Macy's Flower Show

I gotta say Macys knows how to put on a show. I've seen a bunch of their shows, and they are always spectacular. The flower show recently had the most beautiful, colorful, and exotic flowers everywhere. The whole store (first floor really) smelled like a garden. A great break from the city smells. The flowers are real! Idk why I was so impressed with that, probably because it means that they need constant care, you can't just leave them there like you can fake flowers. The window displays are also so detailed. You can really tell a lot of their shows require effort. I was recently there for the carnival theme and it was whimsical and so fun, in the middle of april! Kudos macys. Keep on bringing on the shows cuz I will definitely keep on comin back!

Was just at the 2017 show with the Carnival theme! The place smells great, but might be because the display is also in the perfume department! I don't know what I was expecting, but I was a bit underwhelmed. The displays are definitely beautiful, and some good Instagram opportunities for sure, but its just a bunch of pretty flowers. Very little in the way of descriptions, and you have to slog through the already very crowded Macy's for see it. As I walked I kept asking "Is this it? Really". The best view is from the Tunnel of Love upstairs and I would say my favorite displays are outside on the street! 

It might not seem like it, but grabbing a cup of coffee and joining the wandering tourists on the first floor of Macy's is actually a great date idea.The flowers are always gorgeous (especially this year - the America the Beautiful theme is timely and reminds you that there are other amazing places in the U.S. that are not NYC) and it's perfect for relaxing or snapping a billion photos for your Instagram.  If you're feeling adventurous, go to the 7th floor (home goods) and look for the coffee cup garden. You can get a free Nespresso drink while you're there!
