“This review is for the Build-A-Bear X Hello Kitty and Friends workshop. Lauren was extremely helpful and professional with our bear exchange. She went above and beyond! All the products here are solid quality with good choices of rare Hello Kitty merch. Thank you again Lauren!”
“The store was so neat I got my passport stamped I’m so happy ! I got a piece they didn’t have in pa store so I got it here ! The staff was so nice ! What an amazing staff you made my husband very happy !”
“A great place to just chill and read, have a cup of java, very easy to find what you need!! My favorite store!!
Also got to meet my favorite author last night, Douglas Preston!”
“My boyfriend and I had the best time at Rumi's! Even though it was so busy because it was Valentine's day, Miles was extremely attentive and made the best recommendations! Would highly recommend Rumi's as a great date spot”

“Love to go there - amazing selection - but you have to understand the experience. It contains a HUGE selection of games, and RPG books. Might be the most in NY State outside of the huge Millennium games up in Rochester. I've found items that have been out of print for years, or had small production runs.
BUT...
Stacked in huge shelves that stretch from floor to ceiling. It takes a while to read through everything! With tiny aisles that barely have room for one person to walk down. If you're claustrophobic, be warned!
It's almost all at MSRP. Not a place to get a bargain or a deal, generally (that said, they do have a bargain shelf at the back of the store. Right hand aisle, left side all the way back).”
“FAO Schwarz was a nice toy store. It is large and well organized, and the staff is friendly and helpful. We went here for the Jellycat Diner, and I have to say that it was very fun and cool. However, if you want to experience it you need to make a reservation a month or two in advance. Also, there may be a line to get in as we experienced, so just keep that in mind when planning a visit here. A negative is that it can get quite crowded inside, but other than that there isn’t too much to complain about. I would say it is worth a visit if you are in New York and love toy stores, or are especially a fan of Jellycats.”
“Great gift shop, has all the regular stuff you’d want to find, but the prices are fair, and the staff are very friendly and kind.
We even got a holiday gift of a free magnet.
Kevin who I believe is the owner is super nice and definitely deserves the credit!”
“I love this place. I visited quite often. It is a small store but lots to see and buy. Little girls love this place. There are a few things for the boys to do. There is a basketball hoop on the main floor and a train set downstairs close to the restaurant. As for the restaurants in the store, it is phenomenal. The food was delicious. I highly recommend a visit when in New York City.
The photos are from my most recent visit (7/10/26)”
“I legitimately don't know where to start. I LOVE this store. I grew up in the neighborhood behind it so it has a massive nostalgia factor for me. The Staff has always been great. Bryan is super helpful with the usually very large amount of questions I have. They probably have more Pokemon, One Piece, DBZ, products in stock than most other stores, They also have very hard to find products, including other TCGs, action figures, and comics(which I don't know anything about) . The TCG prices are always just about even with market. Sometimes a little higher, sometimes a little lower. They also have the only rewards program I've seen in any store like it ever, and I've been to and even reviewed quite a few other stores like it. I just wish they had room to host play events!”
“Johana was very kind to my child . She asked them questions so she knew what book they were looking for, and she gave them very good choices to choose from. My child was completely comfortable around her. This employee is very nice, and welcoming with her customers.”
“Beautiful store! Everything was clean, and organized the staff was very kind and friendly.
The kids had so much fun, especially at the Build a Minifigure station where you can build 3 minifigures for $9.99. They loved choosing all the different parts and putting them together.
It's a lovely place for kids. Mine didn't want to leave and wanted to take half the store home. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area.”
“The cashier was super friendly and super helpful! She gave a simple and clear directions for the book I was looking for. The store is super clean and the little hand written blurbs about certain books are a great window into what the books are about. Great place to go book shopping!”
“I walked in today to purchase comics Pokemon and the guys WERE VERY NICE AND ATTENTIVE. They let me look around and gave me my space to look for what I was looking for. Both men At the counter were extremely helpful and carried great conversation when I needed support. Super knowledgeable and helpful. I have never walked in to Paradox and had a bad experience. I walk in all the time and spend hundreds of dollars with no issues. Paradox can have my business any day of the week with comics and Pokemon. If you ever need anything please don’t be afraid to ask the staff for help or support. They are all awesome!!!!”
“Been going to this place for well over a year now and found the people working are some of the nicest staff there is! They usually have all the comics I want and I love digging through their boxes for old comics!”
“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!”
“10/10 experience the selection is wide and unique for the small space. You can find toys for all ages in there at a decent price! Plus I was being indecisive over a fidget toy and they let me open and and play with them after asking of course! They even tried it out themselves 😆 I also found some good needoh type of squishies in here got a hyland cow for 4 dollars and my fidget spinner for 8! You can beat that right now at all. My daughter got 2 sensory toys as well and she was very happy about it. Definitely recommend this shop to everyone and can't wait to come back on my next trip to the city.”

