Nordstrom opens women’s flagship with celebrity-studded party

On a rainy Tuesday evening double lines formed around the block for the opening of the new Nordstrom NYC flagship women’s store at West 57th and Broadway, right across the street from the menswear store which opened in April 2018. A red carpet welcomed celebrities while inside throngs of the city’s stylish cognoscenti nibbled on small bites from a variety of food concepts, listened to the folksy songs of Karen Elson, danced to DJ Questlove or anticipated the performance by The Roots scheduled for later in the evening. The invite-only affair took place across all seven floors of the 320,000-square-foot space.
