Tips for Shopping at Americana Manhasset

Luxury brands are coveted all across the country. Who hasn't dreamed of browsing through the latest collection of designer handbags or snagging a pair of red-bottom shoes? When it comes to luxury shopping on Long Island, Americana Manhasset is the place to be — but do you know how to get the most out of your experience? Here are a few pro tips!

Go on a Weekday

Sure, it’s quite the luxury to go on a weekend, but if you happen to visit this famed luxury shopping center on a weekday, chances are that it won’t be overwhelmingly crowded. This means that you’ll be able to find parking closer to the front of Americana, and every store you visit will be a calming, relaxing luxury retreat; you won’t have to be placed on a wait list to speak with a sales associate.

Do your Designer Research

Never go into a luxury store without knowing about the brand and what prices you should expect. After all, you are paying for a designer product, but you do want to be aware of all the ins and outs of your investment before making a very expensive purchase. This will not only assist with your designer game plan, but you’ll also feel a lot better knowing what you’re thinking about purchasing, rather than deciding on the spot and being surprised by the price.

Don’t be Afraid to Ask Questions

Last but not least, ask someone if you have a question! All of the sales associates at Americana Manhasset are as friendly as can be and will be more than willing to help you with your purchase! In fact, making a purchase on an item that turns out to be something other than what you expected is bad enough — but with the help of a sales associate, they’ll be able to guide you in the right direction, if you’re having second thoughts about an item!

Why February is the Best Time to Visit Walt Disney World

Are you looking to escape reality for a few days and head somewhere a tad more magical? If so, look no further than Walt Disney World! Located in the heart of Orlando, Florida, this timeless vacation destination is perfect for people of all ages and is indeed a fantasy destination getaway! If you’re thinking about traveling this month to Walt Disney World, then here’s why this is the best time to book the trip:

Less Crowded

Whether you plan a trip to Walt Disney World in Florida or across the West Coast to Disneyland in California, the best time to visit each theme park is during an off-season month — which happens to be, unofficially, February, May, and November. During these months, the parks will still be crowded — but it won’t be as overwhelming as it is during any other time of the year!

More Availability

When was the last time you visited this theme park? Well, if this happens to be your very first time, you’ll want to start making dining reservations now. The reason? Typically, Walt Disney World reservations book immediately for years in advance, due to the high demand. However, when you opt to go during February, you might have some luck to obtain some of the toughest reservations to get in all of Fantasyland.

Cheaper Flights

Indeed, there’s no doubt that airfare is quite expensive no matter where you’re heading in the world. However, since New York is about a 2-hour commute (by air) to Florida, you’ll be able to fly to Orlando at a much cheaper rate — especially if you book your flight on the least popular of travel days (i.e., Tuesday-Thursday). You’ll be pleasantly amazed how little you’ll be able to spend for round trip airfare to head to the happiest place on earth!
