Every New York fashionista knows the "4 B's Designer Shopping": Bloomie's, Bergdorf's, Bendel's and Barneys. Since 1872, when Benjamin Bloomingdale's sons started selling ladies hoop skirts on the Lower East Side, Bloomingdale's has been a shopping mecca and a trendsetter in the retail industry.

In 1886, the department store moved to its current home on Lexington Avenue and the Bloomingdale brothers developed the much loved pastime of window shopping by being the first store to create a theatrical mise-en-scene featuring a few select products in the plate glass display windows. Bloomingdale's has continued to capitalize on its relationship with the affluent, young and trendy through theatrical advertising campaigns billing Bloomie's a store that had to be experienced, a place to see and be seen.

Personal shoppers and interior designers are available by appointment to help you fill your iconic Big Brown Bag to the brim with the latest in fashions for you and your home. On the first floor balcony, Bloomingdale's Visitor Service offers translators, coat and package check services, hotel package delivery (minimum purchase $250) and a full concierge service. International visitors are eligible to receive free signature gift when they spend $200 or more by presenting a same day receipt to the Visitor Services desk.

Nearby attractions: Central Park, Central Park Wildlife Center, St. Patrick's Cathedral and the Museum of Modern Art.

Bloomingdale's Reviews

Rated 4.4 out of 5 Star Rating

5 Star Rating On the low better than saks. Not quite as high end luxury vibe as saks but all the same brands and arguably better pricing. Could swear they had a bigger range too. I bought heaps from here. Also the sales assistant helping us (wish I could remember his name) was probably the kindest most helpful guy we met in NYC. He was down to earth not pushy or annoying like some assistants are. Just helped with sizing and ideas for outfits based on what we picked out. He also let us know of a discount code we could use since we were a certain age. Kudos to him. Made out experience so memorable! Plus they had Russ Westbrook’s brand Honour the Gift which was just such a bonus!

5 Star Rating Having heard tales of the legendary Bloomingdalea,New York I just had to pay it a visit.The special occasion was also marked by a best friends birthday,so a bonus.After perusing briefly the array of designer fair on offer ,way over our budget we headed for the make up department,as my friend had wanted a mascara.There were no pushy sales tactics and then we enquired if we could possibly use a tester to help choose.Who knew that the delightful Ashleigh would proceed to give my friend the most amazing birthday treat. She heard we had an event on this evening and a bit of a late night previously so offered to freshen her up as they say. The freshen up turned into the most wonderful makeover ,she was so attentive and proficient. Using expensive serums and the most wonderful products my friend looked amazing and was delighted.To my surprise I was greeted to the same amazing service by the delightful Gina ,just as bubbly and friendly as Ashley.She gave me some amazing tips and compliments bless her. We laughed and chatted to these two adorable, polite young ladies and I would highly recommend them to anyone,anywhere in the US and beyond.Of course some additional purchases were made it was my friends birthday after all and I may not ever visit Bloomingdales again ,so why not.We asked the lovely man ,sorry name not remembered apologies ,if we could please give the lovely ladies a tip.It wasn't much in the scheme of things but they were delighted as were we.The trip didn't end there as when the purchases were made we each received some amazing gift bags ,including make up bag,various lotions and potions and trial sizes of the mascara purchased.And so much more,it actually brought a tear to my eye ,and because the mascara was that good I didn't look like a panda. Huge thanks to both Ashleigh and Gina ,sorry if incorrect spellings ladies,you made two British women feel so very special and our trip so very memorable.

4 Star Rating If you have ever been to a boutique mall and loved it, you are in for a treat. This entire store was like a mall unto itself, with each floor boasting a different department. The atmosphere was great throughout, and there were lots of great things to look at. Just be aware of the prices and how much you want to spend...they are designer items after all!🙂

3 Star Rating Bloomingdale’s has a great selection of high-end brands and stylish pieces, but the overall shopping experience leaves a lot to be desired. The store is well-organized, and there’s definitely a variety of products to choose from, but the customer service is underwhelming. I’ve been here a few times, and each time, it’s been hit or miss. The staff can be either extremely helpful or completely indifferent. It’s frustrating when you need assistance, but no one is around, or worse, they seem uninterested in helping. Long checkout lines and slow service at the counters make the experience even more frustrating. For the prices they charge, I would expect a much higher level of service and attentiveness. While the store itself is nice, the lack of consistent customer care makes shopping here less enjoyable. I’ll still stop by occasionally, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to shop here.
