The Miracle Mile is a prominent shopping district in Manhasset on the North Shore of Long Island in Nassau County, New York. The area along Northern Boulevard is well-known for its high-end premium open-air shopping center, the Americana Manhasset.

Altman & Co, Bonwit Teller, Abraham & Straus, Best & Co., Arnold Constable, Franklin Simon & Co., Peck & Peck, H&M, W. & J. Sloane and a J.J. Newberry.
