If you are in Soho, some of my favorite stores can be found. To name a few, and there is Top Shop Topman, Uni qlo, Bloomingdales (Store Soho), Atrium, The Flying, What Goes Around Comes Around, and Inven.tory. This is a great mix of shops and small boutiques.
Atrium (Broadway and Bleeker) is a fashion boutique, a leader in casual wear. Inven.tory (my personal favorite), recently opened. Located in Lafayette Street and sell surplus inventory of high end stores, so there was some high quality clothes for a great price. A fly is half vintage and half of new things. If you are looking for a cool jacket or some older jeans, you’ll find there and the same type of material is also in What Goes Around Comes Around.
Top Shop / Topman also on Broadway. This store is also fairly new, brought from England. They carry a variety of things, facts, blouses, pants, shirts for men and women. Bloomingdales is the same too, but is a bit more expensive. Uni qlo is a department store in Asia, which specializes in denim. They are very good prices and great fit.
Some of my favorite restaurants. Everyone must try the corn at Cafe Habana on Elizabeth Street (be sure to go to the takeaway). If you are looking for a great sit down meal, then check out Balthazar. This is one of the best known restaurants in NYC and is a great meal at any time of day. For something a little more sexy, check out Elizabeth (this is the name of the restaurant) in Elizabeth Street. They make good drinks and have a nice area in the back with a retractable roof for summer!
