• Destination Maternity

  28 E. 57th St., 212-588-0220

  You may not find the hippest clothing here, but with three stores under one roof, this maternity mini-mall has convenience and range of prices going for it. On the main floor, Pea in the Pod sells $265 blazers and $100 tops by Velvet, and Mimi Maternity (second floor) offers more reasonably priced wares: sweaters for $66, sundresses for $78, and Mavi pregnancy jeans. Motherhood Maternity is the company’s bargain brand, with clothing that’s somewhere between Wal-Mart and Target in terms of quality ($16 shirts, for example). It scores on amenities, too: There’s a spa and a play area to keep children amused while you shop.
