From clothing to electronics and collectibles, New York City is home to a variety of stores that cater to all types of shoppers. If you’re planning a trip to the Big Apple, you should figure out what type of shopping you want to do and your transportation requirements beforehand. With proper planning, you’ll have more fun on the adventure and return home with a few new belongings to cherish. If you’re planning a spree, here’s what you need to know.  

A Guide for New York City Shoppers

1. Map a Route

If you already know of a few stores you want to visit, pull up the addresses on Google Maps. You can see how close one destination is to the next. Start at the store farthest east and work your way to the west side or start in the south and travel north. Eliminating a lot of back and forth will cut down on travel time, giving you more time to shop.    

2. Research Sample Sales

There are several event spaces throughout New York City that host numerous sales throughout the year, where designers sell excess merchandise at discounted prices. Tourism bureaus and city magazines often post event calendars with sample sale information online. 

3. Invest in Private Transportation

Carrying bulky, heavy boxes and bags through the crowded streets of New York can be cumbersome. If you rely on public transportation to get from place to place, there’s also the risk of leaving parcels behind as you exit a bus or subway train. That’s why you should use a private car service for transportation during your shopping trip. You can keep items safely on the seat beside you or inside the trunk until you reach the next destination.
