VIBE

The crème de la crème of fashion retail. From classic designers to the latest and greatest in contemporary couture, the nine levels of this New York legend are packed with fabulous threads. Of course, such gorgeous garments don’t come cheap, so the clientele typically ranges from diamond encrusted society matrons to razor-thin starlets.

WHY WE LIKE IT

This iconic mainstay of the New York fashion scene could keep even the most seasoned of shoppers occupied for days on end. And in case all that shopping leaves you famished, thirsty, or just in need of a cocktail to go with your couture, there's a restaurant, a café, and two bars on site.

GOOD TO KNOW

This location only offers goods for women; the men’s store is housed in the building across the street and is as well stocked as its feminine counterpart. Besides the dreamy shopping, other treats on site include a John Barrett salon and restaurants. And for those who truly can’t get enough of their fashion picks, Bergdorf Goodman even offers an iPhone app, Today's Shoe, that allows you to share shoe finds with friends and get quicker delivery and returns. Bergdorf Goodman is a member of the Neiman Marcus Group, so you can use your Neiman Marcus card here and vice-versa
