To enter the ultra-chic New York-inspired installation, guests have to go through a replica of a subway turnstyle. A virtual sun setting casts light on the space as well as city noise filling the room, captures the hustle and bustle of New York. Fostering the city vibe, there are also food vendors who will sell soft pretzels and coffee from carts to give shoppers the ultimate New York experience.

When taking a stroll down “Fifth & 57th,” guests can find themselves in Charlie’s, a speakeasy bar named after Tiffany & Co.’s founder Charles Lewis Tiffany. At the speakeasy bar guests may purchase New York-inspired cocktails, while listening to music played by live DJs until 9 p.m.
