Holiday Windows in NYC


Holiday Windows are popping up at our favorite retailers throughout the city-the best time of year. It’s like visiting an outdoor fashion museum, but for free! Join the fun and excitement this holiday season, grab a coffee, take a stroll & enjoy the Holiday Windows along Fifth Avenue.

An ideal afternoon: Start with us, Shop Gotham, in the historical Garment District. Our fashionable and chic tour guides will navigate you through the city’s ultimate shopping mecca: private wholesale designer showrooms and plentiful designer sample sales. Since you will be in the “holiday shopping spirit” after all of your fab purchases on our tour, pop over to Bryant Park for a quick lunch break. Check out the Winter Village shops at Bryant Park and ice skating rink as well, it’s quite the social scene! Pop over towards 5th Avenue and walk (slowly) uptown towards Central Park @59th St and “window shop” into the sunset!!

Our Favorite Time, Sample Sale Season!


If you are coming to New York City soon there is something very important you should know: there are already 43 sample sales to shop this month, and it’s only the second week of June!! Sample Sale High Season is upon us and we always recommend to strike while the sales are hot!

This Spring designers are jumping on the ‘sample sale’ trend and amping up our shopping experience with more sales than we’ve ever seen at this time of year before. Some major designer sales for the upcoming month include: Helmut Lang, Alice + Olivia, Tory Burch, Nanette Lepore & La Perla

Sample sales offer more for your money and designer pieces that are one of a kind. Discounts tend to range between 50-85% off retail prices you would find in a store and they are first come first serve so get there early!
