Memphis Cast Member Proposes to the Love of His Life!

Check out this video, which captures a fabulous, only-in-New-York moment.

NYC loves this season for a lot of reasons:  the cherry trees blooming at Central Park, the sidewalk cafes re-appearing on the streets, the opportunity to wear peep-toed shoes!  But for those who consider shopping a way of life, spring also means SAMPLE SALES!!

Common Dressing Room Question

At Shop Gotham we hear that question over and over.  But guess what?  Sometimes it’s not you, honey, it’s the store.  Blogger Ryan O’Connell posted this hilarious list of stores guaranteed to make you feel fat! See if your favorites (or least favorites) made the list by clicking on the link!

This week, the NYC Sample Sales are literally overflowing with goods. It doesn’t get better than this( Black Friday has nothing on these special events). At Shop Gotham, we know what’s what and only take our guests to those sample sales that are truly worthwhile. More importantly, join us in the private showrooms, where appointments are reserved only for us. Garment Center “Insider” Tours are monday, wednesday & Friday until December 20th.  www.shopgotham.com

August 18 and Augu 20th are the last days of Shop Gotham’s Garment Center “Insider” tour until Sept. Showrooms are loaded with early fall. Coming to NYC this week, this is could be the best shopping you will find. www.shopgotham.com

Goodness knows, there are seemingly infinite sites these days to buy fashion. Once in a while a different twist on shopping does pop up that’s worthy of note. Today it is Chic Tiq. www.chictiq.com.

Chic Tiq provides the name of every fashion boutique in NYC by neighborhood. Keeping this information current is not an easy feat.  Its’ interactive map allows the visitor to point to any respective neighborhood to see what to find there: store addresses and web links are included. What we find most appealing is the store Sale info noted on the left side of the page.

So for our Shop Gotham guests.. here is a recommended approach for your precious shopping time in NYC. Day I. Take one of our “insider” tours and reap the benefits of special deals and a guide to hold your hand. www.shopgotham.com

Day II. Pick a neighborhood to explore independently with the help of Chic Tiq. www.Chitiq.com 

After all, there is no better shopping in the world than in NYC!

The NYC convention bureau has just recognized Shop Gotham’s shopping tours as one of the 10 BEST tours in NYC! quite an honor. For more info, check out: http://www.nycgo.com/top-tours/5/

Shop Gotham is all about NYC; not just shopping. We share with you more reasons why NYC Rocks: 

1)Because: At 8:30 am this morning, the phenom country band Sugarland played in Central Park for free as part of the Good Morning America concert series.  New Yorkers not being ardent country music fans, the 150 or so watchers had a near private concert in the most perfect setting imaginable

2)Because Kelsey Grammer can be seen and not bothered while hanging out on Columbus Ave.

 3)Because most NYC women still have original unenhanced  “god-given” breasts.

4)Because if you ate out 3x a day 365 days a year, you would still not have covered all of the restaurants here (because 1/2 of those you ate in will have been replaced by another by year’s end)

5)Because today the cast of In the Heights played the cast of Billy Elliot today in teh Broadway Show League
