Sean John
New York
P. Diddy has come a long way from his Harlem roots. In 2004, he opened a flagship on Fifth Avenue and 41st Street featuring his signature hip-hop duds. But the store looks more like a refined library (maybe inspired by the big one across the street -- the New York Public Library) than any gangsta club, uptown or downtown. Still, if you don't feel like making your way up to 125th Street, you'll find similar street style here in the heart of corporate brand-name Midtown.P. Diddy has come a long way from his Harlem

They've also reinvented the bespoke suit in clean, slim, contemporary lines.This Nolita shop custom-tailors Egyptian cotton shirts in bright colors
Sherry-Lehmann
New York
Zagat's has called Sherry-Lehmann the "Rolls-Royce of wine shops," and the readers of Decanter magazine just named it Best Wine Merchant in the United States. Their vast inventory is mind-boggling and includes ritzy gift baskets that make luxurious gifts. Service is excellent and free wine tastings are often offered. Although expensive, this is the place to come if you're looking for a special bottle.Zagat's has called Sherry-Lehmann the "Rolls-Royce of wine shops," and
Shoofly
New York
Top-quality clothing, footwear, and accessories for kids from newborns through teens. You'll find lots of distinctive stuff here, including imported lines. The shoe selection, in particular, is terrific, and not too pricey. The downtown store also sells toys and infant gifts.Top-quality clothing, footwear, and accessories for kids from newborns through
Sigerson Morrison
New York
Women who love shoes and are willing to pay in the neighborhood of $200 to $300 for something really special should make a beeline for this Nolita shop. These fashion-forward originals wow with their immaculate details, bright color palette, and sexy, strappy retro appeal -- worth every penny. You'll also find some of their styles at Bergdorf Goodman and Saks if you don't want to go downtown. Attention, bargain hunters: Check out the January winter and August summer sales; prices drop to less than half of retail as the sales wind down.Women who love shoes and are willing to pay in
Skyline Books
New York
A precious holdout from the recent literary shakeout to overtake the city, this wonderful Fourth Avenue book-lover's haven sells rare, used, and hard-to-find books of all types, specializing in art, photography, modern literature, scholarly subjects, beat literature, first editions, and African-American literature. If you're a devotee of all things literary, dive in and wade through its stacks.A precious holdout from the recent literary shakeout to overtake
Space Kiddets
New York
This sleeper in the Flatiron District has been around for 23 years and features children's clothing in refreshing styles -- a cut above such chains as the Children's Place. But the prices are also a cut above. Sales are frequent.This sleeper in the Flatiron District has been around for
Steuben Glass
New York
This is the flagship store for America's premier manufacturer of fine glass and crystal, said to be the world's purest. The store is gorgeous, and the pieces -- which run the gamut from fruit bowls to sculptures -- are spectacularly crafted and refract light beautifully. Prices start around $200 for a "hand cooler" (a small collectible, often animal-shaped, that fits in your palm) and run into the five figures. The Corning Gallery, on the lower level, hosts rotating art exhibits.This is the flagship store for America's premier manufacturer of
Takashimaya
New York
This petite branch of Japan's most famous department-store chain exudes an appealingly austere, Japanese-tinged French-country charm. Come to see some of the city's most beautiful displays of tableware and boudoir fashions. Paris's most famous florist, Christian Tortu, has a main-floor boutique that's a work of art in its own right. The cosmetics department on the top floor is a must for fans of high-end designer brands looking for something special. The serenely elegant Tea Box specializes in delicate bento lunches and beautiful sweets. Aesthetes shouldn't miss this place; it's a wonderful spot for delicate, elegant gifts.This petite branch of Japan's most famous department-store chain exudes
Ted Baker London
New York
This hip Brit import, housed in a store that feels like an old-school country club, is a more-than-welcome addition to the men's clothing options in Manhattan. I like their sloppy-chic button-down shirts, which bring back memories of the post-Beatles British invasion.This hip Brit import, housed in a store that feels
Terence Conran Shop
New York
Sir Terence Conran rules the London design and restaurant world, and now he's looking to make inroads in America with this bold sleek home shop. It's like an upscale -- and, frankly, overpriced -- version of IKEA, with lots of sleek contemporary lines, lightweight materials (chrome, blond woods, colorful plastic), and fun twists on standard household goods. Still, he set the tone for affordable contemporary design, and that alone makes this bright, browsable multilevel shop well worth a look.Sir Terence Conran rules the London design and restaurant world,
The Apple Store
New York
The largest Apple Store opened in early 2006, and hasn't closed yet (it's open 24/7). This glass edifice on Fifth Avenue and 59th Street features 18,000-square-feet. Descend a glass staircase or elevator to the store below ground where there is a 46-seat theater and 14 Internet-connected computers fully loaded with games; a geek's paradise. It's almost impossible to walk by without popping in to see what the fuss is all about. I'm not sure anyone actually buys all the Apple gadgets sold here, but it sure is fun to try out the floor samples.The largest Apple Store opened in early 2006, and hasn't

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.

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.Something of a New York legend, The Strand is worth
Tiffany & 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.
