Macy's is a HUGE department store. It is so big that it is a must see tourist attraction when you go to New York.
We made the mistake of only having a few hours free to shop at Macy's......no where near enough time, considering that I spent close to an hour just looking at all the handbags!!
There is also a really good food hall to have lunch in - all sorts of gourmet delights, with plenty of seating.
This store stocks everything. With a huge range of it.
Perhaps you will need to buy a new suitcase while you are here to ship it all home in....
I bought a fab handbag and some sunglasses and a few other things.
Will allocate a full day next visit!!
don't worry......that's what Hubbie's credit card is for!! ; P Leave a Comment Theme: Department StorePhone: 212 695 4400Directions: Herald Square subway lineWebsite: http://www.macys.com

 Macy's snowflake light
show at Christmas by kleverkimberley
Macy's gives you, with not strings attached, a discount voucher good for that day that gives you 15% of all purchases in their store (there are some exceptions but,... surprisingly few!)
Happy shopping!!! :) Leave a Comment

 Macy's sign by toonsarah
Macy’s also hosts a number of events during the year. We didn’t spot anything particular happening on this visit, but we still have special memories of the 1982 exhibition staged here – Touch the Moon at Macy’s. The star exhibit was a piece of moon rock which visitors were permitted to touch so I can genuinely claim to have touched the moon! Macy’s also of course sponsors the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade and other big annual events such as 4th of July fireworks.
We were coming towards the end of a long day’s sightseeing on this occasion so we had a fairly quick look round. But I did take the time to stock up on some of my favourite Clinique products as they were quite a bit cheaper than in the UK and a little less than Duty Free prices.

But when I entered, it felt just like a really old department store and everything looked quite messy on the hangers and shelves...nothing in any remote way wanted me to stay there and peruse the goods. In fact, the main reason we went in was because we needed to use the bathroom!The one thing I will say that they HAVE got going for them however, are the wooden floored escalators...they were really cool!
Please tell me if Im wrong, but I just couldn't get excited about it at all. But for those who would like to go there still after my not so positive account of the place, you'll be pleased to know that there are 13 floors, including a floor which is called 'one and a half' ! There are 10 different restaurants in here including the obligatory McDonalds and Starbucks and then some nicer places too!
And just for those of you who are interested, gift cards are available too for amounts from $10 - $10,000!!! Anyone want to be my friend?! Leave a Comment Theme: Department StorePhone: 212 695 4400Directions: Herald Square Metro lineWebsite: http://www.macys.com

I hadn't really planned on going to Macy's but as we were walking on 34th street, we decided to go in to see how big it really was. Well, it's huge! Serious shoppers could easily spend an entire day there. The store runs along 34th Street between Broadway and 7th Avenue, and has at least 7 floors if I remember correctly. It is however very easy to get around this store, as each floor is separated into two sections and there are plenty of indications. The merchandise all seemed to be reasonably priced, and there were also many sales racks (where I found a great sweater for only $5!). Since we were there in November, the store was nicely decorated for Christmas, and we got to see the giant ball they would later drop at Times Square on New Year's Eve. So even if you don't really plan on buying anything (but be warned that it's really hard to leave Macy's without a shopping bag), it's still worth going in just to take a look around.
Macy's is open everyday from 10:00 am to 9:30 pm (11:00 am to 8:30 pm on Sundays).
Be on the lookout for sales - you can get really good deals.
Same as other department stores Leave a Comment

If you plan to shop at Macy's and you're from out of town, then make sure you head to the Visitors Services desk first to collect your discount coupon. You'll have to show proof of your visitor status, eg passport or driving licence.
Domestic visitors are eligible to receive a Welcome Savings Pass, which offers up to 11% savings in all Macy's stores nationwide for five days after validation (usually the first purchase). International visitors can receive the Welcome International Savings Card, which is available in 10 languages and offers 11% savings in all Macy's stores for 30 days after validation.

 MACY'S STORE. by GrantBoone
If you are staying anywhere near the Empire State then Macy's is within walking distance. Its a huge department store along the lines of Selfridges in London. Selling clothes , homewear , well you name it!!
We went for the designer jeans and T shirts .Much cheaper than back home in London.
Havent been since 1995 so difficult to say. Leave a Comment Theme: Department StoreDirections: Not far from the Empire state building around 35th street area.

It wasnt until 1902 that this much larger store was built.
What a shop! There are so many floors and buildings that are joined together, that I am completely disorientated when I go in Macy's.
We were trying to find something in particular and I thought the best place would be to find a directory, usually near the escalators, but they were'nt very comprehensive. We then asked a lovely man who worked there and he took us himself.
As I always say on vt 'shopping' tips, I hate shopping! But our son and his friend wanted to 'spend spend spend'!!!!!
My son had just bought a pair of trainers when a man (from London) asked us if we had a 'Macy's International Shopper Savings Card'. You pick one up at the Customer Information desks. It is for International Shoppers and entitles you to 11% off!!! Needless to say we got one, and were allowed to show our receipts for purchases already made and were reimbursed. I thought that was great. I love a discount. Not only that the card is valid until 31 December 2005! There are a few restrictions on what it can be used for though, perfume, gift certificates. Also not valid at the 'One day sales'.
So if you are in the US from another country pick one up and save some money!
My son bought trainers, which were cheaper than here in the UK Leave a Comment Theme: Department StorePhone: 212 695 4400Directions: Herald Square Metro lineWebsite: macys.com
