Tom stalks the mean streets of New York City with the poise, grace, stealth and attitude of an alley cat marking his territory, with a knowledge of every inch of his turf, built on years of roaming in pursuit of suitable prey

I remember them in the oldest original part of the store. I have not been there in 20 years and used to be there daily 🤔 There was always a joke “Does Macy’s tell Gimbles?” The subway went directly into “Gimbals basement” . I remember a black Nd white dress my size that mom found on the floor. It was a good quality but sold to my Mom for $2 which was still a lot of money then. There is scaffolding everywhere - all the time.

Does anyone remember opposite Macy, on the corner - a big Toys R Us building. They had a huge merry go round inside in the middle of mall but up a glass elevator not on main floor. Some stores had a HANDS ON children encouraged to play tables. I lived in Queens at the time so took the bus over the 59th Street bridge with a two to four year old. From LI Nassau County took the LIRR (Long Island Railroad) into Penn Station and walked a little. We didn’t have much money and this was a day of exploration and enjoyment. We brought our own snacks and I was never afraid then!

The biggest Woolworths, lunch counter and all was opposite of Macy on 34th street. (Gimbals was 33rd-32nd). St Francis of Assisi church between 32nd and 31st.) Every trip had all three stops - subway into Gimbals, take escalator upstairs to main floor, walk to other end - cross street and go into back door of St Francis up the block from Penn Station and Madison Square Garden. Then walk over to Macy’s ……the only place two generations visited Santa (yours truly & off spring). Special Memories!

Besides he didn't mention St Francis ( maybe b/c as I remember have to walk west down the street to get to entrance) and when he mentioned the Miracle on 34thSt.didn't mention specifically that is where not only the movie was made about but where Santa appeared in the ist floor window and you could see from the street the childern visit Santa.Besid3s the Christmas window

The old Herald Square Hotel 19 W 31st, now the Life New York Hotel, was the legendary home of LIFE Magazine. The Herald Square Hotel used to have all of the original LIFE Magazine covers framed around the hotel and was a hidden gem slightly off the beaten track.

Hi Tom, My name is also Tom. I do enjoy your videos and the interesting pieces of trivia you add to them. I'll have to watch more of them .As I said, you remind me of this friend I had in Brooklyn I'd come up to visit. When we went out places, I was the one who said the trivia and he didn't appreciate it. I learned a lot about the Big Apple before I actually got there and a lot places I recognized from the movies. Years ago I worked for Gimbels in Pittsburgh so I had to see the Manhattan Mall. The building up from it was originally the Saks Department Store until he was remodeled. It was the same ones the had Saks Fifth Avenue that Gimbels later owned. I usually dressed like you so I wanted to look like a native and not a tourist. My last visit in 2009 I stayed at a hotel a block from the Empire State Building. When I was younger, I actually walked the route of the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade from the New York Historical Society where the parade forms down to Herald Square. I was younger and had the stamina to do it. I can't do it now. There are videos on You Tube that show the old elevated trains that ran in Manhattan. I guess you've be thought to be Italian but I see by your name you are Hispanic so you have the Latin looks. like Italians. I'm I'll be sure to watch more of them and share a little of my own trivia. There are some nice pizza places near by so I hope you had a slice and a soda. Stay cool ! Tpm from Pittsburgh.
