Day 18 – NY – Apple, FAO Schwartz & Bloomingdales

The women-folk wanted to go shopping at Bloomingdales, cos – well, they’re in New York.

So, onto the subway we went up to Fifth Avenue…

I’ve become an Android lover and will [almost] never go back to an iPhone [never say never]. However, the one thing about Apple that I do appreciate is their unique design…. even reflected in their New York store. The entrance is a glass cube at ground level, adorned with the Apple logo of course, with the store below:20150112_174227

On the way to Bloomingdales, we detoured to FAO Swartz. It become well-known in Australia as a result of the movie Big starring Tom Hanks.

First stop, the candy section:20150112_174910

They have a section devoted to food products provided by Saturday Night Live, such as this beauty that I couldn’t resist snapping – 30,000 times the daily recommended fibre intake:20150112_181200

Then, the “Big Piano” – they have maintained this ever since. Grace had a go of course:20150112_175850

We have video – to be loaded when we can edit it with a good broadband connection.

Then, I let the girls free in Bloomingdales – I grabbed a coffee.
