This is the headquarter of Tiffany, so you can expect it to be large, and have a lot of people. The associate team is a mixed-bag. There are really polite and helpful associates, as well as the rude ones. Be aware that the associates do discriminate the clients, so if you are wearing rags with supermarket bags, the associates would probably not even greet you. If you are wearing a mink jacket, holding and Hermes handbag, the associates would be all over you. The executive manager, Michael, is a really nice person though. You can always count on him, and is very responsible.

Honestly, in this day and age, I didn't expect a lot of attention when I ventured into Tiffany's. They are so revered, so famous, that I expected a very polite and bland reception. I found the Tiffany people to be friendly, educated, and really interested in helping me. I may have to save up, but I'll be back. Pros: quality merchandise and staff Cons: it was a little bit crowded on a Saturday

I got over my fascination with Tiffany when I turned 25. It seemed like the right time. Yes, the blue boxes are cute, but can't we come to terms with this company for what it is? A marketing masterpiece. The store is laid out for tourists to enjoy window shopping an experiencing that Audrey Hepburn moment...looking at diamonds but only being able to afford sterling silver. The mid-country tourists swarm this place on weekends. I don't know how the staff puts up with the lookey-loos. But put up they do. It's still a great place to get classy graduation gifts.

Tiffany & Co. used to be an exclusive shop (one might not dare pass through the doors without having a bank account large enough to back it up). As our economy and consumerism has changed in the decades since Truman Capote created Holly Golightly, Tiffany's has embraced the middle class with its fairly affordable silver jewelry and gifts. I miss the exclusivity a bit - I remember walking in for the first time as a 16 year old with my parents (looking for a birthday gift)...it all seemed so classy and fairytale. Now, walking in on a Saturday afternoon can feel a bit like wandering through a mall. Oh well. I still come here for the odd piece of jewelry and wedding gifts for friends near & dear. We did not purchase our wedding rings here as the service on the engagement ring floor was atrocious! Be warned! I have been pleased with the service otherwise.

Tiffany & CO is the greatest of the high end Fifth Avenue Jewelry Emporiums. Four floors of great jewelery, flat ware, picture frames, watches and all other sorts of gift items. Just like in the movie Breakfast At Tiffany's you can purchase something for less than thousands of dollars. They are very browser friendly.

They don't open for breakfast but the rest of the day could easily be spent shopping at Tiffany's. Even though 90% of the people who walk through the door are just looking that doesn't stop the staff from being friendly and courteous all the time. Leave the ground floor and wander the other floors. See the silverware displays. Just a wonderful place to spend some time.

This old gray mare ain't what she used to be. The former sparkling silver throughbred is now just gray. Once this was the place to go for fine goods and even finer treatment. Now, expect long waits as the sales people chat with one another and ignore you. The customer service area resembles a hospital waiting room with nicer appointments. Plan to spend the day waiting. It is really sad what has happened here. The service has declined. OK, the world is different. But if they need to change, they need to drop the pretention. If you want nice silver, go to a handcraft store. If you want diamonds, go to the jewelry center. You can buy a torquise box anywhere these days.

There really is a Tiffany diamond, right there on the first floor. While this legendary store can be a touristy nightmare on weekends, it is much more manageable. Aside from gems and watches there is a second floor selling clocks, scarves, leather accessories and silver jewelry. The service staff is very attentive and not pushy. Since most of the wares are out of my fiscal league I can't compare their prices to other stores -- but the box looks so great when you open it!
