city break

where is the best place to go for a city break in ameriac besides new york somewhere thats good for shopping

depends how you want to get about. There are several great malls around Miami, including the huge Sawgrass outlet mall, but you need a car. And apart from the art deco architecture along the beach the town itself isn't all that interesting. If you just like walking round the shops, then NYC is much the most walkable city in the country. Chicago and Boston aren't bad, and good places to visit, but NYC is bigger and better-shopped.

Then, of course, there's the Mall of America just across the road south of the Minneapolis International Airport... Fabulous!

If you want to see a few sights as well (the majority of which have free entry) then Washington D.C. is the place to go. Not much of a shopper, so can't comment too much on them, but imagine it would have an outlet mall somewhere nearby.

if you choose Miami, you can do Sawgrass Mills without having a car by taking the Tri-Rail to Fort Lauderdale, then bus #22 direct to the mall.....

Boston is well worth a look with interesting history with the Freedom Trail as well as the trips out to see the whales.

Anywhere is good for shopping given the exchange rate at the moment. Mall of America is the biggest but it is a normal mall, not an outlet mall. If you want outlets check here for a list http://www.premiumoutlets.com/centers/ or here http://www.simon.com/findamall/
