Tommy Bahama, the popular lifestyle brand, opened their NYC flagship store on Fifth Avenue stretch between Rockefeller Center and the New York Public Library in December 2012.

This project includes 5,000 square feet of men’s, women’s and home decor retail space, 1,300 square feet for the Marlin Bar, and 6,700 square feet of space on the second floor for the Tommy Bahama Restaurant and Bar.

This vacation-esque “lifestyle” concept takes up two levels of the historical Fred F. French building on the corner of Fifth Avenue and 45th Street. What makes this 13,000-square-foot store unique is that it is a hybrid restaurant/retail store. The new store carries the upscale lifestyle brand’s collection of men’s and women’s sportswear, swimwear, and accessories, as well as select home décor items. Out of the 90-plus Tommy Bahamas located around the country, only 13 of them feature this food and beverage component.
