Go fabric shopping in the garment district. I was there in 2002 and just about went insane in all the wonderful, CHEAP, designer fabrics. I can't remember the streets exactly, but within a couple block radius there were so many little hole in the wall shops with great stuff.
I got some yummy velvet, 60", for only $3.50/yd, trims so wonderfully cheap it would have been a sin to leave them and wanted a bunch more, but hubby wouldn't let me buy another suitcase to take it home in and I couldn't ditch anything to make room. Our conference was at the hotel across from Madison Square Garden and I walked a couple blocks down the street to the shops, so it wasn't far. Good luck getting away from your conference. There was so much I wanted to see, but I kept getting hauled into extra rehearsal sessions and getting out to the shops was about the only thing I got to do that wasn't scheduled.
