Hey!

I am going to New York soon, and I really want to know what stores I must go to!
Makeup ofcourse (MAC, Sephora etc?!), clothing stores, etc...
I have never been to the USA before so I am really excited

Definitely MAC Pro! There's also a Make Up For Ever store in Greenwich Village.

Toys R Us in Times Square is pretty fun, too. Sure, it's toys for kids, but there's a ferris wheel in there!!

There are lots of shops in Soho (highenders galore and lots of unique stuff)...check those out.

My two must stops when I head home are Ricky's at 375 Broadway for beauty stuff and Century 21 on Cortlandt St. for high end discounts. There is all sorts of great shopping downtown. Little Italy has a great setup for starting out designers on the weekends set up in a school auditorium too.

Canal St. and the surrounding area is great for knock off bags and watches in secret rooms at the back of the stores and on the street. Bring cash and don't be afraid to bargain!

I agree with the poster above, Ricky's is a must! There are several in the city, just check for the locations close to where you will be. Henri Bendel has a great makeup department, as does Bergdorf Goodman. I always buy cosmetics, candles, perfumes from those two that I don't see anywhere else. Pearl River Mart is another great place, but not for cosmetics. Go down to Canal St and get great sunglasses, 2 for $10.00, clutches, hats, etc..
HTH! Have a great trip.

You are going to have SO MUCH FUN!!! I'm so excited to head back and visit my folks in 2 weeks!

Little Italy and Soho, IMHO, are the best stops for shopping, Barney's and Clyde's on Madison Ave. are also fun stops, but mega expensive.

You also must try a Gray's Papaya hot dog and pina colada (multiple locations), John's Pizzeria on Bleecker or Patsy's on University are great pizza places, and you really can't beat the Chinese food in NYC. Try and take in a Dim Sum brunch while you're in town!

PS: If you're Dutch (which I gather you are), you have an advantage! The NYC accent comes from a Dutch/British mix so Dutch tourists who learn British English always sound like NYC locals! I was a tour guide at one of the museums for 5 years and the Dutch always stumped all of us!

If you've got plenty of spending money, I would suggest the Anna Sui boutique. It's a really cute store, and some of the items are more affordable - jewelry, etc. I've always had good luck finding stuff there.

Have fun on your trip!

I have to second the suggestions to check out SOHO and NOLITA... wear comfortable shoes and be ready to walk. And please don't neglect West Boardway. If you go on a weekend there will be tons of street vendors all over the place. Be safe and have fun.
