This beautiful brick building dates from 1712, when it was used as a residence and apothecary's shop. The bookstore it houses was established in the 19th century (1828). At the time, it was a meeting place for contemporary writers. In its shelves you will find Henry Longfellow, Nathaniel Hawthorne and Charles Dickens. Today it is still a bookstore, which also sells souvenirs and postcards. Because of its historical aspect, the Old Corner Bookstore is one of the sites of the Freedom Trail.

A controversial and often criticized brand in the United States (its president, very megalomaniac, refuses that the "ugly ones" wear his clothes...) but which still appeals as much to American and European teenagers. In New York, Abercrombie has chosen a huge space with the appearance of a nightclub: subdued or even dark lights, black and minimalist decoration, top model sellers, music at full speed, and clothes highlighted as works of art. Surprising for a cool and not overpriced sportswear brand, but an obvious sign of its success.

New Yorkers love Apple products (you'll have noticed that New Yorkers live with their iphone iphone), so there's often a lot of Apple store, a concept store with impeccable design, and glass.

Bloomingdale's is the fruit of a long passion between New York and fashion. With its ten floors and four-block perimeter, Bloomies can claim to be the best department store in the world. It's a far cry from the small fashion boutique created around 1870 by the Bloomingdale brothers. In the 1960s and 1970s, it was fashionable to shop here on Saturday afternoons. The tradition is still alive and well, and customers come out with their arms full of the symbolic brown bags. Women's, men's and children's fashions, household linen, furniture and interior design.

This huge store has long been a Gap brand, before becoming an independent brand thanks to its excellent turnover. The style is more or less the same as Gap (a little more relaxed), the quality is not quite equal but remains good, and above all, the prices are much lower. Jeans are sold at reasonable prices, but it is mainly on t-shirts that we can do business. There is a department for each member of the family. So we can redo our wardrobe without ruining ourselves.

In Manhattan, Gap shops flower almost every block, so it's difficult to miss them. Lexington is one of the largest in the chain. Everything we love in American fashion, basic, casual, cheap, is there. It's too tempting, because it's the kind of clothing you want to wear one day or just when you don't want to make the show-off. For men, women, children and even babies, cotton sweaters, rugbymen shirts, jackets of all colours, jeans of all shapes and sizes, shorts, white shirts and little gifts for everyone (caps, socks, belts, scarves). In short, a life to dress in Gap and no longer swear only by Gap.

It is no longer necessary to present Ralph Lauren, emblem of the American style, or his superb private mansion dating from 1880 furnished in the English style. They are in fact two shops: the old one houses men's fashion and the one opposite, inaugurated in 2011, is dedicated to women's fashion and decoration. Surprisingly, the building looks old but it is indeed extremely recent, like the vintage clothes of Mr Ralph Lauren, perhaps. One visit to this store and you'll probably come out with a few polo shirts under your arm!
