NYC Insider Tip - Only in NYC
You'll notice many of the boutique and department stores unique to New York City will have the most distinctive selection when shopping in New York City, since they only have to stock their one or two stores - no mass ordering, trucking, warehousing, etc.
This allows them the ability to work with emerging designers, locally and globally, even highlighting young, but talented designers, from our world famous Fashion College, FIT (Fashion Institute of Technology) and the TV Show, Project Runway.

Department Stores
Here are highlights and brief descriptions on Shopping in New York City at Department Stores...
Shopping in NYC - Bloomingdales |
|||
|
Bloomingdales is an overall great department store, easy to navigate, great sales, good designer selection for teens and up. The main store has everything: babies, kids, teens, trendy and super luxury designers and housewares. The SoHo store is smaller, but hip and trendy. |
||
Shopping in NYC - Bergdorf Goodman |
|||
|
Bergies is one of my favorite stores! Highlights are the cosmetic selection, spacious store, lots of up and coming designers, very helpful staff and organized with little boutiques by brand, like mini-stores within a store. The men's store is huge and separate building. Good to Know: Bergdorf's is now owned by Neiman Marcus and a very similar store. 754 5th Ave, 57th/58th, Midtown East |
||
Shopping in NYC - Henri Bendel |
|||
|
Bendels is great for new designers and cosmetics (they discovered what is now Créme de La Mer before Estée Lauder did!). The store is chic, young and urban with the Frederic Fekkai salon on the fourth floor. 712 5th Ave, 55th/56th, Midtown East |
||
Shopping in NYC - Barneys New York |
|||
|
Barney's - my other favorite department store! Stocked with unique merchandise, first to market many new designers, amazing shoes, very nice staff, excellent dining at Fred's on the 9th floor. Barneys New York has two CO-OP locations, which are smaller, but also carry great merchandise. |

Shopping in NYC - Saks Fifth Avenue |
|||
|
Saks has, hands down, the best shoe department on the planet. |
||
Shopping in NYC - Lord and Taylor |
|||
|
Lord and Taylor has elegant and stylish merchandise, great dress selection for all ages. Best suited for the over-40 crowd (it was my Grandmother's favorite back in the day!) 424 5th Ave, 38th/39th, Midtown West |
||
Shopping in NYC - Macy's |
|||
|
While we all have a soft spot in our heart for the landmark, Macy's, founder of the most famous Thanksgiving Day Parade and backdrop of the movie "Miracle on 34th Street," this store is huge (2 city blocks, 9 Floors), crowded, in a congested area with little else around it and lacking sales staff. |
