No trip to New York City would be complete without a visit to the infamous Tiffany & Co. flagship store on Fifth Avenue, where you’re free to play dress-up as Holly Golightly in the palace of sparkling jewels. Opened in 1940, the iconic Art Deco-influenced granite and limestone building is home to the Tiffany Diamond – one of the largest yellow diamonds ever discovered – in addition to a suite of covetable gems, necklaces, rings and pendants, all personifying the brand’s signature classic style. Interestingly, Donald Trump purchased the location’s air rights for $5 million in order to build the adjacent Trump Tower, thereafter naming one of his daughters after the namesake brand. Head to the third floor to check out Tiffany’s iconic silver collection in a less-crowded setting, where you can peruse over the cases of gleaming ornaments without inadvertently photobombing another tourist’s selfie. In any case, you’d be hard-pressed to resist forking out for a sparkler and its new home in a trademark turquoise blue box for the purposes of inciting envy from fellow shoppers as you continue your sophisticated strut uptown.