“A community staple that constantly surprises with the stock and inventory they have for some harder to find collectibles/physical copies of games old and new. Shoutout Mr. Yoo!!”
“i freaking love this place. really great place to buy last minute gifts or when you need a little treat after a long week. i love taking visitors here too.
i’ll never forget when i asked if they sold those blind box cat hats & they didn’t have them on display at the time, but they brought them out from the back for me :)”
“Yesterday was my son’s birthday party and I thought I ordered the balloons- turns out I didn’t. I called the balloon saloon an hour before the party in a panic. There was a rushed charge, but the Balloon Saloon worked fast, took the order, blew up the balloons and delivered to Chelsea in 45 mins. Thank you for your excellent products, customer service and hustle. I will be a customer for life. Thanks for saving a mom’s butt :)”
“If your a Disney fan or your kids have a buzzing stop here in a lighting speed.
To tell the story to your kids after their get their toys.
As their one is a magic experience you can not miss.
Lovely things to see And get.
For yourself or family.”
“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.”

“The staff here are incredibly kind and knowledgeable about the specifics, and give genuinely great recommendations. Michelle in particular was really good at finding tailored recommendations for us and giving us substantive thoughts on science fiction-ey comics, and is very well-read!
Even if you’re not into comics, it’s worth coming in here and asking the staff about comics, and buying something to support an interesting business and team of people.”
“There was a long line to get in, but it moved fairly quickly. Inside, it was crowded and chaotic, but as you’d expect, since it’s a place for kids, it’s normal for them to be fascinated and excited. The prices were pretty high. In any case, the staff was always very friendly, and we were able to create our own personalized bear, too.”
“I was here years before as a tourist and bought some very cute cloths for my niece :) I'm very happy to see your store still existing because it was right when the pandemic hit the city. Wish you guys all the best!!”
“Great place to be and relax with some reading. It is very quiet,clean and organized. I really love how sections are marked for the correct age and categories. My son stayed in the jr. Section for an hr and a half.”

“I am writing this review for the online customer service. Out of all the physical and online stores I went ahead and ordered everything I possibly could for my baby from albee baby exclusively. Their good deals, fast shippings, amazing rewards program, and most importantly customer service support was what I liked the most! Elon, the representative, was THE BEST representative ever. He was very knowledgeable, caring, very detailed oriented and he is the main reason I ended up ordering everything from albee baby. He helped me a lot , thank you Elon”

“Very nice toy store with a decent selection. Reminds me very much of S.W Randall in Pittsburgh. Staff are unbelievably friendly and easy going. This place is worth checking out if you are ever in New York.”
“I would like to thank the store for the excellent RC car. The model exceeded expectations:
high speed and excellent maneuverability;
the remote control works smoothly and without delays, with a control distance of about 30 meters;
the durable body has withstood several drops without scratches or chips;
the battery holds a charge for quite a long time (approximately 40 minutes of active play).”

“Stopped in while visiting American Dream with my 6-year-old and honestly had a great time.
We weren't looking for anything specific, just wandering around and seeing what caught her eye. Between the Calico Critters, Barbie displays, collectibles, blind boxes, plushies, and all the random toys she suddenly couldn't live without, we spent way more time in here than planned. 😂
The store was clean, organized, and there was something interesting around every corner. My daughter loved the photo ops and spent half her time deciding what she wanted to look at next.
The cashier who checked us out was friendly and pleasant, which was especially appreciated considering we visited during FIFA weekend when the entire mall felt absolutely packed.
I can't speak to some of the experiences in other reviews, but ours was a positive one. My daughter had fun, I left with a happy kid, and that's a win in my book.”
