I really didn't care for this place. Its confusing and like the other Macy's that I've been to...very high end. If I hadn't got confused I would have took more time to explore the place and I did not like the restrooms. The only thing that I got of value from there was map of new york. Macys is better... More

After a lifetime of watching "Miracle on 34th Street," I had to add a stroll through Macy's to my NYC agenda. What I didn't plan on was a huge Mother's Day sale that brought the biggest crowds I've seen since the '96 Olympic Games in Atlanta ... a literal crush of people. And like the Olympics, all were smiling and... More

I was very fortunate to be there on 10th May where they are having 1 day sale perhaps due to the Mother's day. Store wide they have discounted items from shoes, dresses, handbags, jewelrey, etc. For tourists, you can get an additional 10% by producing your ID at the customer service counter!

A pleasant shop but not as impressive as Harrods in London even if it is big. Personally, the tax business in the USA really gets on my nerves and the idea of having to go upstairs and go through a whole tralala to get my reduction put me off. Tax and tips UGHHH! thank god I live in Europe!

Macys is the biggest store I have ever been in and you even get a map to navigate round it! However I find its size was the downfall for me. I didnt know where to look first and with only a limited time here, I found it difficult to browse. I think it would be better if you knew what... More

NYC is for clothes shopping! And while plus-sized women have the same dreams as their petite counterparts, you would not know this from the stores. I encountered the same problems in this fashion mecca, as I have anywhere else-- poor quality and selection. However, not true with Macy's!! They have Calvin Klein, Tahari, Jones of New York, Ralph Lauren, Inc.... More

Went here with my famely in may, and I must say it was my worst time spent in nyc. At first glance it looks nice, but don't get fooled. Went to the men's department only to find dirty clothing and bad sales assistants, they made no effort to help out. The prices here was more expensive than what I later... More

We went in here just to look around. It was very crowded and very big. We liked looking around. The elevators ate always full so you are better off taking the escalators. We didn't plan on shopping but ended up leaving with clothes for our children and new luggage. If you go down to the bottom floor, you can get... More

It's massive and there is a lot of stuff in there that you won't be interested in.. You have to know this before you go in. This means finding what you want is hard but worth it if you can be bothered. The service was very varied - some were excellent and others unfriendly. Old style escalators added a nice... More

Chaotic, mobbed, disorganised and difficult to navigate. With so many other wonderful Department Stores in NY, shame to waste your time here.
