Huge inventory, outrageous bargains, couture and ready-to-wear. This is the largest of the NYC stores. Don't expect to find clerks on the floor. If you need help, check the dressing room area.

Essentials

For those day to day needs. Especially useful for long term stays.
There are a lot of nice supermerkets here, but my favorite is City Fresh. They have a great fresh fish department. It even has live lobster. (of course being that this is Spanish Harlem, there's even a place to by live chickens!)

There are lots of ways to get around New York, but your best bet is the subway!
