Hop on board, fashionistas! The Long Island Rail Road has your ticket to an exclusive fashion shopper’s event being held on Thursdays until December 21. The LIRR has partnered with Shop Gotham to give customers inside access to designer showrooms, shopping tours, exclusive store discounts and exciting perks not available to the independent fashion shopper.

 

Shop Gotham gives customers special access to five to six private wholesale designer showrooms for the opportunity to shop at 50% - 70% below retail, meet a designer, get a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the fashion industry and leave with a list of current New York City sample sales for independent post-tour shopping. Showrooms carry a diverse range of women’s sportswear and accessories. Featured designers are a mix of smaller, successful names and emerging stars.

 

After a “shop till you drop” day, enjoy a convenient, relaxing ride home on the Long Island Rail Road.

 

Tickets: Adults: $62.00 Zones 1-10; $73.00 Zones 12-14

Hours: Selected Thursdays: 1:30pm-4:30pm

Meeting Location: Vicinity of 38^th Street and Fashion Avenue (7^th Avenue). The specific location will be provided upon confirmed reservation.
