Stores known
around the world
New York has over 10,000 stores. These
are the most famous.
 4-star-fame stores
Alphabetical.
 Bergdorf Goodman
Caters to the discerning, affluent New Yorker.
Bloomingdale's
As times change, it changes. Popular with both locals and out-of-towners. The 60th & Third location
is the chain's mecca.
Cartier
Its French heritage creates the low-keyed setting preferred by its old-money
clientele.
FAO Schwarz
This is the ultimate and world's most famous toy store. It enthralls kids.
Henri Bendel
This venerable clothing store has been shifting to a younger and edgier (though
still well-off) customer base.
Lord & Taylor
Lord & Taylor 's prime audience is not the cool shopper. It appeals to a
somewhat older clientele that does not want to sacrifice ease of wearing to accommodate the "latest" designer craze.
Macy's
This is the world's largest department store. Unlike other department stores
mentioned above, Macy's has lots of merchandise that caters to smaller-purse customers.
Saks Fifth Avenue
The flagship store of this respected chain strategically sits on Fifth Avenue, across the street
from St. Patrick's Cathedral.
Tiffany
Who hasn't heard of Tiffany's? No jewelry store comes close to equaling its
global fame and cachet.
Toys R' Us
The one on Fifth Avenue is the world's largest toy store. The size, interior decor, and electronic
window treatment are striking.
Zabar's
This Upper West Side food market is legendary. It helped pioneer the large
gourmet-food market concept.
