Suzanne talked with my daughter to understand her interests, style and whether she was looking for anything in particular. My 17 year old is pretty picky, but we visited about 6 shops, tried on and bought a few great finds. We also took the subway for the first time - score! Would definitely do this again - maybe when she’s a little older and more interested in quality finds.

Glad your day was a success. I love shopping with the young ladies! They are all so cute and all so different, and of course everything looks good on them! Ahhh, to be young again! Have a fantastic Thanksgiving and I hope to shop with you again!

This was GREAT! Highly recommend!! Such a fun and affordable way to see the city! Don’t think twice about this one if you have teens, or if you just want to tour the real NYC with a local fashionista who has lived in the city for decades!
