Macy's Department Store Shopping Guide

Macy's Flagship store at Herald Square has long been a popular shopping destination for visitors to New York City. The iconic store has earned worldwide renown for its Thanksgiving Day Parade, holiday window displays, and Visits with Santa. The parade and Santa were prominently featured in the classic film (and perennial Christmas favorite) "Miracle on 34th Street." The store is so vast and features so many departments, you easily can get lost in it.

Here are some things to remember and look for as you wend your way from one floor to another. 

Macy's Department Store Shopping Tips:

• International shoppers can get a discount card good for 11% off most purchases at the Visitor's Center.
• Weekdays before lunch are the least crowded times to visit Macy's.
• Take advantage of baggage check/coat check if you'll be shopping for a while.
• Ask the cashier if you'd like to have your purchases shipped home.
• The lower floors tend to be more crowded than the upper floors.
• Macy's is known for having great sales, especially compared to some of the more upscale New York City department stores.

Macy's Department Store Layout:

With ten floors of shopping, many escalators and elevators and even a half-floor here and there, I recommend you get a Macy's visitors guide at the entrance. This helpful brochure lists which departments (and designers) are available on each floor, where the restrooms are and where you can stop to grab something to eat or drink while you venture through this massive store.
