Eileen Fisher
New York
Making their way around the nation in her own shops and through such outlets as 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 eliminating products carried by the big discounters, FAO Schwarz now carries those hard-to-find and oh-so-expensive items such as Vespa scooters for older children, mini-luxury cars such as 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 eliminating products carried by the big discounters, FAO Schwarz
Fauchon
New York
This Parisian chocolatier operates a large, elegant boutique featuring an ultracharming tea salon, and sparkling glass cases display a gorgeous array of chocolates and sweet treats flown in daily; the candied fruits are among the most gorgeous foods I've ever seen. Afternoon tea is served daily from noon to 6pm (to 5pm on Sun); you can choose between a two-course tea ($30) or a lovely array of salads, quiches, and so forth.

Firestore
New York
What better way to spend your souvenir budget than by saluting New York's bravest and finest? Here's the place to purchase FDNY logo wear, including T-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, and more. The goods are all top-quality, and a portion of the profits support the widows and children of the 343 firefighter victims lost in the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, and to NYPD-related charities.. The store, which moved to the West Village from Lafayette Street last year, along with its next-door neighbor, formerly known as New York 911, and now it's a one-stop for all things FDNY, NYPD, EMS, FBI, and NYC-coroner gear. The bounty includes shirts, caps, badge pins, patches, logo toys, and much more. (Not all of the products are licensed by the city, however; I suggest trying to stick with those that are.) The store is well-stocked and fun to browse, making it a great place to buy souvenirs and gifts for the folks back home.What better way to spend your souvenir budget than by
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, such as soda-fountain and pint glasses, that can be hard to find in regular stores.What a great idea: selling remainders of kitschy, custom-designed china

Fortunoff
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. It's great for silver and wedding gifts, too.Despite the high-ticket facade, Fortunoff is a good resource for

This Italian linen maker has taken the hotel world by storm with its silky cotton sheets and plush terry towels and robes.

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
Giraudon New York
New York
This French designer offers fashionable, well-made street shoes for hip men and women who want something clean-lined and stylish but not too chunky or trendy.

H&M
New York
The Swedish super-discounter Hennes & Mauritz has sprouted up all over New York the past 5 years. The loud, bustling stores are mammoth, but the departments are better organized than those at most full-retail department stores. The men's and women's clothing is ultrachic, and the prices are low, low, low. A real fave with teens, in particular. The main Herald Square store carries all lines, including babies, children's, and maternity wear.The Swedish super-discounter Hennes & Mauritz has sprouted up all

Harry's 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 -- she's got the panache to pull it off. It's a super-stylish, 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 tearoom looks out on Fifth Avenue through Lalique windows.This gorgeous Fifth Avenue store is fun to browse. It
House of Oldies
New York
I skipped many a high school class to spend time in this old store searching for doo-wop. I think it was here that I bought a mint "Woo Woo Train," by the Valentines, on Rama Records, for less than $5. That same record now probably costs over $60 and you can probably still find it at the House of Oldies. The store has over one million vinyl records in stock, in everything from R&B to surf music. If vinyl oldies are your thing, there's no better place.I skipped many a high school class to spend time
Housing Works Used Books Cafe
New York
Here's a way to do something good for yourself and others at the same time: Buy your reading material at this spacious yet cozy used-book shop, sporting 45,000 books and records. It's part of Housing Works, a not-for-profit organization that provides housing, services, and advocacy for homeless people living with HIV and AIDS. The collection is terrific and well-organized, with lots of well-priced paperbacks, hardbacks, advance copies, and coffee-table books. There's a cafe in back that serves coffee and tea as well as sandwiches, sweets, and other light bites, plus beer and wine. The bookstore often hosts readings by well-known writers as well as occasional music performances on Wednesday and Thursday evenings; call or check the website for the current listings.Here's a way to do something good for yourself and
