4. Bargains in Brooklyn
In general, shoppers can find better prices for many items, from clothing to appliances, in Brooklyn than in Manhattan. (It's a matter of rent overhead, and Brooklyn is still cheaper.)
People who "know" Brooklyn well may know which corners of the borough to go to find, say, discounts on fine china, reduced prices on appliances, or imported Italian children's clothing. If you're looking for a stylish woman's winter coat, say, shopping in Flatbush, is more likely to produce a "find" of good merchandise at a bargain price than shopping in Brooklyn Heights.
Still, for Brooklyn budget shoppers without the time or inclination to explore mom-and-pop shops, here's the next best bet: head to the Atlantic Center Mall.
