F.A.O. Schwarz

Its mammoth size and unfaltering popularity have made FAO Schwarz a venerable city landmark. Yes, it can be a bit crowded and pricier than your average toy store, but this buzzing, blinking, whirring toy megalopolis is hardly average, and no trip to Manhattan with kids in tow is complete without it. If you trust your feet, you can play the Dance-On Piano, immortalized by Tom Hanks and Robert Loggia in the famous “Chopsticks” scene from the movie “Big.” Browse the world’s biggest and coolest collection of toys, ogle the giant stuffed animals, and check out the newest ride-on cars and scooters. After you’ve seen all you can handle, stop at the new ice cream bar downstairs to kick back and grab a treat.
