It's no surprise Barbie loved going to FAO Schwartz and browsing for toys, especially in her special section. It's a stop we made every time we went to NYC.

Play the piano. You'll feel like a kid again and will probably live longer.

The piano from Big is in the upstairs, back, left corner. Lots of kids waiting to play on it. U can buy ur own for only $250,000. :)

If you have $250k spare then buy a big piano and amuse yourself all day long. Maybe even knock out a scale by knee-sliding across the keys!

This is the greatest toy store I've ever been in. Some of their dolls are a little on the creepy side though...
Mark ServidioMay 18, 2013

It was here where Tom Hanks played 'Chop Sticks' on the floor piano, along with Robert Loggia in the movie BIG.

Used to love this place as a kid. Seems to have lost a bit of the magic. The big piano is now a cheesy photo opportunity.
