About this title

Review:

Everyone's on the move in New York City, and every second counts. Every dollar counts, too, and so does quality. Whether you live and work in New York or are passing through, you need Suzy Gershman's Born to Shop New York to help you emerge from the frenzy with the best prize for the least money grasped firmly between your teeth. She tells you where to go if you're in the neighborhood (Midtown, Soho, or the Upper West Side), where to shop if it's late at night, where the bargains are, and where to find a specific item, from active wear to vintage. She shoehorns in advice on where to stay and where to eat, and still the guide is compact enough to fit in a purse or back pocket.
