The Ultimate (UPDATED) New York Shopping Guide

Google maps, premade shopping routes and a Sephora haul...

Last year, I compiled my ‘Ultimate New York Shopping Guide’, but since I visited NYC again last week, there’s even more to add to the list. So consider this the freshly updated version to bookmark.

If you’re after general New York recommendations, then Monday’s post is the one you want (or maybe my Google Map that’s been viewed almost half a million times? - my claim to fame!!), but if you’re here for pure shopping suggestions, then this is the post for you. Whether it’s world-class flagships that you’re after, or neighbourhoods where vintage shops outnumber the new ones, it’s got you covered. The research for this post spans over three years and four trips, so let me tell you, it’s BEEFY.

This post includes:

• Cliffnotes for my top recommendations for flagships, secondhand and vintage shopping, beauty and jewellery.

• A shopping-centric, colour-coded, easy-to-navigate Google Map.

• The BEST (and probably the only) vintage Levi’s denim spot to add to your list. I left with a whopping THREE pairs!!!

• Afternoon-long shopping routes (that include food stops too!) across three different neighbourhoods in the city.

• Plus a Sephora haul video thrown in for good measure.
