Reviews for New York, NY, USA

Apple's flagship store is a truly landmark at the southeast corner of Central Park, despite the fact that the entire store is under the street level. Only the entrance, a huge glass cube with simple Apple logo and nothing else, is visible to the street. But that is just enough to guide people to the... More >

Apple Store is the coolest place to buy Macs, accessories and software in the big apple. The shop is very airy and filled with exciting Apple gadgets. Expect to find all the latest stuff there.

The first floor hosts most of the gadgets and on the second room you find Genius Bar, where you can ask... More >

Brooklyn Industries manufactures trendy garments that are somehow related to the neighbourhoods of Brooklyn. Usually it is an image on a t-shirt, but the connection can be more subtle.

The best way to buy Brooklyn Industries stuff is to go to Brooklyn. They have one outlet in Williamsburg on Bedf... More >

Café Metro is a small chain of coffeeshops around Manhattan. We had the pleasure of living in a hotel next to one outlet on 54th Street and 7th Avenue. As most of the hotel packages in the States do not include breakfast (and the breakfast is priced to ridiculous levels), Café Metro was our salvat... More >

The selection is huge, as usual in Chinese restaurants. The food is good basic Chinese food, nothing special, but the price / quality ratio is very satisfying.

The restaurant is a small and a little... More >

Diesel has a two-storey store at the Union Square park. The store has a smallish ground floor and a bigger basement, thus the size of the place is not imminent from the streets.

The store is worth of a visit, if you are a fan of Diesel garments. The selection is good and the prices are not bad --... More >

Duke's Deli is a collection of small, seemingly individual caterers that provide salads, snacks, Chinese food, sushi, pasta and a wide variety of other foods.

You pick up your food and drinks from any stall you like, and then pay to the cashier. There are some seats available inside the place, bu... More >

If you are interested in buying brands for less, some people advice you to the discount stores in the city centres. Filene's Basement, located in the neighbourhood of Boston financial district, is one of these chain stores.

You could find some real bargains from that place, but they are far and b... More >
