This is shopping in New York City at its most gritty and glorious, where you can find designer and knock-off designer bags, scarves, souvenirs of every description, and much, much more, all for always-affordable prices. This crowded neighborhood is a mecca for bargain hunters, especially those who like to haggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But beware \u2013 the shops are full of savvy businessmen\/women so try to have a specific idea of what you\u2019re looking for before you go\u2013especially if you\u2019re after name brands. If you want a specific designer, be sure to ask\u2014most shop owners have the brand or knock-off version on sight, but they may be keeping it in a back room. Remember that you can often get deals if you buy more than one item\u2014why pay more for one purse when you could get two for the same price?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nearly everything is negotiable on Canal Street. If you\u2019re on the east side of Canal Street, you\u2019re essentially in Chinatown. So if you have a hankering for great soup dumplings or some noodles, you have to check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/devourtours.com\/blog\/manhattan-chinatown-restaurants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">restaurants in Chinatown<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Insider&#8217;s Tip<\/strong>: Some stores might be cash only, so take money out before you head down to Canal Street.

One of our favorite events there is the annual flower show, where each year the first two floors are transformed into an organic wonderland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bloomingdale\u2019s is another must-see.
