Excited shoppers crowd the new Nordstrom Department Store on West 57th Street in Midtown Manhattan in New York on its grand opening day, Thursday, October 24, 2019. The seven-level 320,000 square feet store is heralded as a shot across the bow to those who are proclaiming the death of the department store. The Nordstrom store is the largest free-standing store to open in New York in years and besides thousands of products it has six restaurants. The store is across the street in “Nordstrom-ville” from Nordstrom’s Mens’ Store which opened last year. (ÂPhoto by Richard B. Levine) | Richard B. Levine/SIPA USA/PA Images
