Shoppers (or window-shoppers) paradise......

By friedclam on Aug 31, 2008
4/5
For high-end shopping, there is no place like it. You can find all the designer stores here. Even if you can’t afford them, it is fun to see Hermes, Dolce and Gabbana, Armani, Christian Dior, just to name a few. You have to be buzzed in to some of them. From t...

You thought you were well dressed...

good god, I thought it was just advertising

By ChrisTurk on May 16, 2008
5/5
It isn't. I heard about "Madison Ave advertising agencies" and I thought the place would be full of advertising people the way Wall St has a wall. I was very very wrong.

One block over from Park Pl. (Heh, like in Monopoly), it has some of the snazziest sh...
