Dept stores
Most famous:
MACY’s
A myth! For you to know, in NY, Macy's is behind the Thanksgiving Day Parade (with the giant inflatables, since 1924) or even the 4th of July fireworks since 1976. A myth... we told you!
Mid to high range.
Don't forget your foreign passport to get the tax refund. Check the special discounts events (President's day, Memorial day...) Can really worth it!
@ Union Square… 2 locations, the men store being separated from the main one. And on the top floor of the flagship store, a restaurant, a restaurant ... Cheesecake Factory... for the terrasse and for the view.
170 O’Farrel
Stonestown Galleria
Bloomingdale’s
Another myth. Rachel's store in Friends...
The brown bags, small, medium or large were close to become it bags a few years ago.
The Market store is super attractive with the mall all around. Rainy days...
845 Market – 10:00 am – 9:00 pm
Saks 5th av.
Each department store has its own corner... Search for the red star on the rooftop.
384 Post (NW corner)
220 Post (Men’s store)
Neiman Marcus
The store is super nice and pleasant. It does embody some kind of chic and sophistication.
2 restaurants in the Union Square store: The Rotunda (quite elegant) and the Freshmarket (supposedly more casual). A lunch with a view.
150 Stockton (angle SE de Union Square)
Nordstrom
Pretty fancy brands. Rather medium to high range.
865 Market
Stonestown Galleria
GUMP’S
Furniture, jewelry, linens, tableware...
Actually, the store looks like a large wedding registry.

BARNEYS NEW YORK
Rather chic and sophistiated.
77 O’Farrell

High range brands, even sometimes "haute couture".
You need to go there quite often and to be in the mood of searching and digging.
Large shoeracks and shelves on the second floor.
Real good bargains to get.
555 Ninth street -- Trader Joe's - Bed Bath and Beyond
Loehmann’s
The it store for designer fashion.

Pretty fancy brands.
That kind of shopping requires some skill and patience.
The ultimate goal being the satisfaction to casually wander around town with a Marc Jacobs bag, Chloe boots and the super fancy jeans.
The famous 222 Sutter Street store has closed now. You can still shop online.
TJ MAXX
Same company as Marshall's.
Here Maxxinistas (from fashionistas) correspond to the Shoppportunities de Marshall’s.
