NYC - Cheap Nike Shox
Hello, again. My nephew insists that I can find cheap Nike Shox ($12) here in Manhattan somewhere. From what I can surmise, Shox are the hot new shoes that 10 year olds MUST have. My nephew's best friend visited a few weeks ago and allegedly found a pair for $12. Any suggestions?
Thanks

I received an e-mail from the little guy saying he spoke to his friend who says that he found the shoes "across from the Sheraton Times Square." So, being the good uncle, I guess I'll venture down there and check it out.
Any other suggestions from my fellow New Yorkers and NYC visitors?

No luck in Times Square today. Not only no cheap Shox, no Shox whatsoever. The little guy is going to be disappointed.
Any ideas from NYC shoppers?
(As an unsolicited editorial aside, I can't imagine why *anyone* would choose to stay at a hotel in Times Square. What a crowded nightmare! The noise is unbelievable, and the ultra-annoying sidewalk congestion is to the point of unpassability. I know, I know, the theaters are nearby, but is that enough to warrant staying at a hotel in hell? With so many locations to choose from, Times Square should be LAST on tourists' lists.)

Ted,
I would venture to guess that your 10 year old nephew would LOVE staying in Times Square!!! There's your answer. We stayed at the Doubletree last year with our kids--I was ready for more peaceful venues by the 2nd day but the 12 year old was in 7th heaven dealing with all the street venders. The location really was handy after the shows, too but next time we'll stay somewhere a little quieter
