Midtown Manhattan Shopping Tour (Self Guided), New York

Midtown Manhattan, alongside other things, is also the shopping hub for New York City. Attesting to this are the ever-busy Times Square and Rockefeller Center areas replete with designer goods offerings and street vendors at every corner.

The famed Fifth Avenue has long been synonymous with a shopper's paradise where you can find every kind of store imaginable, ranging from the affordable to ultra-fancy fashion brands and luxury goods. Whether it’s Prada, Tiffany or Bergdorf Goodman, these brands, among many others, symbolize wealth and social standing, so if you happen have a lot of money, Fifth Avenue is a good place to spend it. In any case, it is worth checking its unique heartbeat.

Strolling around town, here and there, you can't help noticing a recognizable Big (or Little) Brown Bag from Bloomingdale’s. Their flagship store on Lexington Ave is a must-see for shopping aficionados of all stripes, and it carries from pricey luxury designs to the more contemporary and affordable items. To blend with the crowd, just swing by Bloomie’s, pick up an item and then walk proudly with the most iconic shopping bag in NYC! Indeed, why don't ya!

Lexington Avenue is also the location of several other well-known retailers like Zara, Levi's, and Nine West. Still, most of its stores are lesser-known boutiques with unique products, offered at reasonable prices and in a less touristy atmosphere (compared to the always crowded Fifth Avenue and Madison).

So, if you want to treat yourself to a bit of shopping therapy, whilst in New York City, join us on this self-guided walking tour and explore some of Midtown Manhattan’s best and most fabulous shopping locations!
