Would places like Highland Village, Dallas; River Oaks, Houston, shopsBuckhead

Highland Village

River Oaks District

Shops at Buckhead

ROD and SAB are more of new urbanism concepts rather than the traditional spaces. HV is mostly suburban. or only traditional spaces like 5th Avenue, MagMile and Downtown SF, etc?

In all honestly even Rodeo Drive is more of a new urbanism thing in its design rather than a traditional one. But obviously to a MUUUUUCH higher scale than ROD and SAB.

^ And NYC is the only city with 2 independent downtown shopping districts (excluding malls).

5th Ave/57th St/Mad Ave corridor (could technically be 2 districts since Madison Avenue shopping is separated from the action on 5th Ave).

Soho

Sandy, the thread title literally says "high-end shopping destinations"... Herald and Union aren't high-end, they're mid-tier.

Can we leave the list to high-end though? The purpose was not a count of every single store. Every city has an Apple store, not every city has an Hermes, that was the fun of it (IMO).

Soho
West Village is booming with many brands setting up standalone boutiques there.

Many more interesting stores now. Many heavyweight stores here:

E.g.,
Acne Studio
Maison Margiela
