I lived in NYC all my life. We retired to Arizona 7 years ago for nice warm weather. My hubby worked in Manhattan his whole career. The Garment district is very busy and there are great shops to visit.
BUT, you must take care while walking the streets around there. It is not the safest area in the city. Be careful of your purse and only go during daylight hours. Take in a Broadway show during the evening!
Kathy, glad to have left NYC

I visited both Mood and City Quilter in November. CQ does have New York specific fabrics - I purchased a kit to make a quilt for a friend that is next up on my "get it quilted" list. Mood didn't have traditional quilting cotton fabric and was very expensive. My one purchase, just to have something from the store, was a Swarofski crystal button.

Here is the link to the Paula Nadelstern guide to fabric shopping in the garment district. I heard her speak several weeks ago at a quilt show and she mentioned she is in the process of updating it. NY is fabulous and I hope you have a wonderful time. http://www.paulanadelstern.com/fabric/guides/index.php
