- In this episode of Invitation Only, Kim Bhasin takes us to Americana Manhasset, a luxury mall on the North Shore of Long Island with a particularly swaggy personal shopping concierge and that old-money clientele.
There is one sector of the retail industry that is going strong: luxury stores. Bloomberg reporter, Kim Bhasin hosts this video series that looks at the shops that sell the best of the best and the people who make the trip to the shop to part with their money. This is a series exploring the fanciest shops in the world. What do they sell, who owns them, and who are the customers buying this stuff? • Invitation Only : Seas...

the lady kept telling him it wasn’t a mall and he kept calling it a mall...you can tell she was annoyed
its a mall
it's not a mall lmao. A mall is an entire closed building with the stores inside. This is a more plaza-esque layout
Yeah, she's also WILDY pretentious. It's a mall. Mall = a large building or series of connected buildings containing a variety of retail stores and typically also restaurants. Sorry.
Yousef Khan bullshit there are open malls. I can name you a few.
Well, wathever it is. He didn't respect the lady he talked to.
"We're not a mall, we're a shopping centre" - host continues to refer to it as a mall throughout the entire segment.
Because it is... A mall. He is just calling her on her bs, that's a mall, shopping centre making it feel classy, hey if the king is naked he is naked.
Where's the pretzel shop at ????? This mall
+Eddy mmm Actually, a mall is generally defined as a series of stores in an enclosed building or series of buildings, whereas a shopping center is a series of stores that share a building, but not an internal access.
Basically, can you go between stores without going outside? Then it's a mall. If you have to go outside to get to different stores, it's a shopping center.
Some people use the words differently, but she's not wrong.
4:12 60 years ago there was a super market and a movie theater...
It's a Strip mall, it was designed as the buffer zone between residential and and an obstruction (northern Blvd). Strip malls were built by property owner to earn revenue because it was undesirable residential development land. Property owners would sit on strip malls until they were bought out by other developers. But in this case it evolved into a destination retail location. This is a basic in Urban Design history.
Malls are typically a bunch of stores all housed inside one large building this is a shopping center I think we also used to call them plazas.
As somebody from Long Island, he kind of dropped the ball on this place. There's so much to talk about, and he barely scratched the surface.

99% : The Host
1% : The Shops
🤣
The Stock Market Investor yea
I love this series but wish it was hosted by someone else.
never a truer statement will be uttered in these comments...
What about BRÜNO?
New face of Money is Asian. Get used to it buddy.
LOL it's about his personality not his race!!!!!!
Lol, no offense, he has no knowledge or background in in exclusive consumptions. No wealthy person will ask the questions he’s asking because those are stupid questions, while coming off as condescending sometimes.
They dont even go there... they use personal shoppers instead!
Tsetsi 😁
most people don't use personal shoppers. This place is packed almost every day with people shopping for themselves.
Matt XX I live there lmao. There’s no personal shopper there. I mean mostly are not.
@@unarc3323 I live there too and there are personal shoppers...
Most rich people don’t use personal shoppers. Most rich people shop themselves cause they enjoy shopping.
I used to shop there. The clients are snooty. I remember one day I took my lunch break to shop at the Brooks Brothers store. I liked to wear brooks brothers shirts and ties to work. The males in the men’s department were whispering to each other that I must be wearing a uniform. They might have been security or store attendants. In other words They were saying he (me) doesn’t belong here. That is the type of micro aggression and racism I experienced at this mall.
fuck that idiots smh
Solutionist ' Uhhh ever heard of racial profiling/ prejudice? It’s not unheard of for employees in luxury stores to have prejudice against a certain race like Blacks because they think Blacks must be poor and cannot afford luxury goods.
Heard what she said and it's a shopping center not a mall. Technically in meaning they may not be somehow the same but in general they are. Like duh without their costumers they are nothing.
johnyXXX, he asked how this was racism, not how this was prejudice. These are 2 different things.
Umm... no they are not. Prejudice based on race. Is that not the definition of racism? Perhaps take two seconds to google and you may learn something new. I will even do it for you to save you the hassle.
---------------------
rac·ism
ˈrāˌsizəm/
noun
prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.
