Shopping In London: Harrods

A visit to London will not be complete without visiting Harrods Department Store in Knightsbridge. Harrods is just a heaven place to visit with its many different Departments including the famous Food Hall, the Luxury Fashion Department, the Shoes Department and its numerous Harrods Restaurants in the store. Don't miss eating at Harrods. Their restaurants like Laduree, the Terrace and the Food Hall are a gastronomic delight. I featured the Harrods Restaurants in my previous blog post, London Part II: EAT! Harrods also participated during The Queen's Diamond Jubilee. My previous blog post, Harrods Diamond Jubilee Treats will give you ideas on what to expect in the Harrods Food Hall. I love Harrods. Every time I visit there, I get disoriented because of its many departments in many floors and get excited like a child! Of course it is expensive, not doubt about it. But it is fun to explore it and discover so many of its products and food on offer. Harrods is both a shopping and food adventure.

During a visit to New York City last January, my girlfriends and I dropped by FAO Schwarz for some toys shopping. Being in the store was like a Alice in Wonderland fantasy. There were toys everywhere and in every kind. We even saw Captain America! I wished that my 3 yr old niece was with me to see all of these toys, costumes, books and candies! My friends and I definitely felt like a kid again! I was so fascinated that I had fun taking pictures in the store!

FAO Schwarz established since 1862 is a New York City Landmark. This store is a toy emporium, making all of the children dreams come true! Every toy from every size, every kind can be found and bought from FAO Schwarz. The store is located at Fifth Avenue just across from another New York City Landmark, The Plaza Hotel. The store is also across from the Apple Store and also from Bergdorf Goodman. After a bankruptcy, the store was purchased in May 2009 by Toys "R" Us which maintained the New York City flagship store. Visit the store and you will have fun viewing all the toys and even the Schwarz Sweets! Here are some fun pictures from the store...
