How much shopping money in nyc? -

i m goin to nyc all the costs are covered i m just wondering how much money for shopping should i bring. i was thinking $200 but i don t want to get there and find myself with only a few items. keep in mind i love thrift stores and 2nd hand shops so i ll probably go there firstbut i also love H M, urbanoutfitters, macycs, and forever 21 and those are pretty pricey.also where are the best areas to shop that are safe.

Upscale Consignment Shops in New Yorkhttp://411newyork.org/guide/2007/05/07/c��For a day shopping (or two) the US$200 will be fine.A longer stay (over 5 days) may require you to have US$500 to US$1000 to spend.If you have a foreign passport, carry it to Macy s and receive a discount towards your shopping that s valid for 30 days. If no foreign passport, then you get one that is valid for 5 days.http://www.macys.com/store/about/visitor��

200 is should be good enough. if you like thrift stores and have a small group, you should check out china town. there are a lot of cheap thrifty type items there just make sure you are in a small group.

$200 isn t a lot of money, H M and forever21 are consider very cheap to me. There s no tax on clothing in NYc, so that helps a little.
