It’s where Tom Hanks famously played Heart & Soul on the floor piano, and of course, it’s a gigantic toy store! Several stories tall and almost a block wide, FAO Schwarz has something for everyone, kid or adult. It’s also a good stop for unique New York souvenirs, i.e., not those mini taxi cabs or Statue of Liberty keychains.

Yes, the piano from Big really is there! My first trip to Fao Schwarz involved watching my piano-playing dad reenact the above clip from the movie. Memorable! Even if you don’t have the fancy footwork, a stroll around this gigantic toy store will take you back to your childhood, and make you feel really out of touch with “what the kids are doing these days.” Remember when we didn’t have video games and played with dolls and such? Okay, I’m dating myself!
