“Highly recommend Rumi's Kitchen. It was my first time there and the server showed me the ropes to their menu and everything was so good. Reasonable pricing too and the portion sizes are LARGE.”

“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!”
“This store may not have the largest footprint, but they make excellent use of the space they have. The walls are filled with well-organized displays and eye-catching box sets, and a few larger LEGO builds are showcased throughout the shop. Overall, it’s a fun and worthwhile stop for both locals and visitors.”
“NYC's longest running board game & rpg shoppe (I think, my research is minimal on this) is literally floor to ceiling games. You can find not only new release, but titles from decades ago among it's packed shelves. This place is truly worth a visit when you are in Manhattan.”
“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.”
“Excellent engaged staff. Finally have Starbucks and B&N fully integrated. Sorry to see the loss of a floor. Loved how they got me a book I needed in a day or two that Amazon -didn't have...and no pressure to buy it. So, i read 1/2 in the store and enjoyed it enough to take it home. Great experience!! Pleasantly surprised!!!”
“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!”
“Small shop with many fun and great gift options. Service was excelent and very helpful. Would recommend this shop over most other ones on broadway. Got a free gift bag with purchase.”
“I love that B&N is pet friendly. It's a great place to visit, browse for my next read, and take the fur-baby for a climate controlled walk through the aisles. If you or your dog get thirsty, you can stop at the Starbucks in the store for a drink and sit at the cafe tables or comfy chairs. My dog loved her pup-accino. Side note, taking a dog to such locations is also great for dog training, provided you hold the leash tight and remain aware of other dogs and people/children who may be fearful of dogs.”
“Was in the store this past Saturday. There was a kid who was a little short on his purchase. The cashier came over and put up the money he needed to be able to purchase a football. He walked out of there super happy. Times like these we need a little kindness. What may seem small to others can be really big to someone else. I dodnt get her name and I should have but just wanted to share her kindness.”
“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!”

“Absolute gem of a store. One of a kind. The employees are friendly and knowledgeable. They've ordered specific comics for me to the shop. They've kept me updated when they arrive. Fun store to walk around and get lost in nostalgia. Wouldn't get my comics from any other shop. Even if I was in a life-threatening situation, I'd still pick Zapp! Comics. Thank you to everyone who works there! Zap to the extreme!!”
“An absolutely magical experience! The Disney Store in NY is full of charm, great merchandise, and friendly staff. From classic characters to the latest favorites, there’s something for every Disney fan.”
“Who doesn't love a bookstore! Thank goodness BN still exists! Otherwise, I would not be able to share my love of books and bookstores with my grandchildren. The best part for all of us (well, for me) is the toy section (telescopes, microscopes, you name it, it's there). The Grands also loved the children's book selections.
I must also mention the staff! They were very helpful and pleasant. In a world where customer service is almost nonexistent, I must give compliments where they are due! Please keep up the good work and great customer service!
Training is everything!”
“We ordered Curved Organic Balloon Columns in our school colors, and the name of our school, for our Gala and they were absolutely perfect! In fact, they were better than we could have asked for. Thank you so much to Tiffany and the Balloon Saloon team for all of your help! Tiffany, specifically, was fantastic and got to our order inquiry promptly which was greatly appreciated as our event was fast approaching. We will certainly work with Balloon Saloon for future events!”

“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!!”
“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 place is stock with a variety of Smiskis at some of the best prices I’ve seen in the city. The vibe? Imagine rummaging through a collector’s garage. The staff mostly looked like they’d rather be napping (shout out to the friendly staff in basement) If you are still on the hunt for Labubu, you’ll feel right at home.”

“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).”
“I think this is my third time going to this Build a Bear. I loved it. We arrived a bit too early, so we only waited like 5 minutes outside. The staff was wonderful. The store was clean, and I felt like a child all over again. It wasn't crowded and the cashier was more than patient with me when we arrived at the front to pay. The only reason I removed a star is because the associate told me that they changed the way the certificates are created now. Apparently, we can't add the names anymore. You have to actually write it down afterwards which I didn't like because everything else is written on the birth certificate. So, that was a bummer. But other than that, I loved the experience and I had fun.”
“GIRLY and expensive. Good place for kids or teenagers who like K-pop singers logo goods or small Korean gadgets. Over priced but has decent foot traffic to non-Koreans and Korean kids alike.”
“I visited here when I was in New York last summer.
I went into this store looking for a souvenir for my daughter.
There are many cute miscellaneous goods. I bought some hair clips. It's not cheap, but it's very cute.
However, the friendliness of the store staff is not very good, even considering that this is America.”
“I love this store Open to 6 different locations.There are some items that you find in all of the stores but each store has different items Some cater to children some the home and pets the workout products have not been as good as they have in the past The gateway plaza has More of a selection. Haven't been there in a. while, So it may have changed. They used to have the candy from back in the day. I don't find it as much anymore.”
“Line Store things are usually expensive, at least directly in store you save on shipping.
I bought BT21 stuff, they have a great selection, some US exclusives, some NY exclusives even.
Totally recommend visiting if you like BTS & BT21”
“We Enjoy coming to this location of Lego store. They have so many different items displayed to see what they look like once they put together. They had a wonderful variety of Lego pens that I have been looking for. The staff is very friendly and helpful in finding what we needed. Also very organized and clean.”
“So many cute figurines!!! Adorable shop that will make you want to buy everything ? Also to the staff/cashier who told me about the choco chiikawa boxes: if you’re reading this, thank youuuuu!!!! I didn’t get Hachiware but still happy with Chiikawa ????”
“I went into the GameStop in Lyndhurst to buy the New Xbox generation and Craig who was working couldn’t have helped me more. A great employee with an even better attitude. I will ensure that I come back to the GameStop in Lyndhurst to do business because of employees like that. He couldn’t have been more respectful and cooperative.”
