Mid-town Manhattan shopping

[gartermouth]

Hi, I finally convinced my mom to take me to NYC...wer'e going to go see "Rent" on Broadway. However, I also want to do some shopping. I've posted other threads looking for stores on the lower east side, but unfortunately my mom can't walk very far and she refuses to take the subway.

So here's my question,

what reasonably priced (nothing in like...the hundreds) is in midtown manhattan, clothing wise? Any thrift shops? Please tell me there's something!!!! I know it's a tourist area, but I'm going back to school, and I need to do some shopping but I don't have a lot of dough. Is there anything in the area or not that many blocks to walk? I go Wednesday, so if you could get back to me before then that would be great!!!

You're stuck. Well depends, your best bet is the East Side of course, H&M, Zara. NBC souvenir store LOL!

I knew it was useless. =( I guess I was hoping there'd be some "hole in the wall" but I really should have known better....

thanks anyway, I'm going to work on convincing my mom to kill time on the East Side before we see the show. I'll see how that goes....
