When I was young and my daughter was little we went with my Chinese Aunt and my Italian Uncle all the time. I'm proud of the cool photos I've taken over the years. Canal Street is great for tourists to purchase souvenirs. I've known my friends that visit get knock off designer bags. You gotta know how to haggle over price. I'm Not interested i want the real designer bag! Do yourself a huge favor and go for the day! It's a wonderful experience.

Canal Street with all its hustle and bustle offers up a multitude of shopping. From Chinese…read morespecialty shops, boutique stores, touristy junk spots, souvenir shops, Asian restaurants, and sidewalk food stands. Its definitely a place targeted to tourists nowadays but as a local if you're looking for something specific its a cool part of town to shop or dine at. Beware of the fake designer bags and watches being hawked as you walk by! I went to a wedding not too long ago and needed to pick up a red envelope for a cash gift and found a small store with a terrific selection. You can find so much packed into these places in Chinatown.

Splurge on hearty, healthy eats, salad/food bar, vast options prepared as you wait. I can't think of a type of freshly prepared food. This is a perfect place for families visit NYC, near a start to the day or come for lunch or dinner -- the world is you rusted. It is well run, organized, plenty of options maybe too many but all options are solid! You face diner food, breakfast food, fresh juices and smoothed, food bar full of options if you're on the run, a fab Udon and Ramen options, pastries. You think it changes they they have. We,he been big fans of their delicious bagel options and açaí bowels. Endless amounts of if drinks, prepared fruits...honestly I can keep going. The folks running this large space have ever nothing but nice, no rushing and even a tiny rude vibe if it take a moment to ok. Friendly and good experience all around. One challenge we can was having a place to sit comfortably to eat and this place as plenty of seating on the second floor for you to take your own and enjoy all you've order. I highly commended for the solo and the family visitors. Def if you're up for ramen or udon try those too! Burgers and fresh made breakfast look quite good. Prices are far and portions are plenty! Support this place, you won't be disappointed.

They also had breakfast sandwiches , oatmeal and few other options . Got bagel with 2 eggs . actually it was cheap - 4$ .. other places they charge around 6-7$ . Value for money . Took it and ate after 10 mins and it was kind of soggy . Should have had it then and there . Wish they had more pepper and salt .. coffee was average . Good experience overall . 4 stars ..

The Shops and Restaurants at Hudson Yards is one of the prettiest malls I have been to. Not only is…read moreit immaculate but this multi level mall has everything and anything your little heart desires. From high end shops to affordable. The most expensive starting from the main level haha. It faces the Vessel which is a honeycomb structure that you can purchase tickets and climb. Well worth it as the views would be incredible. Hudson Yards is easy to get to by subway namely the 7 train as it lets you off practically at its doorstep. My tip is to wear comfy shoes and go hungry as you will not only get your steps in but have lots of food options from casual to sit down. Indeed something for everyone. There are just too too many stores to name but if you love to shop, like myself you will be bedazzled. Ahead of schedule, I went on their website so I could plan out my day. I was definitely blown away by all my favorite stores and then some. Additionally in my opinion it's the perfect place to be on extremely hot days and whenever there's rain. Or any time of year haha. Do not miss the lower level Mercado little Spain. Here you can have a small bite, a drink, a full on meal or a sweet treat if you like Spanish foods. You have got to check it out! If you are a shopper and a foodie, this is your place!!!

This mall style structure has been around since 2019, when they first opened they only had a few…read morestores and eateries opened. Fast forward to 2026 and they have a variety of eateries and specialty shops where you can find clothes, chocolates, and eyewear. The service in many of the sit-down eateries I've visited have been great! The quick service eateries are also good options to grab something on the go. You can visit this shopping mall and easily stay for several hours depending on what you're planning on doing. The stores and restaurants vary in price-range therefore it can be economical or expensive, depending on your specific visit. It's a great place to take out-of-towners who want to see something slightly different from the views of mid-town shopping centers.

The stalls are currently offering: tanghulu (candied fruit), jewelry, clothing, Filpino baked goods, and NYC souvenirs. These items can be easily found for cheaper prices and since these stalls are tiny, the selection is subpar too.

The barista asked me what my preference was for the matcha latte( more or less matcha in the drink). They made my drink efficiently each time (not a long wait). Also, their costumer service is really great! I had cracked my cup (my fault). They quickly replaced my drink with no extra charge! This will be one of my staple cafes while I'm in NYC.

They have a nice selection of cookies. My gal pal got also got something at Bird & Branch. Once you walk into Pier 57 and head straight into Market 57 on the left-hand side is City Winery NYC after that you will see Bird & Branch. There were tables and chair where you can sit at Market 57 to enjoy your meal. The staff makes pretty design on the foam when you get a cappuccino. Will be back again to try their other products.

But we really enjoyed the service from the Brazilian sandwich stall, as well as the hibachi stall for their shrimp dumplings for their value! On a positive note, the variety of alcoholic beverages was excellent throughout the market- the best of any market we visited in the city this year.

The space feels more like a luxury Parisian apartment than a traditional department store, with beautiful interiors, unique design details, fashion, beauty products, home décor, and several food and beverage concepts all under one roof. The space is immersive and visually beautiful. The store blends shopping, dining, and hospitality together, making it enjoyable even if you're just walking around and exploring. There are exclusive French brands, stylish cafés, champagne bars, and elegant rooms throughout the store, including the famous Red Room with its stunning historic design.

When I first visited because I was with someone who does not shop, my visit was cut short and thought it was a very small branch of the one in Paris. This time I went alone and discovered the sprawling place and more areas to shop. There were new dining areas I found too. All I can say is I highly recommend this shopping place. Go visit and if you do not come out shopping I hope you are or had some coffee to relax with.

This review is only for the Essex Market (Lower Level) store…read more This is a sub-version of the original store (never been), but the items/merchandise are all the same. However, the Essex Market location has the bells and whistles that comes with the ever-fancy public market. The industrial decor and crowds give this place a very unique touch. Larry, the manager is informative and really knows how to explain in detail, the variety of choices. There is the convenience of sampling the food items, and there are different container sizes. Furthermore, Apple pay is available, as well. Although the other staff members are just as nice with service, it is best to work with Larry! Great personality, too! At first glance right when you reach the lower level, this store is not easy to spot. You'd have to circle around and find it. Luckily, the area is not too vast where one can get really lost. However, it kind of works out that the site is located not too out in the open, so the public eye won't be able to easily spot you sampling pickles. =X The choices are not limited to cucumbers, even though that is probably the most commonly known. They have nontraditional funky stuff like mangos and other fruits. The most interesting is probably pickled garlic - which may work in conjunction with cooking dishes. Hope everyone will be able to support excellent local businesses like this one!
