NYC is vast and if you love to shop, it is hard to know where to begin. If you dont get here often, we do recommend certain key stops on your own, such as the flagship Bloomingdales on Lexington and 59th or perhaps pop into Century 21 on 64th and Broadway, for bargains. Of course, with loads of time, if you are an “explorer” you can spend an entire day in each neighborhood.

But for those of you who like  a little more handholding, need/wish to get alot out of a shorter amount of time, or want to do things others cannot do, we suggest a Shop Gotham NYC shopping tour. We offer 5 regularly scheduled fascinating programs each a week plus bountiful options for privates (you and a pal or 2) and larger groups.

For details and fees, please visit : www.shopgotham.com

I had a wonderful time!

Garment Center Insider Shopping Tour (For Women)

NYC never ceases to amaze us. Apparently, this  Shop Gotham owner hasnt walked down West 40th Street in a couple of years. To my surpise today, I discovered that both West 40th and West 39th, between Ninth and Tenth Avenues have become the affordable hotel mecca. I counted 7. Likely, they are “supported” by Javitz Center trade show goers.  But if are seeking a decent (albeit not sexy) hotel in the  $150 range,  here you go.  And if you intend to take Shop Gotham’s Garment Center “insider” shopping tour,you are but steps away. Of the group, I suggest checking out: Four Points Sheraton and the Distrikt.

So.. you are coming to New York City and determined to get some shopping in. Crazy not to.. as the wealth of options here is virtually endless. Where to start? With the multitude of neighborhoods overflowing with options, how do I not end up in Macys or Bloomies because I dont know the landscape?

Shop Gotham shopping tours will take you by the hand to an individual neighborhood and target the stores worth shopping at. And extend exclusive store discounts. And all the while you will get a feel for and learn about the neighborhoods. Succinct and successful. Or perhaps you want to go where others cant? Then the Garment Center “insider” shopping tour is for you. Wholesale houses. yesiree!

Then take the other days to wander aimlessly and see what you stumble upon.  For more information on Shop Gotham’s NYC shopping tours, please visit: www.shopgotham.com
