Bit+Piece (CLOSED)

Discerning deal-hunters will be thrilled about this downtown discount store, which offers premium labels like Max Mara, Helmut Lang, Donna Karan and Ralph Lauren at up to 65 percent off. Unlike other warehouses filled with rabid tourists, the vibe here is much more intimate and civilized. Mosey around the petite space to find undamaged clothing neatly hung on racks and glass shelves sporting shoes and bags, none of which clear a grand in terms of price. High-end wares sit alongside more trendy, casual items like Three Dots tees ($50–$90), Woo dresses ($150), and Joie skirts and blouses ($68–$100). Both socialites and starving artists can find treats, whether it’s SpiritHoods faux-fur hoodies with hand-warmer pockets ($129), Theory wool pants ($185–$275) or Baby Bear Shop organic Chai Mandarin–flavored lip balms ($6). One perk you definitely won’t find at Century 21 or T.J.Maxx: A professional wardrobe stylist will offer on-site consultations.
