Union Square, NY - Store Re-Opening Event Tote Bags? [ Edited ]

[#1]

When will this stores renovation be completed? I am in love with the tote bags given out during the Soho renovation and read on WWD the same promotion is planned for Union Square, Columbus Circle & Time Square.

Thanks to dianabt! Called two stores and here's the official info. Union Square's re-opening is tentaively scheduled for August 10th per store mgmt.  The opening event for Columbus Circle is July 20-21st. Per mall website: "Beauty Insiders will receive an exclusive Sephora Columbus Circle tote bag with any $50 purchase or more." Super cute, durable, NYC themed bags by my favorite store. Can't wait!

@makeupobsessed- Just hop on AMTRAK and you'll be there in no time. By the time I pay for parking and gas, it's about the same for me to take the train as to drive, and you don't have the hassle of finding a garage that doesn't ask for your firstborn child to park. Plus the train leaves you off in a convenient place, you can take a subway to nearly anywhere in Manhattan or the outer boroughs, all in the same building. The seats are much bigger than on a plane and you don't have the annoyance of dealing with baggage issues, you can carry on as many shopping bags as you can, no extra baggage fees!

Whenever I've gone to NY, I've always taken the Megabus. It's very cheap even if you pay full price and the buses leave many times throughout the day, so you can go home every hour on the hour. Nice not having to wait. I love Manhattan...it's my favorite city.