---------------------
Literally the first word that comes up is **prejudice**. You can deny it all you want, but that doesn't change the fact that incidents like these still happen every day in 2018. I am sure it has never happened to you. It has never happened to me either, but sometimes you need to stand in someone else's shoes and show some empathy for their struggle. What if you were the Black man who got followed around in luxury stores, given weird looks, while the employees whisper to each other about you? You can be successful and have all the money in the world, but the color of your skin doesn't change.
I have such wonderful memories here as a child. My parents loved to shop at a store called daffy’s which used to be on the other side of manhasset. She passed away in 2003, but the memories of her I have shopping with such joy are more precious to me than any of the fine goods that shopping center contains.
Y’all are being so rude about the host .. his purpose is to make the series feel more comfortable to us middle class or below people because it’s not like everyone here can afford to shop there .. he’s quirky and isn’t educated much in this sense cause he’s portraying your average American so stop bashing at him not like y’all are any fancy
Glad somebody said it.
True.. he brings smile to me as a poor kid watching this series lmao
They're a bunch of snobs trashing the guy, the people commenting cant afford to go in either but they are just jealous asf 😂
GamingTrashBag 197 its a 5 min video
Mina Yuan Maybe he/she was expecting a full-blown documentary 😂 some humans are never contented
I think the producers of the show chose him to host the show to reflect the majority who are just like him, not so articulate of the luxury world. That makes him more relatable in that sense.
Joven Ayento I think so too! He has great taste, but isn’t pretentious and has a dry, quirky sense of humor. I like this series
90% of the comments are how they don’t like the host and 10% of them are about how he kept calling the shopping center a mall😂😂
In the uk a “shopping centre” is basically a mall.That whole area is just extra lol
that's your own colloquial lingo. a shopping center is not a mall though. this is not one building it's a plaza with separate stores outside, not in a closed giant building
Yousef Khan Outlet malls are plazas with outdoor shops though.
Not the uk
Mall: Shops inside one building.
Shopping Center: Shops within an area (it could be indoor and outdoor).
Also mall offer wide variety of goods when shopping center usually focused on one kind of goods.
In America, a shopping center is called an outdoor mall. But these people want to make it sound fancier I guess.
He keeps calling it "the Manhasset". Manhasset is the name of the town. The mall is "the Americana".
The host is kinda annoying. I need someone with better personality to do these series
khen bernardino yaaaa like a white flamboyant white boy with Gucci flip flaps and a Chanel blazer!!! Quit being negative people ugggggg
Cutepuppylover 555 you are so negative
@@cutepuppylover5554 let someone just voice their opinion jeez
Sakshi Chavan I did and you let someone comment what ever it’s on their mind...
Sakshi Chavan very contradictorie
Its so cool for a place that I regularly shop at and pass by being in a youtube video with over one million views.
Dude we need to hang out sometime
The host is like a kid with his face pressed against the window of a shop he could never afford to go in.
Its relatable
Haha
Same.
I wouldn't wanna go in. 12k for a shirt made in Mexico shipped to America and you leave with a name brand and empty wallet. It matters little how rich you are just doesn't make sense.
Dane Pacheco Other than the avocados on the toast...the there's not much from Mexico in that shopping center.
This guy is perfectly fine for this series. He brings a much needed levity for stuff that is just beyond superficial and takes itself waaaaay too seriously
Surprised by all the negative comments about the host here--I love the contrast between his personality and the focus of the stories!! Makes it more fun and unattainable. He's acting much how I think a lot of us would lol
I grew up shopping at this “mall” and it really does cater to everything from “Gap to Gucci” ......so to speak. It is nice but w/NY weather, it is much more enjoyable in Fall & Spring.
I have been going to this shopping center for years. Its just your regular shopping center. I would just go there casually.
Didn’t ask
When you live 5 minutes from this plaza and can’t understand why anyone would want to feature it on CZcams because it seems so normal.
Daniel Blake send money pls i am in dire need
ja, its a quick run in, you can call ahead, or have it sent, but its nice to go with a friend, have lunch, see whats new and think about gifts.
Facts
Not all of us are rich
You’re rich
Honestly, he host makes it more relatable and asks questions that ordinary people would to. That serves the purpose of helping the rest of the world to see and understand that what’s ‘invitation only’.
1:43 Damnnn TESLA is a CONTEMPORARY BRAND
ravinderpal singh you can buy 2 Tesla’s for the same price as an S-Class with options
isn;t it?
