Agreed on the cookies. That was my first thought as well.
Also, nitpicking here, but for (at least some) New Yorkers it is confusing for a site called Midtown Row to open with a giant image of a prominent SoHo intersection.
Edit - the page you linked to has that image. Didn't notice I wasn't on the index.

checkout their index page, does a great job of conveying what the site does. No idea why OP linked to that page. Your designer cookies are on there:

Then the third line destroys the enthusiasm of my tastebuds by declaring some sort of generic shopping site copy. WTF? Were the cookies a lie?
At the end, I have no idea what your site does, have no inclination to dig further, and already have a means to "discover the latest brands" -- it's called Facebook.
On the plus side, I really like your visual design. Now if only you had told me in those three sentences why it would be worthwhile for me to stick around on your site, I wouldn't be adding to your bounce rate.
All the best.
