The 25th of December has come and gone and as we are in the first few days of the new year, what better thing to do than shop! While Boxing Day may have passed — perhaps one of the most popular shopping days of the year — there are still deals out there to be had. The term “Boxing Day” originates in Victorian England, when the rich would box up gifts on the day after Christmas and bring them to the poor. In recent times, it has just come to mean Sale, Sale, Sale!
Getting Around the City
While streets and stores may be packed with avid shoppers, put on your warm coat, find an affordable rental car and brave the frigid outdoors. And by far, what better place to shop than the Big Apple? Parking may be difficult so it’s best to drive your rental car somewhere central where you can park for the day. After that, simply roam the streets by foot, take the bus, or even the subway to get around. With the money you’ve saved by taking advantage of New York car rental deals, you will have the extra cash to take public transit within the city.
Must-Visit Luxury Shops
Some shops that simply must be hit include:
- Bergdorf Goodman
- Gucci
- Chanel
- Marc Jacobs
- Barney’s
Shopping Malls & Outlet Stores
And of course a day of shopping wouldn’t be complete without roaming through the massive New York shopping malls. For this you will need to get in your rental car and visit Century 21 Outlet Store, Newport Center Shopping Mall, Jersey Gardens The Outlet Collection, Deerpark Tanger Outlets and Woodbury Common Premium (to name just a small few).
From luxury boutiques on Fifth Avenue to massive outlet malls just outside the city, New York has everything a post-holiday shopper could dream of. Rent a car and make the most of the sales.
