NYC Shopping Districts

...
* Antiquarian Books - The area on and around W. 18th and W. 19th St. between 5th and 6th Ave. has become a Mecca
...for folks hunting for used and out of print books. While the Strand bookstore a little further south remains the grand
...father of all used bookstores, this neighborhood now boasts scores of small and not-so-small shops and stores where
...you can find just about any book imaginable. The Barnes & Noble Sales Annex, Academy Book Store, and the
...Metropolitan Book Auction are just a few places to look.
* Antiques - If you are looking for really elegant pieces and money is not a concern, try some of these galleries. Place
...des Antiquaries on 135 E. 57th St., between Park and Lexington Ave., and in the tri-level Manhattan Art & Antiques
...Center at 2nd Ave. and E. 50th St.. You will also find many varying shops on Broadway south of Union Square, in
...Greenwich Village, and throughout the Upper East side, and the South Bronx.

...diamonds and other jewelry.Fabric, Beads, and Trimming-This area is in the upper West 30's and lower West 40's,

...between Leonard and Broome streets.
* Fish - The Fulton Fish Market continues to thrive as the city's source of fresh fish and seafood. 125 million pounds of
...seafood are sold here annually. The market operates between midnight and 8 a. m. in the South Street Seaport at the
...eastern end of Fulton St., just above the financial district.
* Flowers-The area between W. 26th and W.30th St. and 6th and 7th Ave. remains the place to get the best possible
