Macy's
What can you say about the
world's largest store? Food to
futons, the selection is vast. And

New York scene, from
the annual spring flower

when thousands of tap
dancers converge on
Herald Square (see p119) .
Henri Bendel
Set up like a series
of boutiques, Bendel's
displays innovative, fun
women's fashions for
glamorous shoppers.
The sales staff are
particularly friendly. The
signature brown and
white shopping bag is
such a status symbol that the
pattern is used for accessories.

discouraged; upper floors are
more manageable. d 1000 Lexington
