FAO Schwarz: New York City

The flagship FAO Schwarz store is a must-see for kids in New York City. It's the oldest toy store in the United States. Yes, it's filled with toys from small to grandiose items you'd expect celebrity kids to own. Each visit begins with a greeting from a real-life Toy Soldier. Go to the store one hour prior to opening for a private tour and continental breakfast by the famous, big piano. The displays are ornate from vintage Barbie's to candy and it truly feels like an endless toy store. Even if you're not shopping for toys, it's worth stepping in to this famous store for the experience.
