     What could possibly be better than elbowing your way through herds of "Soccer Moms" and "Last Minute Dads" to do your holiday shopping?

     How about spending a night on the Lower East Side with your friends shopping, drinking and dining while saving some dimes! Lower East Side and Wunderbloc bring you SHOPnight, our answer to the New York City holiday shopping blitz.
