I have always wanted to go to New York Manhattan, and my chance finally came in 2008. I was ecstatic as I love to shop. All the designers shops what more could a girl want, I found myself counting down the days on the fridge's calendar from the day it was booked.
I only had a week in New York so I had to plan my days to be sure I got to see everything I wanted to. I researched the city through travel magazines and the internet and made a list of all the sights and places I wanted to go.
After the tourist places like statue of liberty, wall street, Broadway shows, ground zero, Staten island, Coney island, central park and the legendary 5th avenue. We were at a loose end, yes I could have quite happily visit many of these place more then once but I wanted to see everything I could in the little time I had.

WOODBURY OUTLETS
The Woodbury Outlet Village is located on route 32 in the Central Valley of New York. Its is roughly One hour north of New York City.
Woodbury is colonial-style village, and offers the world's biggest selection of designer brands, with around 220 shops offering the world's most desired brands like Banana Republic, Calvin Klein, Coach, Donna Karan, Giorgio Armani, Gucci, Max Mara, Nautica, DKNY jeans, Guess and many more.
I did find that shops like, miss sixty, diesel, very expensive, you are more that likely going to get these at a better price in the UK.
This is truly every shopaholics dream, and you can very easy get carried away, at the time we got 1.8 dollars to the pound so we were paying nearly half the price. Plus what ever discounts the stores are offering.
I have to stress that you don't buy to much as you have to think about your luggage allowances if you are flying home, we had to buy two extra cases and pay excess baggage fees or 150 dollars per case, so maybe we didn't get the deals we thought.
GETTING THERE
When we visited Woodbury outlet we traveled the hour's journey by coach, the grey line Port Authority which is located in New York City, 42nd Street & Eighth Avenue. We found this very easily by foot but if you are unsure you can take a yellow taxi.
This trip cost 32.00 dollars each, this was for transport to and from Woodbury and a shopping package for when we got to Woodbury, within the package we got a Woodbury leather shopping bag and 100's dollars worth of discount vouchers, to be used in participating stores. There was 15.00 dollars to spend free at Ralph Lauren, and thing like spend 100.00 get 25% off, so we certainly saved money with these, all for the small price of 32.00 bucks.
You could also hire a car very cheaply, to go to Woodbury this is good for boot space, but you would need to be very confident in driving it the city and its outskirts.
If you are feeling very extravagant then the alternative options are traveling in a limousine or even a helicopter, but I am confident these will cost a small fortune a lot more then the 32.00 dollars we paid.
WOODBURY OPENING TIMES
Monday - Sunday 10.00am - 9.00pm
Woodbury is open 364 days of the year, but is closed Christmas day. Public holidays and remembrance days may vary with opening times.
So if you are in to designer brands this is the place to go, I managed to get a whole new wardrobe for just under 1000.00 dollars which at the time was a little over 500.00 pounds, oh plus the 300.00 dollar excess baggage fee.
We brought so much and didn't think how we were going to get it back to the hotel, I can be very impulsive and think later. There was no problem we just put all of our shopping in the hold under the coach. We just made sure one of us was off the bus first to ensure nobody pinched it, we also tipped the driver 10.00 dollars because he was so nice about it
All in all this was a lovely day and a great way to end the New York holiday, I was just glad I did it at the end of the break because I could have easily spent a lot more.
We arrived at 10.00am in the morning walked around the complex to scan all the shops, at dinner time we sat and had a lovely meal at one of the many restaurants, this was a little bit pricey and you do need to tip the waiters, but I am sure I could have grabbed a cheap burger in one of the shops or restaurants, to save the pennies.
The grey line coach runs every hour, so you can leave anytime you want to and these run until 9.00pm when the complex shuts, we left a 7.00pm and the place was still bouncing so you will need a whole day to visit the complex.
Advantages: Hundreds of real bargains Disadvantages: Need a large credit limit
...Well after visiting Woodbury Common you may not select any of the above but simply state SHOPPING!!!!!
On my second visit to New York we had decided to make the trip to Woodbury Common as we had heard this mentioned so many times before on our last trip but never had the money to make the trip over there.
**What is Woodbury Common?**
It is a member of the Chelsea Premium Outlets group and is a much larger version of our McArthur Glen Outlets, ... ...when I read up on Woodbury Common.
Claiming to have over 220 branded stores the thought of it was getting my credit card crumbling with fear!
**Where is Woodbury Common?**
As a visitor to New York I recommend you book a ticket with Grayline Tours you will see these dotted about throughout the streets of New York wearing red bibs with Gray line tours on they tend to ask you "Do you like shopping?" if this gets asked your on to the right people!!

Advantages: Lots of good sized shops with good discounts Disadvantages: A day trip and New York City offers much the same in Macys
I have been to Woodbury Common a couple of times and know several people who have too. Mody of us are of the same opinion..it's great. However, if you are going to be doing any shopping in New York City the likely hood is that you will be able to find everything you need in the likes of Macy's, Century 21, Old Navy, etc.
If you're passing Woodbury Common, and you have the time (there are loads of shops) call in, but I don't know if I would make ... ...might miss due to it..
It is very clean and family friendly though and pretty easy to find by car , if you have someone who can map read. The road signs in the USA take a little while to get used to. Also beware of the tolls. They are cheap, but sometimes you get a ticket which you then give to the next toll and the price depends on how are you have been. By cheap I mean $1 or $2. ...

Advantages: lots of shops high quality products Disadvantages: its easy to spend allot of money
the commons is great for shops, over 200. from addidas to zegna. this village is boasting the world's highest concentration of marquee labels.
which coming from britain is a culture shock to say the least a shopping addict could spend a few days here easily, it is a full day trip so when booking a trip to new york you must account for a shopping trip to this place as it is taking a day of your trip. when here remember the conversion rate, you will ... ...i got addidas golf shoes worth 100euro for 29 dollars which is about 20 euro or 15 pound. it helps to try and find out when new products are coming in to the shops so that you can get the best deals, maybe if you know someone from new york who could find this out?
always worth a visit for a bargain hunter, it is an all day trip so bring walking shoes. and plenty of water as that is where you can be stung for cash when buying refreshments. for families ...

Advantages: Lots to see, plenty of places to visit, fantastic restaurants Disadvantages: Can be expensive to travel over and stay at peak times
proud of it.
There really is plenty to see in New York and the best thing to do is to purchase a City pass as this gives you free entry into museums and rockefellar centre and discounts at various locations.
The sightseeing tour is well worth its money in gold, if you are travelling in November it can get pretty cold if you are on one of the open top buses so wrap up warm and ensure that there is plenty of battery life left in your camera and you will be able to get some superb shots of your visit.
I enjoyed Madame Tussauds and got to pose with Beyonce, Madonna and the gorgeous George Clooney!!
If it is shopping that you are visiting New York for then plan a day trip to WoodburyCommon if it is designer bargains that you want.
