If power
shopping is one of your favorite sports, get ready for a fabulous workout. Glitzy shops make
New York City America's premiere shopping destination, of course, but real shoppers know that there's more great shopping beyond Fifth Avenue and Soho. Whether you want to splurge on a new wardrobe or find bargains on gifts and home furnishings, malls and outlets throughout the entire state of New York have just what you're looking for.
For your warm-up, have lunch and take in the views. From
Tanger Outlet Center near
Long Island's
wine country, to
Fashion Outlets Niagara Falls, many shopping centers are surrounded by beautiful scenery. In the
Adirondacks, you'll find 70 factory outlets at
Lake George, and
Champlain Centre mall sits right beside Lake Champlain.
Amid the
Finger Lakes, discover
Waterloo Premium Outlets and
Carousel Center, where you can take a break to ride the painted ponies. Shop for more beautiful bargains at the
Syracuse China outlet. Check out new specialty shops, like LL Bean, Sephora and FAO Schwarz, at
Colonie Center in Albany. Nearby, Crossgates is a mega-mall with a brand new IMAX theater.
In the scenic
Hudson Valley, 150 stores at
The Westchester include Neiman Marcus and Tiffany's. Bargain hunters flock to
Woodbury Common, which boasts the world's largest collection of designer outlets, from Armani to Zegna.
