Niketown (Visit this link)

The flagship store of a great brand befitting the fine athletes who represent it. One could argue the merits of spending such money to get Tiger Woods' insignia when they could fund literacy programs, polio vaccinations, or housing for the homeless--but hey, they have made financial equals of hard-working athletes and their hard-working Hollywood counterparts. Go to Niketown when you have lots of time. It can take half an hour to find and try on the shoes you like.

The Meatpacking District

The Meatpacking District is a small area on the west side of Manhattan that runs from the Hudson River to 11th Avenue and includes West 13th, 14th, and 15th Streets; Little West 12th; and Gansevoort--all now a-glitter in fashionable shops and cafés, including Stella McCartney and Alexander McQueen. The area is known for restaurants as well: Florent, the neighborhood’s first love is now replaced by many larger establishments -- Buddakan, Del Posto, Pastis, and Frank’s. The Gansevoort is the chic hotel in the neighborhood--a lovely contrast, or complement to, a rowdy evening of shots and beers at Hogs & Heifers.
