Closing Bell: Seats at Fulton Mall
Earlier today we wrote on the future of the Fulton Mall and the completion of the $15 million streetscape improvement plan. Well, this weekend we noticed a whole bunch of benches along the mall almost ready to come out of their packaging. All the better to sit and listen to that non-stop Christmas music!

the fulton mall thread comments should be copied and pasted from one to the next, to save everyone the effort of typing the same thing over and over.
Macy’s has gotten better. A couple of years ago it was difficut to find someone to take your money.
Even Macy’s Herald Aquare can’t compare to the Macy’s men’s Store in San Francisco, but then you gotta dodge all the homeless people on the way, which Fulton Mall doesn’t have!!!
I wish I liked the downtown Macy’s better….it is horribly understaffed, which is the main problem. I do end up shopping there from time to time, though, and never go to the Herald Square Macy’s anymore…..I’m a “frownstone” Brooklyn shopper on Fulton Street as well….
Perhaps my expectations are not high enough, but I don’t even really get the hating on Macy’s.
Sure, it’s not Herald Square, but the few times I have bought stuff there it did not seem any different that the department stores (including Macy’s) I have been to in other parts of the country.
aww whats wrong brownstoners? nobody wants a free cell phone? nobody wears jordans? dont worry, shake shack is coming!
11217 – totally agree with you. anything that will help flatbush and the fulton mall is good for all of brooklyn. feel this way about the new whole foods coming and AY. putting brooklyn out there as a world class place is good for all owners of brooklyn property.
It is in the nature of cities to change. Preservationists can only save the buildings, what happens in them and around them is another story. One thing is certain, the Fulton mall of the future will be different than the Fulton mall we are accustomed to.
Yeah, I shop the mall quite often & also adore xmas music!
