So have you decided on Woodbury?
As for your other questions:
If you're staying at the Waldorf Astoria then you are very close (10-15 minutes or less) to all the designer boutiques like Prada, Chanel, Burberry, Gucci, etc.
The actual boutiques close on the early side--it varies from 6-7pm depending on the day of week. Department stores like Nordstrom Rack, Bloomingdales, Saks, and Macy's close a bit later--varies from 8:00-9:30pm. I'm sure the concierge at the W.A. will be able to help you with all the open and close times of the shops.
Century 21 opens quite early on the weekday (7:45am) so I'd head down there first as it gets very crowded later in the day with tourists and locals alike. This store offers small shopping carts so watch your toes in some of the very narrow aisles especially in the handbag department.
Century 21 does have some great deals and designer finds for clothing, accessories, and handbags. I've only been there a handful of times usually just for the handbags but have never spotted any bags from the big brands like Chanel, Balenciaga, and Prada.
But maybe other TPFers have?
Although, I have seen Chanel, Gucci, and Burberry sunglasses over the years.
Handbags from LeSportSac, Marc Jacobs, Kate Spade, and Foley and Corinna are some of the bags I remember seeing the last time I was there.
Anyway, have fun shopping!