Tesla is much nicer than an s-class
whats does mean contemporary here? ...like cheaper???, I thought of contemporary, as in much newer and modern brands maybe?...
@@waltera.6654 A step below luxury. Vince a clothing brand is contemporary selling $400 sweaters for example rather then Gucci at $1000 for a sweater.
The owner of Hershlifer wears a Richard Mille. The retail game is strong in the luxury sector.
I’m so low budget, I don’t even know what that is without googling. Guess I’m never visiting that shopping center.
The way this host talks is so annoying.
He just corny
I keep looking at his teeth. It's bothering me a lot. Just saying.
Better stay in your little bubble if dental care prioritizing health over arbitrary cosmetic standards is bothersome to you, Chache.
Okay gamer boy. I'm just saying my opinion.
apocalypto teeth
Wow, according to the comments section , all of a sudden everybody but this guy is fit for this job... why the hate ? Don’t get it honestly...there are far worse interviews on CZcams.
Me because im from Long Island and go there and never thought it was that “big” or there would be a video of it
it seems kinda...like every other shopping center lmao
big facts my man. Most long islanders would rather go to RF or the Nordstrom shopping center next door to it
@Bryan Tapuy I know right
Exactly that’s what I was saying
Trey Diggz I like walt whitman better to be fair
Bashing the host is irrelevant. I love watching anything that has to do with luxury as I would like to open my own high end luxury business. Videos like these truly give an inside insight into this coveted life.
Exactly
that's too much, they shouldnt force him. theres nothing wrong with his hair or his look, that was alright. people were just talking about his personality and the types of questions he asked
It was always a beautiful shopping center. I worked there at B Altman’s. Bonwit Teller was across the street. There was also Williams-Sonoma, Franklin Simon and so many nice stores. One by one they closed and now it’s like Rodeo Drive. Very stuck up. No fun at all. They cater to extreme high end clientele.
This is just a Private Rhodeo Drive
With less stores since they are so "exclusive"
Rodeo
its not private, anyone can shop here
Wow... America has a lot to learn from Europe when it comes to high-end shopping...
Why does he keep calling it a mall !?!? The lady already told him it’s a shopping center ! Would it kill him to say otherwise !? It’s kind of getting on my nerves !
Hey a king once strolled around in an invisible suit, and someone called him on it, guess the guy is just calling her on her bs, it's a mall
My dad took us to a Japanese restaurant there called Toku, he’d been saving for months 😂. After we finished my brother and I walked around the ‘mall’ for a while and where shocked with the amount of luxury stores there. I’d never seen any of these stores, let alone been in them.
Another perfect example of the great divide that just continues to grow wider. Personally speaking I find many designer/haute couture products to be little more than garish like those runners/sports shoes & the Chanel bags at 4:56. My nan had a bag like that without the Chanel brand of course but she got it from Coles. 😁
this guy does not seem as if he exactly fits the build and personality of someone that would feel comfortable to review these items
THANK YOU, he lacks tact and class. She literally told you its a shopping center and he, like the little Disney editor he is, basically put a pre-recorded laugh track. You have defiled Manhasset's sanctity I hope you never return. I cannot believe my prom dresses caught eyes with you.
Well that's a snobby elitist thing to say
it was supposed to be like a The Daily Show type interview, where the host is annoying and openly disrespectful to the guests. It requires better comic timing, but he tried. He will get the hang of it with time.
The Unknown , 😂🤣💀
Thats the whole point, he is the broke non drug dealing non trust fund millennial perspective. So he just rocks the yacht loafers, and the bun. But there is no yacht.
1:48 guy at the back expells a sick vape cloud
That's the bougiest strip mall I've ever seen.
It’s not mall
Go there every year, it’s a very fancy strip mall...
auxmike Uh, I live like a few minutes away from there. It’s nothing too fancy...
gluxeo go in those shops and they follow you around. I only go into London jewelers.....
