What to buy from NYC (new home/gadgets)?

rossyl · 7 Oct 2008 at 10:41

I'm going to NYC in a couple of weeks, and am wondering what to buy.

Firstly, I am moving into a new place that will require furnishing - obviously i can't bring home a sofa! But ideas in relation to that would eb good.

Also gadgets. Thought about maybe a Wii? But would i encounter problems as it would be a USA version? Would it work with my TV? Games bought here work etc?

Other things, I've got a Archos player, the iPod touch would be nice - but I don't think it can play half as many of the formats the Archos can.

Any other good ideas?

Thanks

I really don't want to tun this into a "what to buy in Bangkok" thread but, whereavouts do you buy from when out there?

Back to NYC

Okay - no Wii.
Camera a maybe.
Not sure about clothes, might try and get a pair of jeans that actually fit.

Smart shirts and casual shirts - any tips where to buy?

For clothes, New York is amazing. Abercrombie and Fitch have some massive bargains compared to here. GAP had cheap jeans too.

For electricals, once you add the 4% sales tax on it's not that much cheaper. Especially with the exchange rate at the moment. Do your homework before you go to get the best bargains.

CLOTHES i think is what's on the agenda.

Abercrombie and Fitch is a good idea. Thanks.

May try Gap as well, I'll have a hunt for websites that ssist in NYC clothes shopping breaks.
