Some store names may be similiar, but I find very different goods, often a better selection, as climbermom noted below. The Macy's in AM has a ton of Hawaiian/beach, etc wear, as compared to mine here in Newport Beach. Plus, it has the wonderful Pineapple Room for Lunch! I also love Mariposa at NM for lunch, but know other Neiman's have them - just not with papaya butter for their popovers!
To the OP, be sure & have lunch at one of these - you'll love it!!
