The Shops at Canal Place

Central Business District

This high-end shopping center focuses on national chains, including Saks Fifth Avenue, Michael Kors, Anthropologie, Banana Republic, J.Crew, Louis Vuitton, and Lululemon. But the mall also includes quality local shops: a highlight is the Louisiana Craft Guild for one-of-a-kind Louisiana-inspired creations. There's also an independent Prytania movie theater and a new Brasa steakhouse from local chef Edgar Caro.

The Shops at Columbus Circle

Upper West Side

Curving around Columbus Circle and across the street from the southern entrance to Central Park, this light-filled mall in Deutsche Bank Center features more than 50 retail shops and boutiques, including Coach, Aveda, Cole Haan, Camp, Eileen Fisher, J. Crew, Jo Malone London, Williams Sonoma, Lululemon, and more. It also contains a Whole Foods Market and several eateries.

The Shops at Kilohana

With shops and art galleries tucked into the 16,000-square-foot Tudor mansion and restored outbuildings, Kilohana Plantation offers quality clothing, jewelry, candy, handmade pottery, Hawaiian collectibles, and train memorabilia.

Train rides on a restored railroad are available, with knowledgeable guides recounting the history of sugar on Kauai.

Shops at Liberty Place

Center City West

At 16th and Chestnut streets is the Shops at Liberty Place. The complex features a food court and popular stores, including a Loft Outlet, Jos. A. Bank, and Bloomingdales Outlet. More than 20 stores and restaurants are arranged in two circular levels within a strikingly handsome 90-foot glass-roof atrium.

The Shops at Mauna Lani

This pleasant complex offers Hawaiian and tropical apparel, a hair salon, and lots of dining choices. Pizza does not get better than at Knead & Bake, where you can dine in or order online for pickup. A small market lets you stock up on basics, and coffee, smoothie, and sandwich shops are still around, as well as a couple of nice surf shops, jewelry stores, and upscale clothing boutiques. Tommy Bahama Restaurant and Bar is especially favored by locals for a pau hana (after work) cocktail and pupu (appetizer).

Shops at Merrick Park

At this open-air Mediterranean-style, tri-level, shopping-and-dining venue, Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom anchor over 100 specialty shops. Outposts by Jimmy Choo, Tiffany & Co., CH Carolina Herrera, and Gucci fulfill most high-fashion needs, and haute-decor shopping options include Brazilian contemporary-furniture designer Artefacto.

Shops at Sea Pines Center

South End

Clothing, fine gifts and jewelry, and a selection of local crafts and antiques can be found at this quaint open-air shopping center located in the Sea Pines Resort. Don’t miss By Hand, Ink, a charming independent book store.

The Shops at Sportsmen's Lodge

The corner of Ventura and Coldwater—the former site of a legendary old Hollywood hangout called Sportsmen's Lodge—is hopping once again with the arrival of this sleek open-air collection of shops, restaurants, and wellness providers. After a stint in the hyperbaric oxygen pod, grab one of those extravagant Erewhon smoothies people are constantly talking about on social media and peruse the racks of athleisure at Vuori, Hoka, FP Movement, and Alo. After attending a Ikebana or fairy terrarium workshop at Rolling Greens nursery, sit under the redwoods (a holdover from the hotel's heyday) or alongside the water feature to enjoy nibbles from L.A. staples like Kismet Rotisserie, Sugarfish, Hi-Ho Burgers, Uovo, or Winston's Pies.

The Shops at the Bravern

If you have some serious cash to burn, the sleek, upscale Bravern might be the Eastside spot for you. With high-end shops like Moncler, Hermès, Prada, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton, it's tempting to empty your wallet—but save room for a spa treatment at the Gene Juarez Salon & Spa or a meal at luxury Chinese hot-pot spot the Dolar Shop. Valet and complimentary parking (with validation) are available.

The Shops at the Charleston Place

The city's most renowned hotel is flanked by an indoor mall of upscale boutiques and specialty shops, as well as several restaurants, including Charleston Grill, Meeting at Market pub, and the Community Perk coffee shop. Retail offerings include Gucci, Kate Spade, and Louis Vuitton. It's an excellent respite from the heat or the rain, and the city's finest publicly accessible restrooms are downstairs near the shoeshine station.

Shops at the Loom

This renovated textile mill is Bushwick's take on a minimall, with more than 20 businesses including a yoga studio, a bike shop, and a tattoo parlor. You can pick up a coffee at Kave Espresso Bar, take a DIY craft class at Brooklyn Creative Studio, or pick up head-turning club wear at House of La Rue. If the weather's fine, sip your drink in the urban-landscaped courtyard and access the free Wi-Fi.

