Asian Indian clothing in NYC
I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a place in Manhattan that sells Asian Indian clothing, specifically sarees and a salwar kameez. The last time I was in NYC, I noticed you could buy just about anything there, so I'm hoping I'll be able to find these.

Last spring I saw some sari stores on Fifth Avenue in the 20s, like 25th, 26th. The area of the mid-20s (23rd St to 28th St or thereabouts) and Lexington/Third (and obviously west to Broadway) is considered Little India so that's the area I'd head to. There are probably some cool sari stores in Queens, but I have no idea where exactly. Maybe some Fodorite out there might know?

Oops - in my previous reply I meant to say that Little India extends west to Fifth Ave (not Broadway), since I was walking up Fifth when I saw the stores. Well, Broadway and Fifth are very close together in that neighborhood...

Hi, me again. I have the name of a couple of shops which were mentioned in a Time Out NY article - Om Saree at 134 E. 27th St (Lexington) and Little India Emporium at 128 E. 28th St (between Park & Lexington). Hope this helps.

I second Jackson Heights. A short ride on the 7 train, get off at the 74th st stop and walk in amazement on a block full of sarees and fabrics and everything indian. The prices and selection cannot compare to anything you'll find in Manhattan. Fabulous jewelry also. Totally worth the train ride.
