Bergdorf Goodman – The Lowdown

Situated a stone’s throw from the iconic Plaza Hotel, shopping institution Bergdorf Goodman is a style guru’s dream, housing a mix of classic New York labels, couture collections, contemporary clothing and lust-worthy accessories. Like any great love story, the carefully-curated store builds sartorial tension with each floor. To begin, there’s handbags, jewelry and shades on the main level, followed by a designer shoe salon, evening gowns, and even a fur shop on the fourth floor. The store had its street cred immortalized via the 2013 documentary, Scatter My Ashes at Bergdorf’s, in which Giorgio Armani, Candice Bergen, Manolo Blahnik and others offered an insiders peek behind the backroom doors and into the inner workings of the iconic Manhattan department store.

Bergdorf’s is famous for its high-concept window installations year-round, (but especially at Christmas), which also serve as a showcase for select fashion from upcoming seasonal collections. Take a break from ogling labels and grab a coffee at BG Restaurant, located on the seventh floor with majestic views of Central Park. If you need something a little stronger to nurse the self-inflicted wounds on your bank balance, try a Spiked Chai Tea.
