Department Stores in New York City
Bloomingdale's
Founded in 1872, Bloomingdale's is as much a part of the New York tradition as slush in the winter. It is a fine department store that deals in everything from underwear to housewares, children's clothing, and furniture.

Bergdorf Goodman
This sophisticated midtown mainstay-relocated to the elegant Vanderbilt mansion in 1928-is the ne plus ultra ladies-who-lunch shopping destination, complete with its own restaurant and an accomodating cafe. The stately building features eight floors of pure designer bliss, including spacious in-store boutiques from couture stars like Narciso Rodriquez, Chloe, and Jean Paul Gaultier on floors two through four-all furnished with swank, well-appointed dressing rooms complete with Central Park views. On five, younger fashion sybarites gravitate toward excellent selections of mid-priced lines like Marc by Marc Jacobs, DKNY, and Theory, and rack after rack of shoes. On the main floor, celebrity divas in dark glasses-and soon-to-be well-coiffed Upper East Side ladies en route to John Barrett's ninth floor salon-browse the extensive accessories department, with buttery leather bag upon bag from designers like Nancy Gonzalez, Chanel, and Prada. - Carolyn Murnick (nymag.com)

Bergdorf Goodman for men
Located directly across Fifth Avenue from the main Bergdorf Goodman department store, the men's offshoot-open since 1990-is no less graceful or sophisticated than its distaff counterpart. Fashion-conscious wives send their husbands here for the city's largest selection of elegant formalwear, as well as upper-crust accessories and designer sportswear. Decorated to feel like a clubby men's lounge with plenty of mid-century modern furniture, the three-floor department store is a calm, quiet preserve of designer fashion-in welcome contrast to the sometimes frenetic energy of the women's store. Impeccably suited salesmen beckon in each department on the store's colorful main floor, navigating shoppers through the bountiful tie and shirt selections from labels like Charvet and Etro. On the cavernous second floor, formalwear from houses like Brioni, Bamford & Sons and Spencer Hart hang casually in individual areas, each with its own sitting room and decorated to resemble a Tribeca loft. Downtown guys (or midtowners with sub-14th St. leanings) have their pick of avant-garde sportswear upstairs on three, with styles from Dsquared to Thom Browne; unrepentant purists can stick to Ralph Lauren and Gucci. - Carolyn Murnick (nymag.com)

Macy's
Macy's offers everything from the latest designer fashions to Nintendo's Game Boy. Have lunch at one of the stores' several cafes after a hard day of shopping; I recommend a banana split at the Fountain Cafe in the children's department. A trip to Macy's wouldn't be complete without a visit to The Cellar, Macy's collection of gourmet shops in the basement.
