Lord & Taylor, at their stunning landmark Fifth Avenue building, first department store in America, is the very vision of grand old world elegance that rivals the finest department stores in Paris & London. NYC is very fortunate to have her here & now! In the 21st Century Lord & Taylor has returned to her early roots offering the finest in fashion for SMART women & men! The store is beautifully detailed,clean, well organized & generously stocked with wonderful selections that make your shopping pleasantly convenient with the gracious, polite help of EXPERIENCED salespeople who are there to cheerfully assist rather than stare & pose. All the latest trends are there! Wit, STYLE, intelligence, standards, ethics, courtesy, kindness & good sense! ...YOU will find ALL of those fine qualities in abundance at Lord & Taylor!

Lord & Taylor IS Manhattan's Best Department Store! It's new owners have ALREADY returned Lord & Taylor to it's original identity as Fashion Leader, stocking the store with fashionable merchandise & Manhattan's NICEST sales help! Theory,Bobbi Brown, Carmen Marc Valvo,Betsey Johnson,NARS,Juicey Couture,Badgley Mischka,Eileen Fisher, Cole Haan,7 For All Mankind,Hudson,Nicole Miller,Ralph Lauren,Donna Karan,DKNYC,Shoshanna,Cynthia Vincent,Hanro,Max & Cleo,Lafayette 148 NY,Leilani,Oscar De La Renta,David Meister,Givenchy,Michael Kors,Morgan McFeeters,Laundry,& so many more. WHAT do I need from any other store where the help is not interested in really helping the customer because they think they are SOLELY there to look/feel Hip? I don't!

Sometimes there are items you just need to purchase from a department store. Or maybe you want the experience of being able to get everything in one place. All the other department stores in the city are so packed with tourists, it's hard to get your shopping done. Lord and Taylor is like the department stores you went to as a child: civilized and calm.

I am an avid Lord & Taylor shopper and I absolutely love it there. I just recently checked out their website & saw that you can now shop online! The site is fantastic and easy to use. I just bought cashmere sweaters for my family and picked up some great gifts for the holiday. Definitely an A+ in my book.

My wife purchased a $100 gift certificate for me. They claimed it expired and I got nothing for it. Why would anyone what to buy a gift certificate? Give money instead.

The store really looks great. The window displays are fabulous - art exhibits, cars and more. Plus, Larry Forgione is running their newly remodeled restaurant and the food is outstanding. I love shopping for dresses there - as well as clothing for my husband. It's very updated and modern.
