Indulge in a luxurious manicure or pedicure, including massages with the celebrity manicurist's Rich Girl hand and cuticle cream or Steppin' Out ayurvedic foot cream. Prices start at $15 for a polish change, up to $60 for a Star Treatment Pedicure. Second floor

2. Kids Wear

Parents who get a thrill from remaking little Ethan or Madison in their own image can dress them in brands like True Religion, Juicy Couture, Ralph Lauren, plus Nordstrom's house labels, and a local line, Keiki Kruisers. Shown is a Little Marc Jacobs raincoat, $140. First floor

3. Piano

While some Nordstrom stores have done away with the pianists that had been fixtures since the 1980s, the Ala Moana store will have three pianists dividing shifts at the Steinway & Sons baby grand. First floor

4. Marketplace Café

Shopping can be dizzying after a few hours. If you need a break or boost of energy, the cafe offers salads, sandwiches, pizzas and pastas, with seating for 200. Dishes geared toward local tastes include an ahi nicoise salad and kalua pork pizza. First floor. Quick snacks and coffees can also be found at Ebar on the second and third floors.

5. Gelato Bar

This is a first for Nordstrom, no doubt taking our sunny weather into account. If you've made your way here from the main part of the mall and need to cool off, sample flavors of macadamia nut, raspberry, champagne and pistachio, from local gelato maker Maurice Grasso. In the photo, Tiffany Granger gives us the scoop. First floor

Five more things Nordstrom has to offer:

» Petite Focus: Not everyone fits standard sizes, so this departiment will carry fashion proportioned for women 5-foot-4 and under, in sizes from 0P to 14P. Third floor

» Encore: A nice reference to Hawaii's plus market, for women who wear sizes 14W to 24W and 1X to 3X. Third floor

» Personal Touch: For this complimentary wardrobing service, stylists work one-on-one with customers to create or update wardrobes based on individual needs. They can also assist with personal and corporate gift-shopping.

» Package pick-up: No need to lug your other shopping bags around. Drop them off here for pickup later. Gift wrapping can also be done here. First and second floors

» Accessories: Complete your ensemble with a tour of the Sunglass Shop, Fashion Accessories, Fine Jewelry and Handbag collections. Second Floor
