Places to See, New York: Pearl River Mart

If you're coming to New York City for the first time and your in China town you need to come here. And if you live in New York you really need to go here. Pearl River Mart used to be located in the heart of Soho until the building owner increased the rent to an insane amount. Now they're located at 395 Broadway, New York, NY 10013 right near China Town. You can get off at Canal Street Station and walk there.

The two story store is filled with incredible ceramics, clothes and food from China and other parts of Asia. 

They have these incredible box sets of ceramic plates and bowls you can get but also individuals. Their tea mugs are amazing and the chopstick selection is incredible! Sometimes I find things I've seen at tourist stores in Japan but a lot cheaper. 

The basement level is filled with beautiful vases, individual bowls and kitchen ware. They also have paper lanterns of all sizes and really cool lamps! Make sure you don't forget to go downstairs. There is also a large array of paper. The textures and colors are insanely gorgeous!

And you can't forget food. In the back is a small section for clothes and food. The silk clothing options are amazing. They also have an interesting amount of Japanese and Chinese sweets and teas! The staff is also so nice and friendly so definitely stop by!
