    Jersey gerdens is meant to be lot better that woodbury, havent been to either, but supposedly woodbury is very expensive in comparison.

    I worked in a store over there for J1 called Gant, they are quite similar to Ralph Lauren, Hilfilger etc, but a bit more unique, they have a store on 5th ave, beside St.Patricks Cathedral, also in Soho, and an outlet in Woodburry. Can be quite pricey, but they sell all their summer stuff at 50% in July, the 70% for a bit in August, I picked up a few nice hoodies, shirts and tee's for the bf, dad and brother.

    I'd also reccomend urban outfitters over there, was it a bit cheaper and the mens had better variety i found, got cool stuff for my bf there.

    Also, Forever 21 at Union Square is quite like h&m, is fab for girls, found the mens section to be a bit small, but again saw a few nice bits.

    My dad and bro liked Century 21 down at ground zero, great for Ralph Lauren, CK etc boxers, PJ's, socks etc, all reelly good quality stuff.

    Theres always Abercrombie, but I have a feeling that no-one will be wearing it in a couple of years, it'll be like the big trend in 'GAP' hoodies a few years ago, but if you like it, they had a few nice bits on sale in July that I got for my sis, flip-flops, t-shirts etc, same in the boys section.

    Aeropostle is quite similar to Abercrombie, nice boys polo's and shorts, and a good bit cheaper.

    My bro likes Old Navy, it's a cheaper store in the Gap chain, has nice basics, also Banana Republic is really nice, classic sweaters, chinos, shirts etc, it is also in the Gap chain, but is more expensive than Gap, better quality though, sales can be quite good there.

    For more unique stuff, such as vintage etc, Soho and Greenwich village are good for one-off shops, can be pricey, but look around.

    I shopped so much last summer before I came home that I ended up buying an ice hockey equipment bag to bring home all my new stuff! ($25 in a sports store, excellent investment!)

    Also, a tip, most of those stores that I mentioned (Abercrombie, Aeropostle, Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic etc) are nationwide, if you can get to a mall in New Jersey, such as the Palisades, it's well worth it, as there is no sales tax charged in Jersey, also the Palisades is amazing, one of the biggest malls in America, works out a bit chreaper when you don't have to pay tax.
