If you are shopping for new shoes, New York is the perfect
destination. Partially because real state is so expensive in NYC, there are
fewer large department stores and more specialized boutiques. Sure the city has
Macy’s, Bloomingdales, Barney’s, Lord & Taylor, etc., but many other big
stores do not venture into the city.
The city has many distinct sections that have trendy
consumers as well as trendy boutique owners. Sometimes finding a fascinating
shoe boutique in New York is as simple as stepping into Soho, Greenwhich
Village, Nolita, etc.
