and much of the lower West Side. Due to the nature of our trip. I confess to spending much more time on Madison and Fifth Avenues than I did in Chelsea. Greenwich Village. SoHo and Chinatown where bargains abound and where shops carry everything from the edgy to the kitschy to the fake to the cheap. So I m going to share a little of both worlds with you. I also observed that in our corporate and global group travelers from different parts of the world very much wanted to buy very different stuff. While this will seem overly-simplified and perhaps a bit stereotypical the Western and Eastern Europeans desired American clothing (especially blue jeans). Clinique make-up iPods and

digital cameras while folks from the Asia-Pacific rim shopped for expensive (Italian and French) handbags. Almost everyone was in search of some type of electronic device with iPods and digital cameras being in the highest demand. The non-New Yorker Americans shopped for the run-of-the-mill. A-to-Z type bargain looking for anything and everything that was either less expensive or more available than it is back home. As this Newsletter spins round the globe.

in extremely high demand with prices out the roof. Our room at The Essex House overlooked Central Park and was absolutely glorious but my pockets wouldn t be deep enough if I had to pay for it with my own MasterCard this time of year.

Center among many other special dining treats. (I can hardly mention our private dinner party atop the ABC Studios in Times Square as it was one of the most incredible views as well as one of the most incredible experiences I ve ever had and one which I m sure I ll never have again). When my feet landed on NYC soil and I had to pay for things with my own nickel. I enjoyed a pressed sandwich at Europa Caf. Also check out Cosi for cheap eats in the Big Apple.

Want something somewhere between Michael Jordan s and Cosi? Try Cafe Saks Fifth Avenue (611 5th Avenue); Bloomingdale’s Le Train Bleu (1000 3rd Avenue); Bergdorf Goodman - Goodman’s Cafe for Women (2 West 58th Street); Bergdorf Goodman - Goodman’s Cafe 745 for Men (745 5th Avenue) or Fred’s at Barneys (660 Madison Avenue). I also have always had good luck at little bakeries strung along the Upper East Side on Madison. There s nothing wrong with coffee and a bran muffin for lunch after all. Or hot roasted chestnuts from the street vendors. Yum!

found this to be irresistible. As most of their shoes are in the $200-300 price range it s nice to think that one might save a little by buying now if treads are wearing thin. And one of the best reasons for buying their stuff: you can send your shoes back to Allen Edmonds for re-soling at least once before buying again.
Loehmann’s (101 7th Avenue between 16th and 17th Streets; phone 212-352-0856) remains one of my longest-running favorites and is by all counts the grand dame of discount stores. I bought a fabulous pair of beaded flats by Kenneth Cole for less than $30. With black and red beads on a black satin background they re perfect for Holiday
parties (with longish black-sequined peasant skirts and glittery tops). Loehmann s stuff changes daily so it s hit or miss. Keep checking. And get into shopping mode before you head over there; lines will be long the building is on the hot-ish side and you may have to spend an inordinate amount of time searching for something wonderful in your size. But it s worth it.
Century 21(22 Cortlandt Street– Between Church and Broadway in Chinatown; phone 212-227-9092; www c21stores com) has been billed by native New Yorkers as the best discount place in the city and Zagat has given it top billing as well.

walked out with nothing. Nadda. Zero. Truthfully it didn t grab me. Too much stuff. Poorly displayed. Not enough variety to make me want to pull out my wallet. But the Europeans on-board were thrilled. Great boots and shoes apparently. And lots of Ralph Lauren fashion jewelry at ridiculously low prices. Handbags too. Also spotted: trendoid Oliver Peoples sunglasses at rock-bottom prices. And if you re shopping for Clinique cosmetics you can find it here at really decent prices.
gotta have a drop-dead gorgeous Italian leather handbag for Christmas call the good folks at Suarez on Park Avenue at around 56th St. (450 Park Ave; phone 212-753-3758). A family-owned business for something like three generations their staff is courteous and their stuff is super-pretty. Their bags come in fourteen colors including an absolutely incredible Tiffany-blue. But your pockets better be deep: prices start at $300 and rocket on up from there. They re having somewhat of a sale with their $550-on-up bags currently at 20% off.

two sofas to reupholster and yada yada yada) that an expensive handbag was a little bit too over-the-top right now. Ernie and I opted instead to buy a gorgeous Italian handbag the Kelly Bag (think Grace Kelly) at a wonderful handbag store that is losing its building and combining two stores into one and therefore discounting all of its merchandise by 80%. Yes. As in 80% OFF. Their gorgeous $650 bags have been discounted to about $130. At that price you can perhaps think about buying one in a color you wouldn t normally entertain and if you accidentally ruin one you won t be crying all the way back to the city to get a replacement.

you might even be able to justify buying two. Call Michel s Bags (510 Madison Avenue between 52nd and 53rd Sts; phone 212 355-8309).

probably be it. I did however make my only afternoon purchase because I hadn t seen them elsewhere: pretty glycerine soaps for children with embedded cute-isms like smile joy laugh love etc. I bought a half-dozen to give to a family with four young daughters along with silk draw-string bags in orange-with-white-polka-dots for festive packaging. All for something like $18.

hey for ten bucks how can you go too wrong? I pick one up each trip into the city and have found some real beauties. The color range is quite wonderful. Yum. The latest have a gorgeous jacquard weave and I find one wrapped around my neck at every venture out of doors. Particularly good locations? Try just west of Fifth Avenue around 50th or 51st Streets.
Gotta hit the large department stores? OK. So do I but not for bargains. They remain. I admit a feast for the eyes and a veritable New York experience. You ve got to get the salespeople spritzing you with the latest perfumes and schmearing you with the latest anti-wrinkle creams upon arrival. No

one does this better than the good folks at Saks Fifth Avenue (50th St and Fifth Avenue) Very elegant. Very expensive. Really no bargains to be found except after Christmas when discounts of 50% will be commonplace. I love their contemporary sportswear and their private label. Beautiful night show of dancing snowflakes in the windows timed to Christmas music. Magical. Bloomingdale s (Third Avenue and 59th Street or in SoHo at 504 Broadway; phone 212-729-5900) is trendy bustling and exciting. Their tagline it’s like “no other store in the world” is true. They carry some pretty cool stuff that you just won t find anywhere else. Watch for deep discounts but not until after Christmas. Some bargains can actually be

found at Lord & Taylor (38th St and Fifth Avenue) as they are continually bringing in new merchandise. Granted: most of the NYC stores are doing the same but Lord & Taylor does this consistently and does it well. One of my favorites. Bergdorf Goodman (754 Fifth Avenue at 57th St.; the men’s store is located across the street. Phone: 800-558-1855) is not a store that you necessarily shop in and is certainly not a place in which to behold a bargain. It is simply a place to train your eye. To look at beauty (and the beautiful). Their windows are the best-dressed and the same could be said for their (real) customers. Lines of gawkers outside their blue-and-white china

to the brim with treasures and rugs from around the world. Not to be missed you ll find things in all price ranges including arguably the best baby department in the city. Pierre Deux (625 Madison Ave at around 56th St; phone 212-521-8012) is not only for the Francophiles amongst us; it is a jewel box in the heart of Madison Avenue. Roosters lurk in every corner; gorgeous French fabrics fill every square inch; expensive furniture lines the downstairs footage; and reproduction paintings and lamps and shades and china take center stage through this large retail space. Ahhh. A little retreat into wonderful.
