New York's 'Best Kept Shopping Secret'...need I say more? Where else are you going to find Pucci pants for $250 next to a Hanes $3.99 t-shirt? The store is insane every time I go there but I think it is genetic: I don't go often but when I do, I have the find the most incredible berries/shoes in the forest/store. There is a time to pay retail prices - like when you know exactly what you want and there is limited supply and, there is a time for Century 21. I find the best approach is to give myself a dollar amount allottment before I go in, similiar to how some people will go to Vegas with $250. What I walk out with depends on patience and luck.
