are somewhat aged like your author, you will recognize treats from your childhood like Hot Tamales, Bit O'Honey candy, Kosher rock candy, Atomic Fireballs, and Necco Wafers. You'll also find a fine selection of dried fruits and nuts and gourmet chocolate here. A trip to Economy Candy is definitely a trip back in time and worth taking.While Dylan's is the new generation of candy store, Economy

Eileen-Fisher
New-York
Making their way around the nation in her own shops and through outlets like Saks and the Garnet Hill catalog, Eileen Fisher's separates are a dream come true for stylish women looking for easy-to-wear classic pieces that transcend the latest fads. She designs fluid clothes in a pleasing neutral palette and uses natural fibers that don't sacrifice comfort for chic. The A-line styles look a bit droopy on shorter women, but otherwise suit all figure types well. The superior quality, fabrics, and style make these clothes worth every penny. The beautifully austere SoHo location is Fisher's prime showcase. The semiannual consolidation sales, in March and August, are a bargain hunter's delight. Note that only the SoHo flagship sells the complete line, including both the petite and women's collections. The closet-size East 9th Street location basically functions as an outlet store, with lots of sale merchandise and seconds on hand.Making their way around the nation in her own shops
Fairway
New-York
There is no better all-in-one market in Manhattan than Fairway. Here you will find the best and most modestly priced vegetables in the city. Cheeses are top-of-the-line and well organized. The fish counter is excellent and, again, very modestly priced. The second floor of the Broadway store features hard-to-find health foods and a wide array of organic fruits and vegetables. Fairway also carries the gourmet items you might find at Dean & Deluca but at a fraction of the cost. The Harlem store is huge and features a walk-in freezer, complete with down jackets provided for customers' use.There is no better all-in-one market in Manhattan than Fairway.
FAO-Schwarz
New-York
After closing due to bankruptcy, this venerable toy institution reopened just before Christmas 2004. After eliminating products carried by the big discounters, FAO Schwarz now carries those hard-to-find and oh-so-expensive items like Vespa scooters for older children, mini-luxury cars like Hummers and Jaguars, and serious karaoke machines. There's also a soda fountain where the kids can load up on sugar to fuel their romp through the magical store. The giant piano keys made famous in the movie Big thankfully still remain.After closing due to bankruptcy, this venerable toy institution reopened
Fishs-Eddy
New-York
What a great idea: selling remainders of kitschy, custom-designed china left over from yesteryear. Ever wanted a dish that really says \"Blue Plate Special\"? Or how about a mug with the terse logo \"Cup o' Joe to Go\"? The store is Browse Heaven, and prices on its American industrial china are low enough. The store's own designs are equally wonderful, especially its series with the New York skyline. Other items for sale include basic vintage and retro-inspired flatware, heavy crockery bowls, and classic restaurant-supply glassware that can be hard to find in regular stores, like soda-fountain and pint glasses.What a great idea: selling remainders of kitschy, custom-designed china

New-York
Despite the high-ticket facade, Fortunoff is a good resource for Swatch watches and a nice place to start pricing classic pieces: gold earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and the like. The styles aren't innovative, but the store tries to keep up an image as a discounter, and prices are low. Great for silver and wedding gifts, too.Despite the high-ticket facade, Fortunoff is a good resource for

Generation-Records
New-York
This tidy little store sells mostly CDs and is an excellent source for \"import\" live recordings. Originally specializing in hard-core, punk, and heavy metal, the new collection upstairs still has a heavy edge but has since diversified appreciably. Downstairs is a well-organized and well-priced used-CD selection that's not as picked over as most and runs the genre gamut; there's also a good selection of used LPs. Despite the help's tough look, they're actually quite friendly and helpful.This tidy little store sells mostly CDs and is an

Harrys-Shoes
New-York
This shoe store was an Upper West Side institution even before gentrification hit the neighborhood over 20 years ago. They were one of the first shoe stores to carry New Balance in the city and now their selection of brands range from Bruno Magli to retro Keds. With a huge selection of children's brands, Harry's is the place for kids' shoes, which is why you might want to stay away, unless you don't mind parental hysteria during the back-to-school frenzy of late August as well as the presummer camp throngs that descend in late June.This shoe store was an Upper West Side institution even
Henri-Bendel
New-York
This gorgeous Fifth Avenue store is fun to browse. It feels like you're shopping in the townhouse of a slightly offbeat, moneyed lady who doesn't think twice about throwing on a little something by Anna Sui and an outrageously wide-brimmed hat to go out shopping for the day -- she's got the panache to pull it off. It's a superstylish, high-ticket collection for ladies with a flair for the funky and frilly -- but sales are good, and there are always some one-of-a-kind accessories that make affordable souvenirs (and earn you one of the black-and-white-striped shopping bags, the best in town). The makeup department is always on the cutting edge. The pretty tearoom looks out on Fifth Avenue through Lalique windows.This gorgeous Fifth Avenue store is fun to browse. It
