FAO Schwarz NYC Store, Dec 12, 2003 All animals on this guitar are animated. Through the glass is the Plaza Hotel before it underwent major renovations in 2004. Today, this flagship FAO Schwarz, while GREAT, bears little resemblance to the old toy store captured in this photo The entire retail space that this FAO Schwarz occupies and the surrounding area is very different in present day. Apple's flagship 5th Avenue store dominates the front of the General Motors building that houses FAO Schwarz.
