Tour and Tea: ‘Altman’s, Bergdorf’s, Saks – A History of Elite Shopping on 5th

Join ProwlerNYC to delight in holiday window displays on this colorful tour of historic 5th Avenue retail emporiums. These iconic department stores endeared themselves to the Ladies of Fashion while displacing them from what was initially New York’s most exclusive and expensive residential real estate. We will enjoy the architectural details of notable Fifth Avenue retail buildings, while learning about the quirkiness, genius, and motivation that fueled the ambitions of their creators and propelled New York to become fashion capital of the world.

And Then, we will enjoy olde world Tea Time at the historic Pierre Hotel, in their classic Two E Lounge. Ticket price includes a two plus hour tour, and an hour and a half traditional tea service, with tax and gratuities complete. Wear your white gloves and pearls, and revel in the 5th Avenue window shopping tradition while it’s still there to enjoy. Or, wear your elegant casual jeans and come as you like, but in attire that is appropriate for upscale tea service in Midtown.