Located on the casino floor of Ocean Casino Resort, you'll find just about everything you'll need for a Vegas stay including a Starbucks, Bottled wines and spirits, Flying Point Surf Shop, and the Core shops that have everything from souvenirs to sundries.

The Shops at Wailea

Stylish, upscale, and close to most of the resorts, this mall brings high fashion to Wailea. Luxury brands such as Gucci, Cos Bar, and Tiffany & Co. are represented, as are less expensive chains like Billabong, Lululemon, and Tommy Bahama. Daily events include lei making, ukulele lessons, and hula performances. If you're peckish, grab some elevated pub food at Pint & Cork, island-style fare at Tommy Bahama Restaurant and Pub, or takeaway from Island Gourmet Markets, which also sells grocery essentials and locally made food products

Shops at Willow Bend

The Shops at Willow Bend include anchors Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue and boutiques such as Escada, Lacoste, and Yves Delorme. The indoor play area (which looks like a giant breakfast, complete with a Texas-sized steak and a coffee cup to jump in and out of) is usually packed with toddlers and their parents. The rest of the mall is rarely crowded—excellent for serious shoppers with little time.

The Shops of Grand Avenue

Although Milwaukee's downtown shopping center has declined from its heyday, it still packs an impressive amount of shopping into a few city blocks. Shops here include Boston Store (a Milwaukee institution) and Brew City Beer Gear—a necessary stop for all things beer and Milwaukee.

Showcase Mall

South Strip

\"Mall\" is a bit of a misnomer here, where stores are more like highly evolved interactive marketing concepts. First off, there's M&M'S, the four-story homage to the popular candy, where huge dispensers with every color and type line one wall. More sugar awaits you at the Coca-Cola Store, where the Around the World Tray brings you 14 sparkling and still beverage flavors from around the world. Be sure to get a photo of the 100-foot bottle of Coca-Cola outside. The flagship two-story Lids store has all sorts of team-branded merchandise. Post sugar buzz, you can head to the Hard Rock Cafe to browse the interactive video Rock Wall or buy T-shirts, Las Vegas–branded clothing, and souvenirs. The Showcase Mall's parking structure is right next to the MGM Grand; the best access is from the fifth floor, where a pedestrian bridge crosses into the mall. A less hectic option is to park at any of the surrounding hotels (MGM Grand, NY–NY, Park MGM) and walk here.

Shreve & Co.

Union Sq.

Along with gems in dazzling settings, San Francisco's oldest retail store—it's been in business since 1852—carries luxury watches by Jaeger-LeCoultre and others. On Saturdays well-heeled couples scope out hefty diamond engagement rings.

Shreve, Crump & Low

Back Bay

Since 1796, Shreve has specialized in high-end treasures, including gems and handcrafted platinum rings, as well as men's and women's watches and high-quality antiques. But don't get the impression that you can't afford anything here: one of the store's best-selling items is a $99 ceramic pitcher called "The Gurgling Cod," in honor of the state fish.

Shugarman's Little Shop

In a region known for artisanal sweets, this cozy candy shop set amid Madrid's string of galleries has earned a cult following for its imaginative edible works of art. Some of the more unusual creations include dark chocolate studded with hibiscus flowers, lemon, and ginger, and creamy white chocolate with lavender sugar and flecks of actual lavender.

Shupp's Grove

A seasonal outdoor market in a tree-shaded wood, Shupp's Grove is the oldest antiques haunt in Adamstown. Acres of dealers pile their tables high with you-name-it, from the beautiful to the bizarre. In addition to the regular market, each weekend features a different theme to highlight specialists in that field (military, fiber, posters, etc.).

SHW Jewelry

East Village

The shelves of this small shop are stacked with elegant vases, dishware, and home accessories, mostly in glass and ceramic, by designers from around the United States. The dainty jewelry in gold and other precious metals tends to suit everyday wear rather than statement pieces.

307 E. 9th St., New York, NY, 10003, USA

SIDESHOW

Fells Point

The museum store at the American Visionary Art Museum features over 2,000 square feet of books, jewelry, cards, toys, accessories, costumes, and other novelties. Only a fun and wacky place like this would have a coin-operated Zoltar Machine (the same as in the movie Big) and Whoopee cushions. Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake comes here to buy her fabulous costume jewelry. There's a second location inside the Lord Baltimore Hotel.

Siesta Key Village

Not too far from Siesta Key's wildly popular beaches is a cluster of stores, restaurants, and watering holes you won't want to miss. This is a great place to shop and grab a bite after the beach—or earlier if it's not a beach day.

Park in the municipal lot at the end of Avenida Madera, then stroll down Ocean Boulevard, where you'll find clusters of upscale shops and a range of restaurants and bars.
