New York City Shopping

  1. 3R Living

    At last, a design-conscious eco store that still manages to emphasize the three Rs - Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.

The in-store recycling center has separate bins for old batteries, crayons, laser-printer cartridges, CDs and cell phones.

    Always busy, this flagship location attracts the full range of computer users - beginners enjoy the translucent stairway and upstairs walkway as much as the cheery-colored iPods, while techheads engage the staff in deep discussions. There's free email service at the store, and seminars on computer tips are given for free.

    A trip here is an experience unto itself - it's big, buzzy and bristling with every piece of camera, video or DVD equipment you could ever want. An electronics wonderland.
