Things to do in New York City, New York (NY): The Best Gift & Specialty Shops

June 18, 2021 Janean Rudisill

Conquering New York in one visit is impossible. Instead, hit the must-sees – the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art – and then explore off the beaten path with visits to The Cloisters or one of the city’s libraries. Indulge in the bohemian shops of the West Village or the fine dining of the Upper West Side. The bustling marketplace inside of Grand Central Station gives you a literal taste of the best the city has to offer.

Steinway Hall

Reviewed By lpMaggi713 - Baltimore, United States

We seem to always want to make a stop at Steinway Hall when we visit New York. We were curious because we wanted to see their new showroom which opened several years ago. We were warmly greeted by Betsy when we entered the showroom. We were immediately struck by the white Steinway piano in the window decorated for Valentine’s Day. It was such a welcoming sight to behold. Betsy showed us around and then treated us to a mini concert. She was quite the accomplished pianist. Thank you for being so kind and generous with your time!

Great location to find comics in the heart of Times Square plus loads of figures & pop vinyl for hardcore collectors. Entrance is to a side of a building and you immediately go up some narrow steps. There are two floors to this store and is one of two in Manhattan. Rare limited edition comics for sale behind the counter for those that can afford them. Best tip is there are Free comics to take at the entry/exit.

It’s fun to see all of the artistry that goes into selling candy. Artists have tackled this venue at various ends. The overall design and flow of the store aesthetically pleases. There is a lot of non-candy merchandise that is for sale. Of course, the merchandise is themed to candy. Overall, this is a good stop.

Great store on fifth. Went in looking for a Pittsburg penguins jersey and wasn’t disappointed, had some great help with sizing by a young lad who looked the same as John Lennon, no honestly he did has the hair cut and that’s where the similarity’s end. Great staff in a great shop. Will return.
