Black Friday 2019: When Stores Open In New York City

NEW YORK CITY — It's a sport more cutthroat than cheerleading, a quest more glorious than the hunt for an actually affordable one-bedroom in New York City, it's an event more terrifying than cooking Thanksgiving dinner in your hot plate-only kitchen.

It's Black Friday, and it's nigh.

Stores and shoppers across the country have been preparing for months for this year's Black Friday, slated for the Friday after Thanksgiving, Nov. 29.

The national shopping spree event is considered opening day to a season of frantic holiday shopping that could top $1 trillion in sales for the first time this year, according to eMarketer.

U.S. online sales during the holiday season could total $143.7 billion dollars, according to the computer software company Adobe projected, and roughly 20 percent will be spurred by Black Friday.
