Where do people go to buy basic stuff in New York?|116059

I just moved into New York and was planning on going to Walmart or Target to get some basic living stuff (towels, blankets, laundry detergent, body wash, pillows etc.) Except after asking around I realized that New York doesn_t have either one of these stores. The stores that were reccomended to me didn_t really meet my needs (mostly just grocery stores). So, where am I supposed to go to find cheap living stuff for my empty apartment?

PS. I live around the Columbia University area.

Just go down Broadway around 113th street. You will begin to find stores that sell you the basics there. A good coffee shop on the corner, a jazz club nearby. You are in a good area.

I ws just in NY and saw a Kmart right next to the Penn Station which is at the 33 rd Street, right by the Madison Square Gardens. I think during a previosu trip I also noticed a PierOne on the 5th avenue and they have quite reasonably priced house stuff.

There is a Target in Queens I think. If you made it to the internet just do a search.

Be glad New York areas have the sense to keep WalMart out of their boroughs !!! WalMart is a money grubbing corporation that does NOT care about people, only dollars. Don_t spend your money in places that don_t care about you or the world and the planet you live on.

Take a ride out to Nassau County
The wal-marts are out here.

Conways on 7th ave., about 2 blocks north of penn station.
They have a few locations with in a block of each other, with different departments. so if you can_t find something ask
They have everything and are very cheap. I once got cargo pants for $7 .

Most people get stuff from Duane Reade.

They are everywhere.

For other things, like towels, blankets, etc, take the bus EAST on 116th St till you hit Spanish Harlem. Try Third Ave to Second Ave. Anything near Park and Lexington is still a bit scary.

There are tons of little stores that will give you all you need--from home furnishings to furniture.

Don_t be afraid to explore.

Just follow the Mexican families with the strollers. You_ll find the best bargians in town, as well as some of the best food in town.

116th Street is the New Delancy. True New Yorkers will know what I mean.

There are K Marts in New York. Type New York into the store locator to find the one nearest you.
