[patry]

sorry is not about cruise since iam from south america i wanted to know the name of the buliding were buyers get clothing at wholesale prices??? any idea

[smkerry]

No from NY, but spent a lot of time there on business. A place that my wife likes that had really low prices is Century 21 downtown west of Broadway on Cortland.

I agree I think you are talking about Century 21, downtown near the WTC site. Many designers have sample sales but you need to know someone or luck into an invite.

Here is a link for the store.

It is downtown NYC right next to Ground Zero.

the Fashion District is in the high 30's to middle 40's... you can get some wholesale stuff up there... they don't sell retail...

 

I believe that you're talking about Century 21...

 

Like the other posters said... it's on Cortland... right across from Ground zero.

This question is a joke, right?

[celtic selke]

Huh? Why would it be a joke? Perhaps the OP is taking a trip to NYC and politely asked for the information.

Nobody buys retail in NY - but like the other posters - I think you are looking for Century 21. There are other places though like Syms and Mens Wearhouse for guys

Lohmans and Filenes Basement for Women

I'm sorry, but this smacks of crass commercialism. There are literally hundreds of places where you can buy clothes at "wholesale prices." I find it VERY interesting that only one was highlighted!

[templed]

um... yogi... no disrespect... but... why?

 

I look at C21 all day long... I work in 1 wfc .... it's the first thing that comes to my mind when someone mentions clothes at discounted prices....

 

crass commercialism? I think not...

 

I think maybe the OP's intent was "discount"... not wholesale...

[yogimax]

Hey Templed,

I'm sorry, but as a native New Yorker, I find it hard to believe that there is only ONE place to buy discounted clothes in the city. Come to my habs in Astoria and I'll show you great places on Steinway Street.

[templed]

Agreed.....

 

I don't shop for discounted clothes in Manhattan... but... as a tourist... would you suggest that you send them off to Astoria... or 89th st. in Brooklyn?

 

 

LOL...

[smkerry]

The OP is probably visiting Manhattan, not LI. I doubt some tourist from another country unfamiliar with NYC is going to venture across the East River. I don't live in NY but used to travel there often and C21 is the place that stuck out in my mind.

 

The other poster works at 1WTC. That's right there and the person probably looks at C21 all the time. We were all just trying to tell this person about the place that a tourist would most likely go to save $ on fashions.

 

Like we have some allegiance to the place or get a kickback for mentioning it?

 

GEEZ

[yogimax]

Agreed.....

Hey Templed, Yeah, I'd definitely welcome them in Astoria. I'd also happily send them off to Brooklyn. Let's face it - that's what NYC is all about - Astoria, Flushing, Staten Island, da Bronx, anywhere there's an orange cat!!!

My family still lives in Brooklyn and I can call them to ask, but I have a questions since I no longer live in Brooklyn and have been in San Diego since 1982, I remember the areas in Manhatten like Delancy street and Orchard street? those where the best places to shop, do they still exist?

Yes, they sure do, but areas like Flushing and Astoria have come into play in the last 20 years. Flushing, especially, has become a shopper's "paradise."

[mabinbklyn]

Orchard Street still has a lot of stores, but as discounting has become broader, it's less of a destination for shoppers.
