Macy’s

This New York City institution is a magnet for bargain-hunters thanks to its mind-boggling sprawl and regular discounts. The humungous 10-storey department store has come a long way from its humble beginnings as a small dry goods shop in 1858. Now spread over 1.1 million square feet, it is divided into smaller stores that sell everything—clothes, shoes, handbags, jewellery and watches and home décor—remember to stay focused on your area of interest.
