Daffy's is another discount department store that has designer merchandise for cheap. I was in the area one time and decided to check it out. I think I was in the store for about five minutes before I just turned around and left.
There was hardly a selection to choose from and things weren't well organized. I felt that the store could've used a good scrub as well.
I walked around the men's clothing area and was done in less than a minute. Hardly compares to any of the other discount stores that would be on the same level.
This is one store that I will personally not be returning to. I would recommend not wasitng your time.

Bishops was one of the only local hardware stores in town until Home Depot moved into Ithaca. I think a lot of their business has been negatively impacted by the entrance of Home Depot.
The store has all your basic hardware needs whether it is home repair, construction, etc. The store is a bit cramped and organization could be better. Prices are okay, and I haven't really compared them to the other stores in the area.
Personally, I was happy that Home Depot opened a store and have shopped there ever since.

The Clinton Inn is located in Tenafly less than a one minute walk to "town." It is a very nice hotel that also has space for private parties and events like bar mitzvahs and weddings.
The rooms are very neat and clean. The place doesn't have a pool so might not be the best place to stay if you are coming with children.
If you need to be in the Tenafly area though, this is a good hotel. Prices are reasonable, although if you stay somehwere on Rt. 17 or in Fort Lee you could definitely find places for cheaper.
I have also been to several events at the Clinton Inn and have enjoyed all of them. The space is big and the food was excellent.

Abercrombie & Fitch is one of those stores that I have stopped shopping at. Their clothes are nice, but nothing fancy and walking into the store means being inundated with bombastic music that hurts your ears.
The clothes are trendy but are extremely overpriced. According to my own observations, the prices of their button down shirts go up $10 every year and are reaching ridiculous levels. You can get equally nice stuff if not nicer for much cheaper.
Throw in Abercrombie's problems with discrimination in hiring and some of their tasteless shirts, and this is a store that one really shouldn't be shopping at.

I pretty much randomly went to see this show and it is one of the best shows I have ever seen. I could not stop laughing throughout the entire play.
Jewtopia is an off-Broadway production and is absolutely fantastic. The great thing is, tickets won't run you over $100 a piece; they are around half of that.
The show is great, espeically for American Jews. This is not to say that gentiles won't like it, but I think that they just won't get a lot of the humor and inside jokes.
At 22, I was the youngest one in the audience by about 40 years which surprised me a bit, but I would recommend this show to anyone my age or older. I plan on sending my parents to it the next time they are in town.

For all your young guys out there looking for presents for your girlfriends for Valentine's Day, anniversaries, birthdays, or other special occasions, this is your best bet.
I've gone to Kay's several times looking for a present for my girlfriend and have always found something that I like. They have a very nice selection of necklaces. The prices are more than affordable and you get great deals. I would highly recommend checking out Kay's if you are looking for nice stuff that doesn't cost you an arm and a leg.

Pearle is another place to consider for eyeglasses. They are pretty similar to Lenscrafters, but there are differences. I've walked out of Pearle several times because I stood there for ten or more minutes waiting for help and no one came.
They usually have deals and discounts available and the prices are in line with those of other stores. The last pair of glasses that I bought were from there. I have a very high prescription but wanted rimless glasses. Lenscrafters wouldn't do it for me, but Pearle would. Although the glasses are a little thick, I was warned about this before and they came out great.
I would recommend this store when you are shopping around for eye glasses. I would definitely visit some others and be sure to know what you want.
Finally, ask about special deals. I got a large percentage discount (on the lines of 20-30%) just because I was a member of AAA.

Before I discovered Cohen's Optical (see other post), I shopped at Lenscrafter's for a long time. They have a big selection, but their biggest advantage is price. They have frames spanning a wide range of prices from extremely cheap to very expensive. You can usually find additional coupons or discounts that reduce the price even more.
While the selection is big, I was never able to find frames that I really really liked, instead having to settle for the best one I could find.
Another big advantage is that you get your glasses within an hour instead of having to wait for a day or come back another time.

Cohen's Fashion Optical is a great place if you are looking for or need glasses. They have a very nice selection and their glasses are all very high quality. Both my dad and my sister have gotten glasses there and have been very happy. They don't have all the generic kinds that you would find at some other stores.
Service is very good and staff is knowledgable. I found the shopping experience there unique, different from either Pearle or Lenscrafters. They have a good warranty on their products if for some reason anything breaks or scratches.
Prices are a tad bit high, but nothing shocking. I would definitely recommend checking out this store if you are in the market for glasses.

TJ Maxx is a discount department store that has lots of designer stuff for cheap prices. The selection is quite decent, although not nearly as big as something like Century 21. Still, if you are in the Ithaca area and want some good bargains, this is a good store to check out.
I've been there several times look for clothes and have found good deals on dress shirts and jeans. They also have house wares and miscellaneous stuff for dorm rooms and the house.
The layout is a bit drab and it's the most inviting place in the world, but given what it is and the good deals, this is something that I was always willing to overlook.
