New Yorkers’ favorite fashion store? Anthro.


Zagat has just released their 2009/10 NYC Shopping Guide (highly recommended for visitors to this great city!) and Anthropologie got itself some love. Anthro was named “Top Fashion Store.” And even in this economy it was interesting to see that 24% of survey respondants said they were willing to spend more on “high quality items that last,” according to Zagat’s press release.

The other stores in the top 5 fashion stores were ALL chains (somewhat disappointing): 2. Banana Republic (still on my nanaban!); 3. Ann Taylor Loft; 4. Tiffany & Co; 5. H&M. Top department stores were: 1. Bloomingdale’s; 2. Century 21; 3. Macy’s; 4. Saks 5th Ave; 5. Bergdorf Goodman. On a related note, one of the frequent questions I get is where besides Anthro I like to shop in NYC. There are other places? Ha. I’m working on a mini-guide, hopefully for this weekend.

    Anthropologie is probably my favorite place to shop, followed by J. Crew, Target (yes, I buy stuff at Target – white t-shirts mostly) and H&M (again t-shirts). I like Anthropologie becuase – except for shoes- it's one stop shopping. I can get jeans, tops, sweaters, tanks, jackets, napkins, glasses, crayons for B. The list goes on. Actually all the places I mentioned are on stop shopping for me. I like to be as efficient as possible.

    i remember i saw an anthropologie store for the first time in new york city in 2004. it was almost adjacent to urban outfitters… i had gotten their catalogs but the stores weren't around me. :)h&m on 5th ave is a must for me in nyc (along with any city that has an h&m. i miss it so much!!) as well as marc by marc jacobs. 😀 plus, now there's topshop and i'd definitely swing by madewell next door since there isn't one here. i would have to save a lot of money before shopping in nyc. ;D

    Ooh you should work on a guidebook for NYC places to shop- I love shopping in NYC, just went shopping in SoHo today :). SoHo has great shopping, as does 5th avenue in the teens.

    Nice post!Now a days lot of designs have arrived in to men & womens fashion style. But one of the key items every men & woman should have is a pair of jeans that flatters your figure and can be dressed up or down.
