if you have been to the San Francisco Macy's or (the former) Marshall Fields in Chicago. If you've been to either of those stores then this one will be, "been there, done that". Way too crowed, music way too loud.

You must either visit Macy's or Bloomgdales when visiting the states. It's a shoppers paradise but you can easily get carried away and lost on the endless levels of Macy's.

The store is massive and will take you a good few hours just to walk around with out doing any shopping. But it is hard not to buy anything, just remember to go to the visitors center for your 10% discount card, which is also works on sale items.
