Nothing screams capitalist consumerism more than a store where you can find absolutely everything that you need all under the same roof. Bloomingdales or Bloomies as it is commonly known is recognised around half the world as the place where Rachel from Friends worked. It is a huge shopping complex of a department store, located a few blocks away from the busiest hustle-bustle of New Yorks main shopping street, 5th avenue. A must visit store that you can even check your coat in, how cool is that? Especially when it is near Christmas time and you have those big comfortable coats you do not want to be carrying around.

Bloomies has it all. From top designer fashions to quirky souvenirs you cannot wait to bring home. Big brand names such as Louis Vuitton, Burberry and Ralph Lauren are all on show in this huge complex as well as shops of all kinds that will have you spoiled for choice. And when you want to take a breather from walking shop to shop, hit up the many cool cafes and restaurants that will help you get those energy levels up.

The most notable icon of the Bloomingdales franchise is the notorious small, medium and large brown bags which can be seen slinging off the shoulders of many enthusiastic shoppers of Bloomingdales and 5th Avenue. It is no wonder Bloomingdales is an essential stop for New Yorkers and visitors alike and with tourists getting a 10% discount it makes sense to check this fabulous place out. Everything here is just awesome, cafes, staff, escalators, bathrooms and the hundreds of shops. It is just....awesome.

Whenever you are finished wandering around Bloomies then head to 5th Avenue where you can see the famous Tiffany & Co , FAO Schwarz and Trump Tower or if you want to change the scenery then head to Central Park Zoo .
