Three stars just for the prices. Everything else gets a 1 star.
The place is a crazed mess on the weekend, so do come in during the week if you can. But even then prepare to be swimming through racks of clothes and women who refuse to move their baby strollers. There's also no fitting rooms so purchasing items is kind of a crossing of the fingers that whatever you get will fit. And if it doesn't fit and you need to return something, there's a strange process where you have to tell one of the "security guards" (basically dudes in t-shirts unlike all the other dudes in t-shirts on fordham rd) when you walk in and they give you some sort of pass and then you go upstairs and wait in a line for twenty minutes to return it.
This is on top of the twenty minutes plus you spent in line to originally by the dang piece of clothing that will likely fall apart within 4 months.
Downstairs in the basement has grocery and bath products for sale. I didn't realize the basement existed for over a year and then after I realized it, I was afraid to go down there, and once I went down there, I was afraid to buy anything. For some reason, I feel like shampoo that costs $1.50 will eat my hair, despite the fact that its the same brand for $5 at the duane reade next door.
Also, try to avoid the perfume counter at all cost. If you walk past with just the slightest look of interest, the people trapped between the counter and the wall will own your soul and spray you like a skunk faster than you can ask them if they have DKNY Be Delicious. read more
