We visit C21 every time we are in NYC. The deals are incredible but the place can be a zoo. Over the winter the store was (and still is being) renovated. This was great because on previous visits there was no place to move as the store gets very busy. Now there are as many people, but the new design... More

There are some good deals here, but it is a bit of a scrum! Obviously in a store like this, assortment, sizes and colors can be potluck. In some areas (e.g. fragrances), the prices are nothing special. I would have given a higher rating, but the staff are not that friendly or helpful.

Incredible bargains on shoes, purses, jeans and almost anything you could find in a department store. Very busy though. The next day we went to the one uptown. Nice deals but it is a much smaller store.

My neice wanted to go to this store. There are many great deals but in order to benefit from the deals you have to put up with the volume of people in the store. It reminded me of Christmas shopping. If you go, give yourself time (hours) to spend time there.

Great cheap shopping could spend hours there but sadly lacked rest rooms. The line for the single rest room on the sixth floor was ridiculously long....make sure you go to the rest room before you visit...then shop all day! Enjoy.

Prior to our one week vacation in NY, many people recommended a one hour bustrip outside the city to some outlets. Perhaps that's great... we can't say, because we didn't go there due to all the shopping-possibilities we found in Century 21.

Visited this store just as it opened after a tip from a friend. A very good move as the store soon fills up with bargain seeking shoppers! Clean, friendly service and good deals to be found.
