    Under restoration

    The Saks Fifth Avenue store is their flagship store. Very high end brands available. The perception is that their customers are not price conscious as the prices of items are more expensive than other stores. The store is under restoration so it’s challenging to get...More

    Could use better holiday decor but good selection of handbags

    I thought Macy's holiday display was far better than Sak's Fifth Avenue. It still is a good place to look at handbags.

    I believe it runs every 10 minutes, Daily starting 5pm to 11pm between 49th & 50th Sts. Best viewing is from Rockefeller Center and then you can check out the Christmas Tree!

    Boxing Day at San Francisco! (5 Replies)
    will there be any sale going on on Boxing Day? I know the sales during Black Friday is crazy! (wish I'm there now!) Any suggestions which mall to hit first? I heard that Saks Fifth Avenue sale on Boxing Day is better than Neiman. Is that true?

    Yes, Boxing Day (for those who don't know, it is the day after Christmas, December 26th) has special sales. But there are a few things to watch out for. First is the large amount of folks tyring to return items and exchange them for other items. Also, the popularity of Gift Card has been increasing each year, so you have a lot of folks who will want to spend them. So stores will be very busy places. My suggestion, but the local paper on Christmas Day, and check out the ads and...More