It’s really not as fancy as they make it look. It’s a tiny place
on the contrary, id say the host is perfect for this show.. he represent us, the normal buyers.. id always trying to put myself in places like this and try to imagine how wud i act and done.. and trust me, the kind of viewers that are watchg this - mostly this host kinda person..period
Honestly I'll be happy wearing clothes from Walmart.... as long as I get my Ferrari 488
rich people with money problems. i don't see any shop where it says 'Donate for Clean water or donate for refugee' all I see is 'Hey ! i look expensive buy me and people will praise you'
Triggered? Go donate yourself
In the UK a shopping centre is a mall. In any language we all know what it is
This must be the heaven the BALOGNI SALESMEN speak of with such passion.
2:47 Ferragamo is my favorite make of men’s shoes. My pair has served me well for years
This host is awesome. He’s keeping it real. Mall and shopping centre are the same thing. These people are so pretentious haha.
I laughed out loud! This is a cool series... it’s unfortunate that people aren’t getting it. There was a lot of potential here
The best place to shop at the Americana was Daffy Dans. The place was fun, cheap and had great products. You could put things on layaway as well. Too bad the chain closed.
This series would be even better with BRÜNO as a host
Who?
YESSSSSSSSS
I live like 10 minutes away from there lol
Here in Paris, France we do not have any 'malls', there is nothing but shopping centres.... so there is
nothing 'exclusive' about them, they are common... Same as England... this is just wordplay...
The amount of bentleys i see in the parking lot here is insane. I feel poor in a bmw/merc lol...
I go shopping there a lot since its near my house! Its really cool that you're doing this, but just find the right person for doing so.
Typical long Island snob.
I love it there was once a fondue place at that spot!!
AWESOME tour!!
"CHAMPAGNE WISHES AND CAVIER DREAMS"💎 I said "DREAMS"🤗
I would love to host a series like this one day.
Haha i test drove a tesla there. Super nice spot
I remember when it used to have a grocery store towards the front (facing the street) and wasn't so high end as a kid.
I remember being so utterly bored at this shopping center when I was a kid. I wouldn’t necessarily think of this as exclusive though....
Noh lady, it's a mall. You can spin it however you like, it's still a freaking mall
Not a mall lmao
@@ykx777 it's mall, he is calling a spade a spade. And yep that architect did design a mall, do you know which one? This one.
right "dick in the mouth" does not design mmmawwwls. Yeah right why does it look exactly like every other MALL.
Lmao...
It’s more of a plaza to be honest. Malls are bigger/have a more wholistic availability of goods and services. I’m in no way wealthy but live nearby and have been coming to the Sephora + Apple store here for years. It’s much more chill then this video depicts. Yes, they’re many luxury brands, but there even used to be an H&M here until a few years ago
Who’s castle was that at the beginning with the huge drive way
Grim Oheka Castle - not in Manhasset, though
wow thanks
The Vanderbilts
Well it’s really a hotel
Grim mines. your welcome to come visit😂😂😂😂😂
"Shopping center" sooo a mall
no you uncultured swine
It's a mall. You can't really win what the public calls something. Once the majority have collectively decided what to call something, there's no going back. You'll just spend an eternity trying to correct that.
The Lady in pink is full of class. Dear Host, please please present yourself in a proper manner. You said this place is old money, therefore, be classy.
You are not reviewing about gadgets, this channel talks about wealth and class.
Well, we never says mall is Australia, we say shopping centre
Before going luxury shopping for fancy clothes, a visit to the dental office would be essential. It's cheaper that a luxury leather jacket or bag.
live about 10 minutes away and this is an amazing shopping center!
Shopping centre is just what europe call shopping malls
Hirshleifers is my favorite store. I go there all the time. They really keep renovating and changing
I hear what that guy is saying about department stores being under trouble but I honestly think department stores aren't going anywhere nothing is as satisfactory for a consumer as physically choosing your product and walking out the store with the department stores shopping bag.
It's mostly the middle classed stores getting into trouble
I agree
Luxury store will always need physical store and attendants. Customer service is their focus.
That was Oheka Castle!!! I’ve been there before
As a Long Islander i’ve been living here my entire life probably because I live on the South Shore .
Well to be honest, it is actually a mall for the super-rich!
She didn't really want to come across as condescending to say out right the other malls are for the common Brown, blue collar/white collar persons. The Manhasset luxury mall is geared towards the super wealthy, the type that sends their personal shopping assistant. Despite there's NO apparent distinction in the shape of the mall just it's clients. P.S. we don't care who the architect is !
