THE NEW YORK TIMES STYLE MAGAZINE — HOLIDAY 2005

Beyond all the crass stereotypes lies another, more genteel Long Island. A Long Island redolent of C.Z.Guest puttering around the garden in Old Westbury, of Woolworth mansions and of Roosevelt homesteads. It is this more lavish demographic that the Americana Manhasset- one of the country’s more chichi shopping destinations- caters. Built in the 1950’s, its strip mall façade was gorgeously lifted in the 80’s by Peter Marino, global luxury’s architect of choice. Today, Americana Manhasset, with its 60 retail stores, is the Rodeo Drive of the North Shore. Luckily for Manhattanites, it’s just a 50-minute jaunt on the Long Island Rail Road. Here are our nine favorite spots.

7. Hirshleifer’s
This fashion emporium desperately made us wish we were Suzanne Saperstein in the mood for a makeover. Its J. Mendel boutique serves up tasteful Traina sisters elegance, while the Dolce & Gabbana sells separates that take you from lunch at the Ivy to the plastic surgeon or a weekend in Aspen, Colo. The Chanel boutique (above) offers classic black dresses that scream Vanessa Paradis as styled by Carine Roitfeld, and the Valentino stop-n-shop feels very Marisa Berenson-on-the-witness-stand: sober but ultrachic. 2080 Northern Boulevard.
