Places on this Skoot

  • Dylan's Candy Shop

    1011 3rd Ave , New York, NY : (646) 735-0078

    This rainbow-striped, two-story confection attracts crowds of kids and kids-at-heart. Located across the street from Bloomingdale's, you'll find all the candy classics, such as Necco Wafers and Charleston Chews. Midtowners sweeten their day with double-dip cones of custom flavors like "Animal Crackers" or "Candy Bar Blast," relaxing on a peppermint-swirl stool to a sugar-coated soundtrack of oldies and vintage candy jingles. Dylan's also makes signature chocolates, candy creations, and candy spa products like hot-chocolate bath beads. Enjoy the outdoor patio in summer months and custom hot chocolates in the cold weather.


    Candy freaks and children alike can be found at Dylan's Candy Shop. The two floors of candy are connected by a staircase embedded with colorful candy treats. It's almost like walking into Wonka's Chocolate Factory. Downstairs is a wall filled with hard-to-find candies as well as other edibles.

  • Apple Store Fifth Avenue

    Concourse Level, 767 5th Ave , New York, NY

    Apple's products, from the sleek iPod to the compact, gleaming Mac desktops, have always been highly valued for their aesthetics. Why should the store be different? The glowing ethereal cube on ritzy Fifth Avenue stands like a beacon for befuddled computer users looking for hip products and 24-hour tech support. Inside, a clear glass elevator glides down a tube, surrounded by a winding translucent staircase, towards an expansive room crowded with people checking out Macs, iPods, speakers, printers, software and other high-tech goodies.

    727 5th Ave , New York, NY

    The most famous jewelry store in New York, and maybe the world, deserves all the kudos. This wonderful multilevel store offers a breathtaking selection of jewelry, signature watches, tableware and stemware, and a handful of surprisingly affordable gift items. The store is so full that it's easy to browse without having any intention of buying. Pleasant and accommodating, the sales staff serves customers with respect, whether they're buying a $40 glass vase or a $40,000 diamond bracelet. If you do indulge, anything you buy, comes wrapped in that unmistakable blue box with a white ribbon tied just so.

    Your princess will never forgive you if you don't take her to this 43,000-square-foot emporium for little girls featuring a cafe, bookstore, and theater. Historical dolls from time periods like WWII and the Revolutionary War are the focus here, each with an extensive back story available in the bookstore. The many American Girl dolls' many accessories are also for sale. The store features a hair salon to style dolls' hair, and a café serving brunch, lunch and dinner.

  • Bergdorf Goodman

    754 5th Ave , New York, NY

    What this tall, slim store lacks in size, it makes up for in poshness and intricate presentation. Designed on an intimate scale, all the top luxury designers are here, each with their own little branded area. The fifth floor is an open space filled with fashions at more reasonable prices. The jewelry on the main floor and unparalleled gift and tabletop floor are worth a browse alone. The store has two ladies'-shoe departments, one for one-stop designer shopping, and the less-expensive fifth-floor salon. Just across the street is Bergdorf Goodman Man, a palace of fine men's fashion. Bergdorf's is a sybarite's delight.
