My friend, the best thing to do this take the subway, its cheaper than a taxi and a lot faster than a taxi. Now, I don’t know what park of Manhattan you’re going, because you did not specified the hotel you staying in, that way I would have help you a lot better. Just e-mail me by clicking on the avatar and the e-mail icon and I be glad to help with directions.
Next, shopping. For the best bargains, my best bet will be Chinatown, home to the famous knock off (aka fakes). You can everything down there, everything from handbags to watch at bargain basement prices. If preferred for something of higher quality, here is a list of store you can look into.
Shopping
-Macy’s (West 34th Street and Broadway in the heart of Hearld Square)
-Bloomingdale’s (Lexington Avenue at East 59 and East 60 Streets)
-The shops along Fifth Avenue (just don’t max out you credit cards)
-FAO Schwarz
-Toys "R" Us in Times Square
-Lord and Taylor (5th Avenue at East 38th Street)
-Chinatown/Canal Street Area (if you want to go on the cheap for the stuff you can’t get on Fifth Avenue)
-NBA Store (for the basketball fan – 5th Avenue at East 52nd Street)
-The Apple Computer Store (East 59th Street and Fifth Avenue)
-The Time Warner Center (West 59th Street – Columbus Circle)
-Hershey Store (for those with a sweet tooth)
-Grand Central Terminal (for the shopping)
-H&M
-Century 21 Department Store (Church and Cortlandt Street)
-forever 21
I hope this information was very helpful. Good luck and happy travel.
