Not too expensive though!! I'm going there Thursday for my spring break and I want to know which part of New York City to go to which has the best shopping... also any favorite stores?

1. Here's a quick breakdown for you: Chinatown (Canal Street) = tourist central. tons of girls looking at endless blocks of designer knock-offs, novelty items Spring Street = My personal favorite. Tons of cool clothing stores to fit every kind of style (take 6 train to spring and just walk it) Manhattan Mall area (34 and broadway) = the mall itself is not too exciting but within a few blocks are all kinds of cool stores (mainly for chicks). Macys (6 or 7 floors) is right next door, while the garment district starts only 5 or 6 blocks south, still on broadway. Soho= lots of fancy little boutiques. some VERY expensive, some cheap. nice area to walk around and window shop regardless Saks = Super expensive name brands but great variety of stores in the area
2. 5th Avenue has the best high quality stores. Most of them are fairly expencive though.
3. NYC is Great! I suggest you to go to the Rockefeller Center. It is really cool and fun to be in there, you would enjoy the shops, ice skating rink, museums, and the city itself. I also would suggest you to visit Time Square, and Broadway Theater. There are awesome areas and places in New York City. You will love it! Enjoy!
4. My friend, one world, Chinatown, the best place to by inexpensive bags, watches and the works. You can get everything all along Canal Street. Take any subway line to Canal Street. Good luck Native New Yorker
