Keeping It Local: Garden City's Holiday Shopping Guide

Most shoppers flock to the malls to kick off their holiday shopping. Avoid the long lines and get all the gifts you need right in your own backyard.

With plenty of shops – specialty and otherwise – in the village's downtown, keep Garden City's business district bustling this season. It's been Robert Rothschild's mantra in his weekly mayor's message and a point the Garden City Merchants, Professionals & Retailers group has been trying to drive home since its inception.

Below is a list of local shops you might want to check out for all your shopping needs. If you have any updates of your own that you'd like to share with local shoppers, e-mail carisa@patch.com.
