Huge inventory, outrageous bargains, couture and ready-to-wear. This is the largest of the NYC stores. Don't expect to find clerks on the floor. If you need help, check the dressing room area.

There are a lot of nice supermerkets here, but my favorite is City Fresh. They have a great fresh fish department. It even has live lobster. (of course being that this is Spanish Harlem, there's even a place to by live chickens!)
