| A marketing trick .. but if someone was stupid enough to buy it, then it would show the warped values in our society, whilst billions are starving round the world. |

Enjoy .. sounds EXCELLENT !!!
I recall being in NY and just walking around the kids store on 5th Avenue (I think) .. reminds me of Hamleys in London.
I think that NY store was featured in the move "Big" -- though can't recall the name |

The hubby and I are wanting to plan a weekend get away to New York. He now goes there for business often. It will have to wait until after we close on our house though. |

I'm so jealous. We already agreed we will be going to New York sometime next Christmas.
My dad was born and raised in New York so I went often as a kid but haven't really been since I was an adult and I want to now! |

I have a sister who lives near NYC -- can highly recommend the Serendipity chocolate drink -- it's fantastic!! I'll be there 2nd week of December as well, taking my nephews & niece to Rockefeller Centre. NYC is awesome during the holidays!
PS: Just as FAO Schwartz was featured in the movie, "Big", the Serendipity shop was also featured in the movie of the same name, starring Kate Beckinsale and John Cusack.

| I'll be taking my Hubby to NYC during Christmas week. We'll have dinner at Bubba Gump's and watch a NY Ranger hockey game. I love wandering the city, it's got such a buzz to it. Have a great time Aja, the kids will love it at Christmas time. |

I was thinking I shouldn't post it since I didn't want to upset you .. but at least this might save you a trip to the place only to find it shut. |
