This is your opportunity to do so with the leading company in New York. Deals, designers, shopping, small tour groups. Sound good?

2)At 1pm, stroll to Fifth and grab lunch at either the: charming casual cafe at the new Andaz Hotel on 41st and Fifth or if you qwant something a bit more upscale to celebrate your new purchases, book at res. at Bryant Park Cafe, situated on the north end of the park, behind the NYC Public Library.

3)Stroll one block or cross the street to the New York Public library and take in the exhibition Celebrating 100 Years. “This major exhibition of more than 250 thought-provoking items from NYPL’s vast collections celebrates how the Library has encouraged millions of individuals to gain access to a universe of information during the past 100 years.
