Shopping in New York or Washington?

Hi

I will be spending a few days in each of these places.
Any suggestions on where is a good place to shop for everyday goods?
Any thoughts about the King of Prussia Mall near Philadelphia?

My wife likes to shop for bargains - me, I like to watch other
shoppers if I have a place to rest my feet!

Thanks.

You can buy knock offs of just about any designer in Chinatown on
certain streets. There's also the old Hessadic Jewish section of town
near Hester Street. They have sidewalk sales on weekends. What kind of
everyday goods? There are discount drug stores and supermarkets all
over the city. At some of the Korean fruit markets I've picked up
really tasty fruits. King of Prussia is just like any shopping mall
anywhere in the country. Nothing really special there. The Meadowlands
outside of New York City has an outdoor mall. It's mostly factory
outletts, everything from Noritaki fine china to Champion Sportswear and
lots in between. Cranbury, NJ has a Lennox outlet that has some good
sales from time to time. I don't know if you have TJ Maxx, Marshalls or
Bob's Stores. Here in New Jersey you can get some really good buys at
these stores. TJ Maxx and Marshalls are mens and women's wear. Bob's
store is mostly mens casual and sports wear with some womens things and
a really good selection of sports and casual shoes. If you can spot a
Bob's along the highway, it'd be a good spot to pick up an extra pair of
walking shoes.

There is nothing to buy in DC.

Good point. And actually they're quite a bargain - it's almost alarming how
cheap most of them are.

I like Tysons Corner near Arlington. A very nice mall with a Rainforest
Cafe.

But NO Bargains. Tysons is not a cheap place. (and it is my local mall).

It is a very nice mall, but upscale.
