I can not discuss or doubt that clothes, accessories, cosmetics and electronics are on the top of the list of most people traveling to New York. In fact, the city is rich in options in these categories, with shops to suit all tastes and pockets. But one of the advantages of New York is also the fact that the city has many niche shops, stores for specific needs. And if you are a creative person, who likes DIY things, you need to check these three stores.
