Lord & Taylor

Address: 424 Fifth Avenue
Phone: 212-391-3344
Website: www.lordandtaylor.com

This once grand department store has remained a Murray Hill fixture for generations.

Featuring excellent quality, if somewhat staid, inventory, it's still the shop of choice for many New Yorkers.

A staple in many a city abode, especially those with active children.
