Why go
Bergdorf Goodman has occupied the corner of Fifth Avenue and 58th Street since 1928, facing the Plaza Hotel and Central Park. The women’s store fills the former Vanderbilt mansion site, while the separate men’s store stands directly across Fifth Avenue, giving each collection its own building.
What you will find
The women’s store spans designer ready-to-wear, handbags, shoes, jewellery, beauty and home pieces, with seasonal displays arranged through intimate salons rather than one uninterrupted sales floor. The men’s building concentrates tailoring, sportswear, shoes and accessories around a quieter luxury-department-store format.
Before you go
Personal styling, alterations, beauty appointments, bridal services and multilingual international assistance extend the visit beyond browsing. The building’s celebrated Fifth Avenue windows change with fashion seasons and holidays, while upper-floor restaurants place lunch or tea above the avenue’s busiest retail stretch with views across Midtown Manhattan.
