Most New Yorkers would agree that yesterday's weather was magical. There is something about being outdoors on a warm, sunny day that just puts you in a good mood. Another side effect of the sudden change in weather is the urge to go shopping. Keep in mind that the recession is not yet over so let's all be shopportunistic. Here are a few sample sales to get you started.
