The-MTV-Store
New-York
This petite boutique sits streetside, below the MTV studio. There's not much here -- but your kids will surely find something they want. Celebrity Deathmatch T-shirt, anyone? Flyers advertising for audience members for MTV shows are sometimes on hand at the register -- yet another reason for your teen to drag you in.This petite boutique sits streetside, below the MTV studio. There's
The-Scholastic-Store
New-York
This mammoth store is located at the ground level of the headquarters for children's book publisher Scholastic (which introduced a boy named Harry Potter to America). The 6,200-foot retail space is a veritable interactive playground for kids. Books, toys, and software products feature Scholastic's top-selling brands, from Clifford the Big Red Dog to Captain Underpants. Needless to say, Hogwarts is well represented. A full slate of in-store events, from author signings to craft workshops, also keeps kids busy; check the website or call for the current schedule.This mammoth store is located at the ground level of
The-Strand
New-York
Something of a New York legend, The Strand is worth a visit for its staggering \"8 miles of books\" as well as its extensive inventory of review copies and bargain titles at up to 85% off list price. It's unquestionably the city's best book deal -- there's almost nothing marked at list price -- and the selection is phenomenal in all categories (there's even a rare-book department on the third floor). Still, you'll work for it: The narrow aisles mean you're always getting bumped; the books are only roughly alphabetized; and there's no air-conditioning in summer. Nevertheless, it's a used-book-lover's paradise. Note that the lower Manhattan location is significantly smaller.Something of a New York legend, The Strand is worth
Tiffany-and-Co
New-York
The most famous jewelry store in New York -- and maybe the world -- deserves all the kudos. This wonderful multilevel store offers a breathtaking selection of jewelry, signature watches, tableware and stemware, and a handful of surprisingly affordable gift items. The store is so full of tourists that it's easy to browse without having any intention of buying. Believe it or not, it's not hard to find a lovely wearable piece in silver (Tiffany's best color, in my opinion) for around $200. If you do indulge, anything you buy -- even a $50 silver bookmark or key chain -- comes wrapped in that unmistakable blue box with a white ribbon tied just so.The most famous jewelry store in New York -- and
Token-Store
New-York
Come here for the hippest nylon and canvas carryalls in town. True to its name, Manhattan Portage manufactures all its bags right in the city, and they're made from hard-wearing materials that can stand up to an urban lifestyle. Popular styles include all-purpose messenger bags, DJ bags, and backpacks (in both standard and nouveau one-shoulder styles) in a range of colors from iridescent yellow to camouflage. Manhattan Portage bags are also sold through other outlets, but you'll find the most complete selection here.
Tourneau-Time-Machine
New-York
The snazzy three-floor emporium on East 57th Street is the world's largest watch store, carrying more than 90 brands and 8,000 different styles. The mind-boggling selection runs the gamut from Swatch to Rolex; Swiss Army knives, too.The snazzy three-floor emporium on East 57th Street is the
Toys-R-Us
New-York
Geoffrey the Giraffe must be mighty pleased with this multilevel, high-tech home. It occupies almost an entire city block in the heart of Times Square, and even boasts its own full-scale Ferris wheel, which kids can ride for free. The huge collection is very well organized, and the store's \"ambassadors\" are abundant and very helpful; they'll even point you to restaurants and kid-friendly attractions in the neighborhood. Don't miss it if you're traveling with kids.Geoffrey the Giraffe must be mighty pleased with this multilevel,
Twelfth-Street-Books
New-York
Tucked away on West 12th Street between Fifth Avenue and University Place, this cozy little trove offers great used books at amazing prices. Don't miss their small but impressive collection of vinyl records (remember those?) for sale.Tucked away on West 12th Street between Fifth Avenue and
Union-Square-Wines-and-Spirits
New-York
This small, cozy wine store squeezes in over 4,000 varieties of wines. There are numerous wine tastings throughout the week and recommendations by sommeliers from local restaurants. The store is well located across from the Union Square Greenmarket. If you have loaded up with fresh produce for a picnic, have the very personable clerks pair a wine with your food.This small, cozy wine store squeezes in over 4,000 varieties
Uniqlo
New-York
They call this place \"the Japanese Gap\"; I see it more like the Asian version of Scandinavian retailer, H&M. Here you'll find hip, \"youthful\" apparel for men and women at very affordable prices. After a series of \"pop-up\" stores around the series with Uniqlo's clothes, in late 2006, Uniqlo opened a 36,000-square-foot, tri-level Global flagship store in SoHo. The towering rows of shelves are stocked with cashmere sweaters, brightly colored sweatpants, jeans, and painted t-shirts (some for as little as $5.99). With most of the shelve space vertical, it's easy to browse here and, at these prices, hard to leave the store empty handed.They call this place \"the Japanese Gap\"; I see it
Urban-Center-Books
New-York
Housed in an architectural landmark, McKim, Mead & White's 1882 Villard Houses, the Municipal Art Society's bookstore boasts a terrific selection of new books on architecture, urban planning, and landscape design.Housed in an architectural landmark, McKim, Mead & White's 1882
Vera-Wang
New-York
The petite powerhouse is still the hottest name in bridal fashions. Vera dresses scads of top stars (particularly petite ones with great figures) on their big day or for the Oscars in her simple, elegant designs. Vera's studio is open by appointment only, so brides-to-be should call ahead. There's also a Vera Wang salon on the third floor at Bergdorf's. Ask about the annual warehouse sale, usually held in September.The petite powerhouse is still the hottest name in bridal
Virgin-Megastore
New-York
In the heart of Times Square, this superstore bustles day and night. For the size of it, the selection isn't as wide as you'd think; still, you're likely to find what you're looking for among the two levels of domestic and import CDs. Other pluses are an extensive singles department, a phenomenal number of listening posts, plus a huge video department. There's also a bookstore, a cafe, and a multiplex movie theater, and you can even arrange airfare on Virgin Atlantic with the on-site travel agent. Look for a busy schedule of in-store appearances at both locations.In the heart of Times Square, this superstore bustles day
Waterworks
New-York
The place to give that most sacred of rooms, the bath, a whole new, luxurious look. Half the store displays top-quality, hard-to-find designer hardware and fixtures, while the other half is dedicated to thick Egyptian terry towels, robes, and bathmats, plus stylish accessories for easy reinvention.The place to give that most sacred of rooms, the

Zabars
New-York
More than any other of New York's gourmet food stores, Zabar's is an institution. This giant deli sells prepared foods, packaged goods from around the world, coffee beans, excellent fresh breads, and much more (no fresh veggies, though). This is the place for lox, and the rice pudding is the best I've ever tasted. You'll also find an excellent -- and well-priced -- collection of housewares and restaurant-quality cookware on the second floor. Prepare yourself for serious crowds. The attached cafe serves terrific sandwiches and takeout -- ideal for a Central Park picnic.More than any other of New York's gourmet food stores,
Zitomers
New-York
This three-story drugstore is more a mini-department store than a pharmacy. You'll find everything from electronics to pet supplies. But the first floor is where you'll spend most of your time if you're looking for beauty products. They have their own very good line of cosmetics called Z New York. Big Apple lip gloss will make a great souvenir; you won't find it in your local Walgreens.This three-story drugstore is more a mini-department store than a
