Hi, we live in Canada and aren't so familiar with New York shopping. I'm bringing my 2 teens to BP next week to *SHOP*. Please give me your suggestions for the best places for teen clothes and shoes, stockings and linens. We are looking for lower prices if possible. Thanks everyone so much!
PS. wish me luck with the "shopping with teens" thing!

Junee's is on eighteenth ave and about forty six street in boro park.
I'm not sure where teen boutique is, maybe, on sixteenth avenue and like forty six street, and shoe palace is on eighteenth avenue and something like forty seven street.
Elzee is on thirteenth avenue and lower forties. There is a flatbush location of elzee on Avenue J I think.
In general everything is on sale right now. I would go up and down thirteenth avenue, and eighteenth avenue. There are lots of stores and you are sure to find something.
I heard that elegant linen, the location on New Utrecht and somewhere in the sixties has a good sale right now.
The stocking store on thirteenth avenue low low forties forgot the name, has good prices.
Good luck to you and make sure to have fun and eat lots of pizza and ice cream too.

Brenda's (4518 18th Ave) has nice clothing and a large selection but some items are a bit pricey (not everything, though). Sorry I can't help more but I don't really shop in BP, I made a special trip to Brenda's because I got a gift certificate.
I'm curious, though, why do you need to get linen or shoes in BP? I could see why you might want to come for tznius clothing or cheaper (?) stockings but couldn't you get shoes and linen in Canada?

thanks, ra mom for such detailed info! It'll come in very handy, and I'll be thinking of you... 
yummymummy - don't know if you have teens, but all teens think that Boro Park is the shopping mecca of the world, and "everything is better in NY". That aside, most everything from the States is more expensive up here, and there is much less selection. Shoes that look "normal" are esp. hard to find, esp. at decent prices. Ditto for linen sets. I will wait to pay $$$ for their Kallah sets, B"EH!

Thanks for the info., I had no idea Canadians had such problems finding clothes, shoes and linen (I'm being serious). Do you ever shop for shoes on-line? Good luck!

Do you buy shoes on-line? how do you know if they will fit? Also, alot of places either won't ship to Canada, or will charge alot. Then there's duties and taxes... We may have free medical care, but boy do we have taxes!
Actually, I can't complain too much. There are several frum stores for clothing, etc., here. My younger kids get outfitted just fine. It's really a teen thing... but they've worked hard on exams and deserve some fun before they start their summer jobs.

I have bought shoes on-line but since I live in the states most sites have very flexible shipping and return policies. I buy shoes in the size I usually wear, sometimes people will post in the comment sections if a shoe runs small but usually I just get my regular size. Too bad about the taxes and duties, I think here in most states if an internet company does not have a physical location in the state they don't have to charge you tax (you're supposed to report the items yourself  ).
Good luck with your shopping!
