A Trip to Limelight Marketplace in NYC
... during its transformation from abandoned nightclub to marketplace. Visitors can see the restored stained glass windows and limestone arches during a Shopping or eating expedition. On a recent cold New York afternoon, I stepped off 6th Avenue at 20th Street and into the Limelight Marketplace for the first time.
The building itself grabbed my attention before any of the shops. Looking up to the church ceiling, the structure gives the marketplace an interesting vibe. On a cold day it is a fun place...

A Walking Tour of Barceloneta
... from the 1750s-1850s, so if that’s your cup of tea, I suggest a visit.
Lastly, if you’re in the area and interested in a round of Shopping, the Maremagnum (map) is one of the new establishments leading the charge of gentrification in Barceloneta. There are several name brand shops in this beautiful and airy building, but what’s really interesting is the facility’s “Boutiques Independents” program, which seeks to provide space and platforms for emerging designers...

Shopping Paris: 31 rue Cambon and Beyond
... — but I knew when I arrived in Paris for the first time that it was now or never … and I chose now!
The author, post-Chanel fragrance Shopping in Paris.
Shopping at Chanel is a magical experience: the staff is personal and friendly, your purchases are wrapped like precious cargo and small white fabric camellias (a favorite of Mademoiselle) are used to embellish your Shopping bag (see above photo). At the original Paris Chanel couture boutique at 31 rue Cambon (map), Mademoiselle’s...

Galerías Pacífico. This is the most beautiful Shopping mall there is in the city (map). It is very trendy and expensive, with art all over. It is nice to walk around it and take a look at things, even if you don´t buy anything. The building was constructed in 1891...

Asian Shopping at Uwajimaya
If you’re looking for the ultimate in Asian Shopping in Seattle, you need look no further than Uwajimaya, a family owned Asian supermarket in the International District.
It would be a mistake to think of this 60,000 square foot business as merely a super-supermarket. Its story began back in 1928 when Fujimatsu Moriguchi sold fishcakes and other goods from his truck to Japanese workers. He called his business Uwajima-ya after the town of Uwajima, adding “ya” (the word for store) to the...

Christmas Shopping with a Conscience at The R.E.A.L Store
Christmas Shopping is a necessary evil, but your dollar can do more than lining the pockets of corporate fat cats if you shop at The R.E.A.L Store.
There’s everything you need for treating family and friends, including clothing, jewellery, and other accessories, furniture and smaller homewares, stationery, and works of art. In many ways it seems like so many gift stores, but there’s a key difference here.
At least 10% of the money you spend at The R.E.A.L Store will benefit charities dear to...

Shop-a-holic’s Guide to Houston
Did you join the Black Friday madness after Thanksgiving or did you hide at home like I did? I will admit to doing a little online Black Friday Shopping, but I simply can’t face the angry mobs the day after Thanksgiving. I’d rather stay home, watch whatever crime show marathon is on television, and head to the mall on weekdays between Thanksgiving and Christmas; I’ll trade giant financial savings for sanity and room to think any day of the week (Monday through Friday, anyway!).
In...

Shopping in Kalverstraat
Time to do some Shopping in nearby Kalverstraat (Calves Street). This pedestrian-only Shopping street stretches from the Floating Flower Market to Dam Square. This strip has been a commercial centre since the Middle Ages, when it was used as a cattle market. It makes me wonder if the Beguines stocked up on a sheep or two for wool...
