While many New Yorkers are still basking in their Thanksgiving meals, some have left those celebrations early to get a head start on their holiday shopping and Black Friday deals.
Shoppers are out finding sales on clothing, electronics and household items. Many were out on Fordham Road in the Bronx.
“I love the experience of shopping in person, so being there with all the other people, it’s almost like a sport for me,” says Oxford Isaac.
Black Friday shopping officially starts at midnight. Many stories will be open early Friday morning for shoppers to get ahead on the deals.
