Bloomingdale's


ADDRESS: 1000 Third Ave
CITY: New York
STATE: NY
COUNTRY: USA
PHONE 1: 212/705-2000

More accessible than Barneys and more affordable than Saks, Bloomingdale's has a certain New York pizazz. Taking up an entire city block, Bloomie's stocks just about anything you could want, from clothing (both designer and everyday basics) and fragrances to housewares and furniture -- not necessarily a good thing, because sometimes it feels too stuffed full of merchandise for comfort. It pays to make a reconnaissance trip to get the overview, then move in for the kill. The main entrance is on Third Avenue, but pop up to street level from the 59th Street station and you'll be right at the Lexington Avenue entrance. A smaller, downtown branch opened on Prince Street, offering pricier and edgier items.
