Takashimaya is one of my wife Amy's favorite places in NY to shop. As a bonus, they have a great traditional Japanese tea house in the basement. The selection of teas is fantastic and extensive - if you are a green tea lover (like me) you can really go to town. The food is relatively inexpensive and very good. If you need a mid-afternoon snack or are a guy-non-shopper and want a diversion while your SO shops, it's a great place to plant with a book.
