5203 Bergenline Ave, West New York“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”
“This is an AMAZING boutique that not only has some of everyone's favorite blind box items (smiski, sonny angel, etc), but also showcases and sells incredible products (stickers, bags, pins, plushies, jewelry, apparel, prints, and more) from a TON of NYC and Queens based local artists and small businesses.The staff at the store are super friendly and it's a really wonderful little place of sunshine and kindness in the city. I plan to visit every time I'm in Queens!”
“This is a place where all your nerdy, anime loving dreams come true. Staff is very nice and helpful all the time. Overall a great place to shop for your nerdy/geeky crafty needs.”
“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.”
“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.”
10AM - 8PM
761 Metropolitan Ave, Brooklyn“Artist & Craftsman store for years— I’ve been so happy to find that the Williamsburg location offers the same level of warmth and kind customer service! Taylor and Abdiel helped me find some leather paints this week, Bryn and another associate (whose name is escaping me, sorry) helped me with spray paint/acrylics recently as well. Everyone was so patient and they never make me feel annoying for asking advice about the products. I will keep coming back, because the experience reminds me of home :) also the music always slaps. 10/10”
“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.”
10:30AM - 6PM
11 E 33rd St, New York“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.”
10AM - 7PM
75 Rockefeller Plaza Floor 1, New York“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
11AM - 6PM
488 5th Ave, Brooklyn“Yossi was the best. He was extremely patient with us as we asked endless neurotic questions about car seats and strollers. He was very knowledgeable, demonstrated how to use and fold everything, and gave us great suggestions we didn’t even think about. So glad we found this place.”
“Omar's store is great. It seems that no matter your favorite collectibles fandom, they will have it here: dolls, video games and consoles, Star Wars, board games, sports cards and Pokemon cards. Want Squish mallows or a Croc charm? They got it. They also have an array of party supplies.
In my experience, the greatest part is how he treats the kids who come for the collectible cards. When they come to buy, sell and trade, he treats them with *respect*, honesty and integrity. If they come to trade, he'll tell them what the real trade-in value is. If they come into sell, he'll tell them the true selling value. If they come in with their card binders and they like to collect a certain kind of card (eg various kinds of Pikachu cards), he'll recognize and respect that. He'll leave those alone and won't try to persuade your child to sell them. He knows what each kid is into and will keep cards that they request behind the counter for them for a week.
Other stores' proprietors treat kids with derision, condescension and disdain. But Omar is kind and interacts with the kids in a light-hearted and respectful manner. I can't stress that enough and that's what will keep me and my Pokemon-loving son coming back!”

337 1st Ave., New York“Today was my mom’s birthday and I wanted to buy something they offered to bag up the thing I bought her service is 10 out of 10. Also a lot of fun stuff like Legos plushy‘s and more! Totally recommend it 100%”

“Lovee Artist and Craftsman! This location reminds me of the location that was once in my old neighborhood (R.I.P Bridgeport location) it has the same vibe. Pleaseee stock more stationery/stickers similar to the brand you already have (Suatelier)! Staff is nice and you can find literally everything for reasonable prices here :)”
“This Comic Book store is a ? in Greenpoint. They have Collectibles also. Their Comic Book collection is very extensive. They have a good price range. Dylan was extremely helpful and very nice. If you're into Comic Books you should definitely check this place out.”
