Walking Tour – Altman’s, Bergdorf’s, Saks! – Elite Shopping on 5th Avenue

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.

Tour begins in front of the CUNY Graduate Center, formerly the B. Altman’s flagship Fifth Avenue store, (address 365 Fifth Avenue at 34th Street, NY NY 10016) and ends at 5th Ave./57th Street.
