Bloomingdales: New York Shopping

All the information about shopping at Bloomingdales New York

Despite being owned by the same group as the larger Macy's, Bloomingdale's has retained a separate image for itself, and remains one of the most popular places in New York to go shopping. Unmistakeably upmarket, Bloomingdale's on 3rd Avenue and 59th Street is the place to be seen to shop, and its distinctive shopping bags offer a certain status to those who carry them.

Offering everything from shoes to food and toys to jewellery, Bloomingdale's is something of a paradise for shopaholics, and a great place to spend a few hours browsing for a bargain, or even picking up a personal shopper in the spacious lobby, and spending a full day spanking your credit card into submission.

The department store is divided into huge sections specialising in particular designers and their products, so if it absolutely has to be Prada darling, then you'll be in heaven as you browse through a selection of branded luxury goods as impressive as anywhere else.

Like New York's other major department stores, Bloomingdale's thoughtful staff can arrange for your shopping to be delivered to your hotel if you end up buying too much to carry, and with prices up to 30% less than you would pay in the UK, it is easy to get carried away.