In uk we call everything shopping centre and not mall. We don’t use the word mall. It’s an American word
I went here all the time growing for the Apple store, Urban Outfitters, and Hollister (or maybe Abercrombie). Forge past or everyday, this is so surreal lol.
Folks from Long Island dress so different from people that live in Manhattan.
Worth Avenue on Palm Beach island, Fl...now that place, believe me when I tell you normal people are never seen walking the streets to shop at the high end retailes there. Never. Different level.
It's probably the nicest shopping center on all of long island. The next closest thing would be the huntington mall which is an actual mall and very nice.
YouCanBeTheBass what about garden city mall
walt whitman is better
The Walt Whitman is more comparable to the Americana Manhasset since it is also PURELY Luxury.
The Roosevelt Field Mall is also very nice but it isn't solely for rich people like the other two. There's tons of average middle-end stores that you would find at a mall anywhere in the USA too.
From Most Luxurious to Least: Americana> Walt Whitman> Roosevelt Field> Tanger> Smithhaven> Bay Shore Mall> Broadway Mall> Sunrise Mall> Green Acres
BRUH I LIVE IN QUEENS NEW YORK AND I DRIVE THERE IN 30 MINUTES AND I GO THERE WITHOUT INVITATION
It’s a MALL and an inconvenient one at that, because you have to access all the stores from the outside and there is no protective cover whatsoever. So you park your car and then freeze in the winter, or boil in the summer, or get soaked when it’s raining sideways. Just a ridiculous concept unless one lives in a San Diego type climate. Also, there is nothing charming or interesting about a linear strip of retail stores, so shopping here feels like a chore.
"So you're not just buying in bulk & still feel like you have nothing to wear.."
That's me at the grocery store! Buying everything in the store & when I get home, I have nothing to eat!
Sometimes I forget how many wealthy people live in my area and that those people actually shop in the Americana which is right across from the Benihana
we aren't a mall, we are a shopping center... British people...
I remember passing this shopping center on the way to field trip. In that moment I realized I was poor
You did a great job amigo!!! I loved it... a good looking Latino asking question about a mall❤️❤️😂 the island is scary but I love it...”shopping center” 😂💎
Cutepuppylover 555 that’s not a Latino, he’s a Filipino
He's driving this lady crazier and crazier everytime he says MALL
Only time I go to this “shopping center” is when I needa go to the dentist
At 24 seconds is that the house they filmed Taylor swifts song blank space
SUGGESTION: Go to the Design District in Miami, Florida. You will for sure see wealth next to a hip area, and next to a poor neighborhood.
miami design district has nothing on the north shore of long island, i live here its extreme wealth
Shopping center is the same thing as an outlet except outlets sell defects or out of season junk 😉
Hi- Long Island had the first shopping centers. They were a new idea and a group of stores lined up in a single row with a parking lot in front. Even today, we go to the Herricks Shopping Center, or to Waldbaums shopping center in Roslyn. Americana Shopping center was the Pathmark shopping Center, these were all new in place of a store on the main road where you had to park usually with a parking meter and then get to the store. I remember Glen Oaks SC, Manhasset SC was different, the stores had their own parking lots in the back. We used to go to Best & Co. for haircuts and park in the back. So yes, Americana is a shopping center which is very different than a mall which is all spread out. Shopping centers are very focused.
Might be a new York thing, but where I'm from there is a distinct difference between a mall and shopping center. Malls are indoors
We all live on the same planet but different worlds...
“On the south side, the contemporary brands”
* Shows Tesla dealership *
These episodes are so cool
A shopping center is a mall people! And while I love actual retail, I must say online shop and pick up in store option will do away with “personal shoppers”, unless of course you are disabled in someway. I will also point out that “legacy brands” are all struggling in the age of AI and tech manufacturing. e.g. Ferrari’s new plan for 2020 is a $200k SUV...
Successful people don’t get drunk and strung out on excess addictions....we make practical investments and are sober fitness gurus onto ourselves!
You clearly don't understand what personal shoppers do if you think that.
And you seem really insecure. Talk to a therapist about that perhaps.
whos coming to long island with me to check it out in first person
dont go. the area is small and full of pot HOLES!!11
CLOSET CONSULTATION !! Mind Blown
Even the employees have fancy names
