beautiful and good experiences. I love the downtown Macy's. I take the bus downtown especially for christmas or investment shopping (shoes, coats, jeans) I don't buy tons of clothes here but my boyfriend has gotten lots of Levi deals. I haven't had any bad experiences and i recently registered there with lots of help and little pushing. I also absolutely love the new Origins they added on the ground floor.
From a miracle on 34th Street to malls in the 'burbs, this is middle-class America's own department store..
The Scene
In 1857, R.H. Macy opened his eponymous dry goods store in New York City. The tally of his first day's receipts: $11.06. These days, under the aegis of Federated Department stores, Macy's anchors malls coast to coast, tallying millions in yearly sales.
The Goods
Macy's is every shopper's department store, located along the retail spectrum between Sears and Nordstrom. Crowded displays boast second-tier labels: Lauren and Polo by Ralph Lauren, Reaction by Kenneth Cole, Allen by ABS. The shoe department features many upcale selections: Via Spiga, DKNY and Martinez Valero for the ladies and Cole Haan, Skechers and basic Bass loafers for the fellas. Otherwise, rely on staples: Wamsutta sheets, Royal Velvet towels, Clinique cosmetics, Gold-Toe socks and Carter's for kids.
Big box, no charm, no service.. OK, you may score a deal during one of the many, many sales. But this big box has all the charm and service of, say, Home Depot. Take your money to the small businesses that offer unique fashion and better service in Freemont, Ballard, Cap Hill, etc.
truly unbiased. The Bon is the best place to shop. They have the best selection and lowest prices, period.
bon baby. the bon is the best shopping, you can find anything you need there. it is not to pricey, but has great brands.
The Bon is Bad. The only Bon I will go to is downtown and only if I am buying something off a bridal registry. Otherwise their poor service and messy stores aren't worth it.
