- <td> <p><b>SPOTLIGHT ON: RETAILERS IN NEW YORK CITY</b></p>
- <p>Macy's, B. Altman's, Saks Fifth Avenue and Abraham & Straus
- are just some of the great department stores that have been located in
- New York City. Others like IKEA and Filene's Basement are relative
- newcomers. Retail stores, large and small, are an essential New York
- business. This article highlights some publications on department stores,
- shopping malls and the retail business.</p>
- <p><i>Bloomingdale's 100: Perspectives on a New York Tradition</i> celebrates
- the centennial of Bloomingdale's in 1972. The history of the store
- is presented along with photographs from various time periods and historical
- information about New York City over the years covered. Bloomingdale's
- was established in 1872 by two brothers of the same name and eventually
- expanded in terms of physical space, number of stores and merchandise
- offered.</p>
- <p><i>Retailing New York </i>is a report from the Manhattan Borough President's
- office published in June 1996. Surveys of both New York City residents
- and retailers were conducted. Findings and analysis are shown in the
- report. Case studies of seven shopping areas such as Arthur Avenue in
- the Bronx and Fulton Mall in Brooklyn are presented along with discussion
- of the typical users/shoppers, access to the stores, private and public
- investments, strengths and challenges. The retail economy in the city
- is also examined and recommendations for the future are offered.</p>
- <p><i>Great Merchants of Early New York: "The Ladies' Mile"</i> by
- Joseph Devorkin offers historical sketches of several New York retailers
- that opened for business on the famous "Ladies' Mile." This
- shopping area extended from 14th and the Union Square area, up Broadway
- to 23rd Street in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
- Many stores such as Lord & Taylor, Henri Bendel, F.A.O.Schwarz, and
- Bergdorf Goodman started here before eventual relocation or closure.
- Included are contemporary and historical photos and excerpts from original
- newspaper advertisements for the stores.</p>
- <p><i>IKEA Red Hook: Final Environmental Impact Statement</i> prepared by AKRF,
- Inc. and other consulting firms for the Department of City Planning is
- a study of conditions on the site of a proposed IKEA furniture department
- store. The report, required by law, as part of the land use process,
- discusses the socioeconomic factors, waterfront, environmental conditions
- and hazards and various other key elements. </p>
- <p>Consult the vertical files for articles and other materials on retail
- stores and shopping malls. Find out more about shops, merchants, the
- retail business and what they contribute to the city's social life
- and economy.
