OK, I see it's a holiday carpet or something similar, but I think I need a hint.
Yes, it's a carpet! Now...triangulate!
Whole Foods? Saks Fifth Avenue? Really, I have no idea.
But at least you're not clueless. From your first guess to the next, you've gotten considerably warmer!
Macy's? More specifically, The Cellar? Looks like those old wooden escalators.
Congratulations, debbie--you're hot and back in form!
The world-famous Macy's department store by Herald Square, a New York landmark for many years, rolls out a broad red carpet on the ground floor of its east wing (not the Cellar) during this time of year. Some old wooden escalators linger, remnants of a past when The WPA Guide to New York City described the store as follows: "MACY'S, founded in 1858 by a Nantucket whaling captain, describes itself as the largest department store in the world. Its ten acres of selling space have a daily capacity of 137,000 customers, who may buy anything from diamonds to raspberries."
In October, Gothamist called the wooden escalators "scary," but I think they're charming. Like all escalators, they should be treated with respect and prudence.
Should you use an escalator, be sure to stay clear of edges and keep the exit open so as not to create a "bottleneck" or "pile up." If you obey such common sense instructions, you will maximize your enjoyment of a safe escalator ride.
Safety information for escalators can be found at http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/pubs/5111.html. The guidelines are lacking in advice about keeping the exit area clear, but they seem adequate otherwise.
