You will NOT find me snoozing on a sleeping bag in front of Best Buy at 3 am on November 25. I. hate. Black. Friday. I do not want to make front page news by being the girl trampled at K-Mart. That being said, I can see taking a leisurely stroll through West Village on said Friday to take advantage of some of the deals happening at local boutiques. Like, take 20 percent off your purchase at Lilli London, Demerara, and J’Adore, 50 percent off at Banana Republic from 6 am to 1 pm and 30 percent off from 1 pm to 9 pm, and buy-three-get-two-free at Accents all weekend.
The Ritz-Carlton Spa is participating in Black Friday, too, opening at 8 am and offering 50 percent off select boutique products, which include Spa Fresh products, apparel, candles, and home décor.
