One of the more magnificent displays we came across was in the windows of the Bergdorf Goodman department store. Located just below Central Park, it is a shining example of an elaborate, imaginative store display. The underlying theme of this particular display was a night at the theater, shown in numerous windows that take up nearly an entire city block. The viewer is taken through a journey window by window that snapshots the story of this imaginary night at the theater. We saw performers on stage, the musicians in the orchestra pit, and even patrons in the balcony watching the performance unfold.
It was cool to see the creativity and detail that are included in each and every window display.

This window was particularly surreal. The viewer got an overhead view while the whimsical band played in the orchestra pit. |

The men's section wasn't as grand, but still had some sharp looking displays. And lots of monkeys playing instruments.
