Chicago shopping

Our Chinatown is not like the one in NYC. www.themagnificentmile.com/shopping.cfm

Chicago shopping

Our Chinatown is not like New York%26#39;s in size but on a smaller scale--you%26#39;ll get some of the knock off%26#39;s, etc that you would see in NYC, but on a much smaller scale. Have lunch there one day and walk around. The red line subway takes you right there. We have stores all over that have dressy clothes for women. From Macy%26#39;s to Nicole Miller to Barney%26#39;s to Maria Pinto (Michelle Obama%26#39;s designer). There is also a place called the Daisy Shop that has dressy dresses on consignment.

There are also shops at Wilson and Clark that have knock offs- they only take cash (like in NYC). You can get there by taking the clark bus from the loop north to Wilson. The shops are on boths sides of one block. So definitely not at all like NY.

For dressy clothes shops- Michigan Ave will have almost any store you can imagine! Armitage and Halsted also have great shops if you want to see another neighborhood!

There is nothing in Chicago that compares to chinatown in nyc as far as cheap knock off handbags. Don%26#39;t expect someone to lead you down the street, thru the alley, into a backroom for handbags like NYC......... : )
