“Super helpful- employees always direct me right to what I needed and give me some context around my purchase. Selection seems tremendous, though I’m usually looking for pretty specific items.”
“What an amazing store! Lots of unique sets that are hard to find elsewhere. I thought the Creator New York Postcard for $14.99 was a good souvenir. Lots of big sculptures to take pictures of. Upstairs, you can even have a go at the Personalization Studio or create your own mini-figurines. Even if you don't buy anything, it's still worth a visit”
“Both young and old, everyone's eyes are filled with wonder in front of the magnificent Lego sculptures ☺️☺️.Really good store to visit on the famous 5th avenue”
“Staff were very friendly and even smiled. They didn't talk on telephone while trading with us, they laughed, made eye contact, thanked us for coming in, even though we paid them $10 in quarters.”
“Biggie's is great! The owners are super lovely and run it themselves. Their dog, Biggie, is super cute. Often there's people playing chess outside- it's pretty rad.
Inside is a vintage lovers paradise, or more specifically, a vintage smokers dream. They specialize in refurbishing old lighters, ash trays, and smoking sets. Trust me, they're awesome. If you're not a smoker, they have old magazines, game sets, and old-style soda. If you'd like to become a smoker but are scared, they have candy cigarettes. Sick!
Anyway, I like to pop by whenever I'm in the neighborhood. You should pop in, too.”

“Nice place to shop for cute thingsThey are not always bellow 5$ and I don't like how there are no cashiers but all self cashier they need to bring back human cashiers”
“Love book stores which are virtually a relic of the past. A nice place to spend some time browsing titles. I was looking for books for our grandchildren. I noticed it was a draw for some neighborhood seniors as a place to cool off on a hot summer day while reading up on some titles.”
“The very best thing about our experience were the signature cocktails which were absolutely delicious, distinctive, and beautifully presented. ("The SS Poet" was AMAZING!) If I could go back and do it all over again, I'd go for drinks and an appetizer (the Dolmeh were excellent) and have dinner somewhere else. The food was good but fairly unexceptional with the exception of the Shirin rice which was fantastic and the highlight of the meal. I found the chicken kabob fairly dry and not very flavorful. It has a lovely, warm dining room but very noisy. Portions are very generous; if you order an appetizer, you can split the "feast" and have more than enough to eat.”

“It has a bit of everything. And if you like boardgames, it's worth visiting if only to take a closer look at the games, RPG figures, dice, Magic cards, and everything else that this large library has.I found the prices to be very similar to those found on the internet.”

“I recently celebrated my birthday in American Girl NYC. I'm a young adult doll collector from Europe and I'd been dreaming of getting the full AG experience since I was 8 years old. It was all I had hoped for!!I went with my best friend and the service at the New York Cafe was brilliant— our server, Christian, was incredibly nice and fun, and made our inner child feel positively spoiled. A true professional! Special thank you to him and Keyshawn for singing happy birthday and making our experience so much better. I had an amazing time and made some lovely memories. Until next time, American Girl!”

“I was looking at hobby stores to buy Japanese Pokémon cards, ran into this store and saw that someone reviewed it four stars to ask them a question.. so I’m reviewing 5 stars to counteract cosmic karma for the culture”
“Awesome shop with a great staff. Super friendly and also very helpful. Went on FCBD 2024 & they made my experience so good! Brought a friend & he thought it was pretty cool too. Lots of books and collectibles especially Godzilla stuff!!”
“FAO Schwarz in NYC holds a special place in our hearts. My husband and I had such an amazing time there with our 8-year-old daughter, filled with nostalgia and joy. Walking through the aisles, we couldn't help but reflect on our childhood memories of visiting the best toy store in the world. From the iconic giant piano to the endless shelves of toys, every corner brought back cherished moments. The staff were friendly and helpful, adding to the overall fantastic experience. FAO Schwarz truly captures the magic of childhood and creates unforgettable memories for visitors of all ages.”

“Great shop with many beautiful items for almost every occasion. I bought my mom an amazing body wash set for Mother’s Day and she loved it! Packaging is always thoughtful and neat.”
“Took my son here for the first time, he has been asking me since he saw their table at NA day event. He’s very into Pokémon cards right now. As we were browsing one of the gentlemen gave him a Halloween pack right away. We bought 3 packs and had a good conversation. As we were about to leave the 2 guys gave my son a whole stack of holographic cards for free. There ended up being a holographic gyrados in that stack of cards and my son has been hoping for that card in every pack he opens, it made his day. Great customer service and highly recommend. Great people. Thank you again!”

“This is the closest Lego store to my home. They have a very large selection of builds plus a Minifigures creation station and a wall with an assortment of loose Legos that you can buy by weight.”
“Yes, it's expensive... but well worth it. Service is spectacular (I was shopping for birthday presents for my 1-year old twin nieces.) Great suggestions, great stock. Ask questions, give your budget and they'll help you out. Both clothes and toys are available and unique.”

“Amazing toy store. It is large, clean, and organized, and they carry so many different types of toys for various ages and budgets. They have great prices on sale items during gifting season, and also have a section with items for 1.29. The staff is very helpful, and when my kids gave my husband their Chanukah wish list with pictures they cut out of their sale catalog, a staff member put together the entire order for him, even though it was during the busy December season! They even gift-wrapped each item for no additional charge; even the $1.29 items. The only issue I've had here was that the line can get pretty long during busy times, as there are only 2 registers. So don't come in in a rush before the holidays.I would definitely recomment checking out this toy store!”

“Absolutely our favorite toy store. Excellent curation. Wonderful thoughtful for our daughter. I only wish they opened up earlier on the weekend, because 11 AM is a bit late on a weekend (I’m sure they’ve done the analysis though).”
“It was a great experience as the cashier and everyone in the store was very friendly and chill and the wide amount of comics and manga's, toys, and others is just great and I'm happy on my Asuka soryu figure. Great experience defiantly recommend!”
“Fun store. Energy and items like no other. A real JEWEL of an EXPERIENCE within an ICONIC area that is #TimesSquare Also if you are a student bring your STUDENT I.D for %20 off.Enjoy.”
“Great place for Disney lovers and children. Great products and merchandise. You can fined stuffed animals, plastic toys, clothing, candy, action figures and more! The only thing is things start to get pricey really fast.”
“A great toy store with quality products and a great staff. Well worth the short drive from the center of the slope.If you’re looking for something special for your child, this is the place!”
“This shop is full of memorabilia and is worth a stop. Joe (the owner) is a kind and generous man. My father used to go here all the time and we visited Joe after many years and he still hasnt forgotten about his valued customers. I even got a good deal today on this batman bust by diamond select. Good stuff. Thank you again and wish you the best!”
