Macy's Flower Show

The downtown department store hosts this annual flower-filled extravaganza, filling the historic building real blooms and exotic plants. The theme of this year's show is "Journey to Paradisios, Operation: Inspiration," which Macy's describes as a "space-inspired floral fantasy." The sci-fi display includes more than 5,000 types of plants, trees and flowers that take the shape of rocket ships, celestial bodies and aliens. You can see the sights, free of charge, during regular store hours.
