The Shoe Box Sale: Oct 17-19

Yes, there's a 20% off sale at all four locations of The Shoe Box, which likely won't make a real dent in the price because the stuff in this joint is crazy expensive. But if you are into crazy expensive minus 20% and don't mind a shopping experience akin to The Short Hills Mall in New Jersey, then this might be your lucky shoe weekend.

Rug Sale at Stickley Audi & Co: Oct 2-5

This week Stickley Audi is having a 5-day rug sale in Manhattan (207 W. 25th St.) and White Plains (50 Tarrytown Rd.), 50-70% off retail. This may mean that they are $10,000 instead of $20,000, but come on now! Wall Street bankers need a break! :)~
