West 14th Store in NY

West 14th Store in NY (Now With Pics)

Tonight was the grand opening. Did anyone go?

I did. Besides freezing in line, waiting for almost 5 hours, the store is really nice. Everyone got a T-shirt, a poster and a free gift. I got a free iTunes gift card for $10. Someone behind me got a free iPod Shuffle. This other guy i saw got a iPod Touch. The poster cap had a sticker which showed you what you won. Too bad i didnt get a iPod, but im happy with the gift card. Atleast i got something out of it.

I would've loved to go.. However I don't live in NYC.. The last tiem I was there was about 4 years ago. I'd like to go again. I'm actually planning a trip for 2 weeks to NYC for this summer coming up, so if any one in NYC from these boards would like to meet up, we should talk lol.

I went, and it was fun. Although some people started to get crazy as we waited in line. Nice to have another Apple store in NYC!!!!

So how many are in NY now: 4?

That's pretty sweet that they were giving away iPods and stuff. That helps me rationalize why people would wait hours and hours out in the cold.

Any pics?

There are 3 in Manhattan. (One in SoHo, one on 5th Ave and then this one) I dont know how many there are in the entire NY state. I do know there is one in the Staten Island Mall.

I didn't even know about the free apple products. The only thing i knew was about the free shirts and posters. I was there alittle bit before 5, and the line was pretty long. I didnt get into the store til about 9. Even when i was in the store, people were still waiting in line. I wonder if everyone got in, the store closed at 12.

Here are the pics!

I do have a few, but there not great.













The poster. Its a big map of Manhattan, on iPhones, pin-pointing the Apple Stores.


The shirt


My free gift cards.

Considering Apple's limited line of products, I wonder what in the world they are filling 3 stories of retail space with. I suppose there are many demo models.

Are the floors separated by product? (Ipods on first floor, Macs on second, accessories and 3rd party products on the third)

I really dont remember. I know that the Genius Bar and some iMacs are on the 3rd. The 2nd are the iPhones and iPods and the 1st are the MacBook and MacBook Pros and where you pay.
