The best fashion and gift stores New York (Manhattan)

This record store, which is systematically mentioned in all the lists of the best record shops in New York, is a reference for soul and funk vinyls: many choices and many rarities on the program. There is also a very good selection of EPs and hip-hop, rock and electro albums. Amateurs risk losing their minds because the place is covered with vinyl from the walls to the ceiling! At the bottom of the store, turntables are available for customers to test the quality of the discs, all second-hand.

On the most active part of Broadway in shoes, at cheap prices, brands, Red Wing, Rockport, Ugg…

This gallery also supports emerging artists in all forms: collage, photo, painting and audiovisual.

A vintage boutique unlike any other! At Fabulous Fanny's, you can find pairs of glasses from another time, classified by style and size in drawer cabinets. The experience is really fun and you will have every chance to find... a mount on your nose! And as the motto of the store says If you have to wear them... make it fun. Apart from the glasses, we can find in this timeless shop bracelets and earrings, also rather crazy, as well as hats and some clothes.

A very good choice of pendants, bracelets and earrings. Price displayed a little but which is very fast as the discussion progresses. Good business opportunities.

Since the opening of this French bookstore in 2014, New York's Francophiles and Francophones have been delighted. Even if you don't have a book to buy, Albertine is worth a visit for its absolutely magnificent premises, in the old buildings of the cultural services of the French Embassy in the United States. The space was designed by the famous architect Jacques Garcia on the model of the beautiful French-style private libraries. The bookshop offers more than 14,000 French works in original or translated versions.

Opened for more than thirty years, this flea market is one of the oldest in the city, although it has long had a different name (most New Yorkers still call it the GreenFlea Market). It is also one of the only ones to change most of its exhibitors every week. There is absolutely everything and, as is often the case in places like this, you only leave with things you don't need... That's the magic of this market, where you can find handmade jewellery as well as furniture, vintage crockery and candles.

Spend a whole day in a unique hotel, it is possible. Martier is actually divided into three sections: a café, a chic shops, and a spa! You can choose the order of your activities!

The paradise of the hoodies. Thick, fine, colourful, unicolor, with or without pocket. The range of price is quite wide and allows everyone to find happiness.

Shoes, shoes and more shoes. This sneaker boutique shines for the originality of the sneakers it sells. You'll find all the major brands - Nike, Adidas, Vans, Reebok, New Balance, Converse - but only the most original pairs. You'll fall for the most retro pair of Air Jordans or the futuristic lines of a pair of Adidas shoes. Flight Club also sells sports team accessories, including baseball caps and NBA jerseys.

Located in the same building as another bargain store, T.J. Maxx, Marshalls is undoubtedly one of the favorite places for New Yorkers who like to shop. The store sells both men's and women's clothing and home decor, as well as bags, jackets and jeans at very low prices. Most of the time, these are branded products (Calvin Klein, Michael Kors, etc.), sold out because they are not selling well or have a small defect. Marshall's is also a good place to find original gift ideas.

Marc Williamson, dandy and leather craftsman, awaits you in his sumptuous boutique to help you find the right shoe for your foot, or rather a hat for your head. Definitely one of the most elegant shops in Harlem! If you are lost in this vast choice of hats in all colours and shapes, don't hesitate to ask Marc for advice. He's familiar with hats, you only have to look at him to see that he knows his subject! A lifestyle shopping experience for dads, uncles, brothers and sons, as we say here.

An Upper East Side institution, Argosy is New York's oldest independent bookseller. Founded in 1925, it occupies all six floors of this beautiful townhouse on 59th Street.

The favourite shop Q, the man with the gadgets of James Bond. You will find in Spy Shops all the variety of the perfect spy: mini cameras, movement detectors, glasses of night vision, etc.

This is the favorite store of the wealthy Upper West Side residents, especially those who are on the downward slope from their twenties to the late thirties! The shop offers chic, fairly conventional clothes of remarkable fabric quality. Americans call it the preppy style. The prices are rather attractive and, for small budgets, the dirty section is interesting, although limited. Mothers who wish to dress their children in an elegant way will find their happiness in the children's wing.

Schedule store of the chic J-Crew, Madewell is the younger and cool version. The quality of the fabric is still there and prices are much more reasonable. An address not to be missed for amatrices of summer dresses and dresses.

The kingdom of the shirt! If in France, the red plaid shirt is often associated with the lumberjack, it is on the other hand very trendy in New York. In winter, American Eagle Outfitters is the place to find the best flannel. You don't have to be in Alaska to wear them because of the weather in New York in January and February! In recent years, the brand has expanded its collection to offer more trendy clothes, in a more bohemian style but still comfortable.

The famous French ready-to-wear brand has a branch in New York. A little piece of France where you can buy chic and quality clothes. The prices are a little higher than in France, but the visit is worth it just for the places, fitted out like a real Parisian apartment.

The Upper East Side is not only home to luxury boutiques! This place will allow you to find fabulous second-hand clothes, most of them upscale, at unbeatable prices.

A concept store 2.0 on three floors, which highlights young innovative brands. More than a store, the place is at the crossroads between an art gallery and a shopping mall, where only trendy and cutting-edge objects are sold. It is very colorful, very design, in a word very "Instagrammable". You probably won't go shopping there, but it's worth the visit.

This huge store is a bargain store. Everything is organized by brands, and the choice is quite large, from Ralph Lauren to Quicksilver without forgetting many Levi's displays. Everything is sold at reduced prices. More than just clothes, you can find jewelry, lingerie, perfumes, gifts, objects for the house and especially for the kitchen, toys, luggage. These stores receive new arrivals every day, so there is no follow-up on the items offered. Patience and determination are therefore necessary to make good deals.

You don't really expect to find a store entirely dedicated to the world of J.K. Rowling's little wizard in New York, and yet... Here you can find everything related to Hogwarts and the wizarding world: prankster treats, limited edition books, capes, wands, stuffed animals, etc., all in a well-made decor. Upon exiting the store, visitors can even order the wizard's favorite beverage: a Butterbeer. For the hardcore fans, the store also offers two virtual reality experiences (ticket required).

This Danish boutique, which now has four addresses in the city, is a big hit with New Yorkers. There are all sorts of trinkets, useful or not, and original decorative objects. For the home, there are cushions, candles of all colours, funny mugs and storage boxes. Danish minimalism is having its little effect!
