Exactly...that's a very good point. That's one of the main reasons why they shop here.
I didn't like shopping in Greece because the dollar isn't worth as much as the euro. But in Turkey, forget about it, we bought Turkish rugs like no tomorrow since the lira is worth very little

It works both ways. You guys come here because your currency is worth more than the dollar, but we also go there to get better deals. There's no way I would have bought Turkish rugs here in NY. We got amazing deals over there.

The point is that people come from everywhere to shop in NYC. Why else is is so difficult for me to get into stores??? I avoid stores in Manhattan like the plague. Forget about Century 21. Everest Climb has never shopped here, and it's obvious. I bet he'll say next that window shopping on 5th avenue during Christmas-time isn't popular at all, lol.
As for the metro NY equivalent of Bal Harbor, the same company has the same type of outdoor mall in the NY area. In fact, the NY version is the original, and has higher sales per square foot. It's called the Americana at Manhasset. It's on the North Shore of Long Island, on the Miracle Mile corridor (just past Queens).
When we're talking about smaller, boutique-laden centers, there probably isn't a center on earth more upscale than the Americana Manhasset.
Also, the Americana does not just have store branches for its various boutiques. It's stores are almost all flagship sized, and are often the largest North American location outside of Manhattan (or sometimes, third behind Manhattan and Beverly Hills).
Among the flagship sized stores at the Americana:
Cartier
David Yurman
Zegna
Fendi
Armani
Vuitton
Michael Kors
Oscar de la Renta
Prada
Ferragamo
Van Cleef & Arpels
Versace
