With the exchange rate being in my favour, I jetted off to the Big Apple a few weeks ago, with hundreds of dollars in my pocket, an empty suitcase in my hand and bargain-hunting on the brain.

Of course the best way to find the quirky and unknown shops is to invest in some comfy shoes and walk everywhere. By using the subway and taxi’s, you leave so many places undiscovered! But you’ve got to start somewhere haven’t you? Try picking a few mainstream, flagship stores from my Big New York List and see what you might find when walking inbetween.
