Barneys New York
Address: 660 Madison Ave Zipcode: 10021 Phone Number: 212-826-8900 Website: http://www.barneys.com Madison Avenue is home to Barneys, Manhattan’s posh paean to high fashion, with the prices to match. Even on this famed strip of swank boutiques and upscale shops, the classy department store stands out. History has a lot to do with it: Barneys has been fitting society dames and gents since the 1920s, and it still exudes an old-world – and old-money – charm, from the impeccably arranged couture gowns to the sleek salespeople who materialize at your side the moment you need them. Like any large department store, Barneys stocks pretty much everything under one roof – at prices that, admittedly, can go through the roof. But they also boast a slew of sales throughout the year, when a shopper’s patience and persistence is well rewarded. If you think happiness is finding a pair of Manolo Blahnik heels at half-off, then the Barneys’ sales are for you. While Barneys is best known for their women’s fashion – from Prada to Azzedine Alaia – and menswear, including handmade silk ties and Armani slacks, they also have a well-stocked cosmetics counter and feature lavish interior furnishings. Meanwhile, Fred’s at Barneys has long been a favorite with “ladies who lunch.” How better to cure shopping fatigue than with scones and marmalade at the weekday high tea? After that, you’ll be ready to shop ‘til you drop all over again.
