Recently visited the Apple store at the fifth avenue location. The store has a translucent walls on the top level and these are the transparent stairs that you walked down to get to the store which was underground. It was kind of strange because it was almost transparent and it's not easy walking down. Looks great but it's not practical. They do have an elevator though.
It was really crowded even on a weekday. I had to wait to try out the new computers. I saw some people seriously surfing the net and working on projects and not just trying out the computers. I didn't buy anything as everything was too expensive. Oh, well, it was fun just to look.
This entry is for Weekend Snapshot #4
Thanks for showing us inside of this famous building. I was always wondering about inside of it.

@Amir: I don't if you know this is a retail store - Apple had opened many retails store the last couple of years. I don't know about their corporate store. But this one's a retail store in New York.
I love this shot lissa!

What a cool shot. I've never been there but now I may have to when I visit my sister who lives in Manhattan. I can see that it's impractical and difficult to walk down the stairs but I love the way it looks.

@carver: You can find a location at this link or http://www.apple.com/retail/
Thanks for coming by.
Reminds me of Barnes & Nobles - people sit around and use the books to write term papers and other projects. While I don't use MAC personally I do love to walk through the MAC section of Compusa - the machines look like works of art.

You know, I haven't even ever been there. You'd think I would have made it by now. (On the other hand, I'm a PC person, so it's not exactly a pilgrimage destination for me.)
