Damaris Woodbury, NBC5 Street Team
Free makovers, fragrance samples, free food, patrons and employees losing all inhibitions and letting loose to the tunes being pumped throughout the entire floor.
The energy is extremely high and people are dancing alone and with each other in the perfume aisles. And this is just the first floor, people. Is this really Macys?
I heading straight for the food and stuff myself at the hot dog stand, and continue to indulge myself in the free popcorn and samples of the new organic Frangos chocolate mint — yummy!
I see little kids running around with elaborate face paint and I make my way up to the 5th floor, designated the family floor. There were face painters, balloon twisters, arts & crafts, fake tattoos, kids jumping up and down with musical instruments and singing included in the family entertainment. The parents were just happy to have bean bags to sit in around the FAO Schwartz section, while they let their kids run loose.
I hear sexy, pounding music above me. The seventh floor of Macys has been converted to a lounge with a dj, free cocktails, intimate seating areas and a dark setting. Going to Macys has never been this much fun.
