Macy's Reviews
Rated out of 5
Macy's is perhaps the most recognizable department store in New York and one of its icons.
The 9-story giant has a huge amount of products for sale from many brands. Unfortunately, on several occasions I myself found nothing there for myself.
For me, it's more as a tourist attraction than a store where I would shop.
An interesting feature is the wooden escalators, on the upper floors.
Excellent location right next to Times Square and the Empire State Building.

Shop until you drop! Macy's largest store has massive eight floors right in the heart of Manhattan for those of you that love shopping!
Everything from fine jewelry to luxury goods to fashion and home and even kids toys (courtesy of a Toys R Us), they have tons to shop from!
If anything, wear a good pair of shoes and be ready and patient. A lovely one stop shop for most of your needs and love for brands!

Shopping is shopping with Macy’s is iconic Lighting was bright !
The escalators were built between 1920 and 1930 by the Otis Elevator Company, which pioneered the machinery. They’re made of sturdy oak and ash, wood that’s traditionally used in hardwood flooring. The mechanical parts have, for the most part, been updated, and modern safety measures have been put in place.
They might be updated and maintained regularly as per modern standards, but the nearly century-old escalators aren’t going anywhere, despite how much they might creak.

Very nice store! 8 levels!! That was pretty cool to see! Wide variety of items for all. The lady downstairs at the jewelry counter wasn’t the most friendly, but it’s fine.

The higher you go to this shop, the grimmer it gets. Well except for the Christmas shop and the interesting woods escalator.
The shop seems to be lacking of decent buyers who are able to stock some good brands. The clothes are just out date and not interesting.
Service wasn’t the best either. Staff member seem to be lacking of interest in serving customer.
