Philadelphia and Pittsburgh have always been famous for
antiques and
handicrafts. The main shopping areas in Philadelphia include the Bourse at Independence Mall, Head House Square and New Market. The second-largest
shopping complex in the USA, The Plaza & The Court at King of Prussia lies to the north of the city. For budget shoppers, Franklin Mills (just outside Philadelphia), Grove City (north of Pittsburgh) and Reading have hundreds of
factory outlets, offering the chance to pick up brand names at reduced prices. In addition, there is no sales tax on clothing and shoes in Pennsylvania. Antiques buffs should stop in Adamstown (website:
www.antiquescapital.com), where over 1,500 dealers display their wares every Sunday.
