Philadelphia Shopping: 5 Best Other Shops in Philadelphia

Looking for luxe? Check out Boyd's on Chestnut street for your fix of Monolo Blahnik, Prada, Lanvin, Allen Edmonds, and Gucci. Want to score a bargain? With Nordstrom Rack and a Bloomingdale's Outlet store literally across the street from each other, and Century 21 a few blocks east, you can spend hours on the hunt. Locavores can sate their hunger for authenticity by heading down to East Passyunk Square or up to Northern Liberties neighborhoods, both bursting at the seams with local designers, jewelry makers, and artists. Enjoy a year-round gourmet market experience at the famous Reading Terminal Market, or if you're looking for a piece of the "old country", head down to the Italian Market for the freshest meat, produce, and baked goods the city has to offer.
