Since just moving into the city and on a budget, I came into Century 21 to get a couple of things and loved it!! I found so many designer things for so much less then normal price! The store is a bit messy but def worth the trouble of walking through all that. Your not always going to find your size or but youll walk out with something!

If you live in the 5 burroughs and haven't hear of Century 21, then you must have been living in a dark corner alone somewhere. This is the destination for discount designer shopping. I'm a label whore, but unfortunately my salary doesn't just let me walk in to Barney's and buy half the store. So Century 21 is my savior. From smaller fashion houses like Marc Jacobs to the wildest Italian designers, if you put in some time and dedication, you'll probably score an authentic coutour piece at this store for a fraction of what you'd pay on 5th Ave.

Century 21 is great -- if you're willing to deal with it. This means facing the dubious organization of the store including pawing through rack after rack of stuff that either isn't quite right or isn't your size or is damaged; changing rooms that are mobbed (often I just chance it and don't bother) and other shoppers that are rude and competative. Many of the bargains are on designer goods -- so yes, you can get a $600 dress for $100, but it still isn't cheap. I find it to be an especially good source for suits.

I fell in instant love with this store! It is like a huge TJ Maxx but cleaner and 100 times better! Wonderful name brands and dirt cheap prices! I love their selection and once again, the prices couldn't be better. I bought a Kate Spade wallet for $15! A beautiful dress for my daughter for $10 - whether you are a life long New Yorker or just in town for the day, this is a must stop!

Always wanted Gucci sunglasses, but couldn't afford them? Been eyeing those Manolos for a while but had to leave empty-handed each time? Need a Prada pantsuit to complete your wardrobe this season? Have no fear, Century 21 is located right by the former WTC and is the solution. They offer great discounts that you probably won't find anywhere else; they have a very wide range of goods ranging from bedsheets to chocolate to handbags. This place gets a little crowded, but that's a little price to pay for a big bargain.

Yes, NYC does have a Filene's Basement- but truth be told it is like nothing compared to the original in Boston. Century 21 is comparable to what the Boston Filene's basement is- great designer discounts by the bundle. On my last occassion to visit- I scooped up a plethora of Prada items like t-shirts and skirts for under $40 a piece! It was so exciting. On other visits I have found bargains from designers like Chloe and Lulu Guinness. This store has a range of qualities and prices- perfect for any fashionista!

Century 21 is where I go to get most of my shirts, pants, and ties. The prices are very inexpensive compared to other stores. However, there are always A LOT of people here, so the experience might get a bit frustrating. Downstairs, they sell a variety of home goods, bed and bath, and electronics.

I love to shop here for bargains! Its located downtown, right next to ground zero. Depending on what time of day you go, this place gets really crowded! As long as you don’t mind the crowds, you can find a lot of really nice clothing for really cheap prices! A huge department store with lots of selection, including clothes, shoes, & accessories. Definitely worth checking out!

For those who are wondering whether or not to go to Century 21, let me tell you about the types of bargains I have found there: Michael by Micheal Kors pair of brown slacks for $39, hot puma T-shirt for $10, Victoria's Secret underwear for $2 each, a Grail T-shirt for $39 (normally sold for $100). I was also five seconds away from buying a Guess leather jacket for $115 before I remembered that my other financial obligations! They also sell many other high-end fashionable and trendy clothing with deep discounts. I've spotted brands such as Pucchi, Versace Couture, and Marc Jacobs. They also have a home department, and good men's and children's department. This really is a store for somebody who likes bargains, and has some patience because it can get crowded, and sometimes it takes awhile to look through things.

this is a great place. but like i said expect it to be jam packed at all times. the selection is definitely iffy and can change from visit to visit. that said, if you have the patience to sift through their stuff you're likely to come away with some gems. huge selection somewhat scattered but for the most part better stuff than the rejects you tend to find at most other discount stores.
