went there to check out a high heel shoe that was in a fashion magazine, credited to Barney's of NY. When we arrived, they were unable to locate it or even know what we were talking about. For a pricey place, this was a little disappointing. More

I was excited to visit Barney's since I had never been at their retail store before. While it is a large store, I was really unimpressed by what they had to sell. They have a large selection of items yet not many shoppers. While most of the other stores have crazy traffic, Barney's is usually pretty empty (at least on... More

We only went to Barney's to visit Gaga's workshop. I'm glad we went as I am a fan so it was cool. Strange stuff for sale, nothing spectacular but I bought a $40 canvas tote with the cool logo and I love it. They had an awesome kids leather motorcycle jacket for only $650! Too bad I live in Key...

If you're in NYC during the holidays, one must see is the different department store windows. In 2011, Barney's partnered with Lady Gaga, not just to dress the windows but to feature the Gaga Workshop, which filled one floor with Gaga merchandise. It's a spectacle to see, even if you don't buy anything. More

What can I say about Barneys, well let me list, Supercilious and dismissive sales staff Exorbitant prices Departments not well thought out I witnessed a sales person serving a man with a winter coat that clearly did not fit him, far too large in every aspect for the deluded gent, with the sales person telling him it was a perfect...

Don't bother unless you have very deep pockets. Nothing special and not worth a visit as a tourist. More

Unfortunately,some,not all,but some of the salespeople have confused the quality and beauty and talent of the items there with themselves. Yes , a few actually make purchasing there a delightful experience,but some of the others,usually younger and more ignorant,make it stink big time. Get some class,and learn what NYC is! You are a salesperson not anything more in that situation.Also,many... More
