Radio City Apts - 17 years ago
I know its very far away but we are planning a trip to New York for early December this year. Ive heard that the Radio City Apts are excellent value and close to time square etc - is this true? When do the sales start at that time of the year and can anyone recomend good value places to shop other than the outlet centres?by Edel - Ask a New Yorker :
Re: Tours - 17 years ago
Definitely go to the Empire State Building, go shopping in Macys and Bloomindales, and for bus tours take greyline hop on hop off busses - great value. Make sure you try and see Central Park, the rockerfeller centre and radio city and also St. Patricks Cathedral and walk around time square and feel the buzz and exitement of it.

Jersey Gardens or Woodburry Common - 18 years ago
We are finally going to New York in 2 weeks time - last year we went to Woodburry Common and found it excellent - great bargains, shops etc. This year we are hoping to go back there but heard that Jersey Gardens is better - does anyone have any preferences and how do you get to Jersey Gardens from down town Manhattan? Unfortunately we will have time only for 1 of the outlet centres but is unsureby Edel - Ask a New Yorker :
Re: Woodbury Common Premium Outlets - 18 years ago
We went to Woodbury Common 12 mths ago - lots of bargains - a great place to shop. Certainly Manhattan you will find lots bargains too but we did purchase most of our stuff in Woodbury -especially in the likes of Levis and Nike while we were there. Macys is a great place to shop as well as Bloomindales etc.by Edel - Ask a New Yorker :
Re: Macys - 18 years ago

Macys - 18 years ago
Last year when my sister was in New York she brought back a Macys discount card which we used when we went there a couple of months later. This card gave us 11% off our total purchases. Does anyone know if we can get the card before we go to New York or can we pick one up over there when we arrive (we are living in Ireland so we would have to get it posted to us).by Edel - Ask a New Yorker :
Re: A trip in October - 18 years ago
We are going to New York in October - in 4 weeks time and I'm counting the days. It will be my 3rd time in New York - I think its the best place in the world to shop - so much better than Ireland anyway and much cheaper. Do try and go to Woodburry Common Outlet Centre for a day - great place and good reductions too. Its soo worth it. We will definitely be going there. Have a great holidby Edel - Ask a New Yorker :
