I'm looking for a fabric district in the NYC area that is much like the LOS ANGELES garment district (i.e. a large area with separate streets dedicated to the sale of a single item- fabric, flowers, men's shoes, notions, women's clothing, etc.) The prices should be significantly less (wholesale) than what you'd pay at a commercial fabric store such as Joann's. Please, no links to NYC visitor shopping guides, I'm not looking to buy some shoes at Macy's. I would like a person who has experience with both areas to answer.this question with some detail. I am looking for info primarily about FABRIC and NOTIONS. Thanks!

There are consecutive notions stores located on 6th Avenue between 34th and 39th Street - mostly on the on the East side of the street. Lots of buttons and trims and things.
The fabric stores are on 7th Ave in the same areas - 34th to 39th.
None of these are wholesale places. However they are not signifcantly less than a Joann's (which we don't even have in Manhattan).
If the stores sell at wholesale prices - they only sell to the trade - NOT the public.

In the heart of times square you have Fashion Ave(7th) between 41st and 39th st there are sevral buildings where designers have their shops. For materials you would head a little further south to SoHo and Chelsea, there are alot of factories that deal with fabrics there
