It's that wonderful time of year again — cool nighttime breezes hint at a crisp upcoming Fall, the city, almost empty due to vacation-goers, seems like it's almost yours and yours alone to explore, and the Barney's Warehouse Sale is in full effect. Now through September 3rd you can save up to 75% off their regular prices of designer clothing, shoes and accessories for men, women, children and home; downtown-chic Mayle sweaters originally $350 are now $119, sweet Rebecca Taylor dresses are $159, and for all you Carrie Bradshaw hopefuls, this year's selection of marked-down Manolos is abundant. After scavenging through the racks, celebrate your booty at neighboring Bar Veloce for well-crafted panini and full-bodied wines that come in at less than $10 a glass.
