The 10 Best Gift & Specialty Shops in New York City, New York (NY)

July 20, 2021 Marissa Gamble

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.

Jangmi Jewelry is the best jewelry store I've ever been to!! From the moment I walk up to their counter, Mrs Kim, Mr Kim, and their daughters always give me a warm welcome like I'm family. They were recommended to me when I was in search of an engagement ring. Mrs Kim literally held me by the hand and made an amazing ring for me within my budget that my fiancee (now wife) fell in love with! Months later I was back looking for a wedding band and they delivered! Gave me a beautiful ring that matched perfectly with the engagement ring at an AMAZING price!! They literally sold me the ring I wanted at a huge discount to make me and my wife happy. Fast forward three years later, I found myself going back to them for a push present for my wife. Once again they delivered big time! My wife had hinted she wanted a second wedding band, so they gave me the EXACT same wedding band for the EXACT same price they gave me the first time!! Overall, I am extremely happy and grateful I found Jangmi jewelry. Not only do they have the best jewelry but they are so friendly with amazing customer service, I'm never going to any other jewelry store. Thank you Mr and Mrs Kim for all your help and support!

Di Palo's

Reviewed By Hran - Bellville, United States

We picked up a red wine from the di palo wine shop next door and paired it with salami, prosciutto, ricotta, mozzarella & stiffer cheeses and olives. Talk about delicious combination! We talked with Lou di Palo who just wrote a new book and he is a very gracious person. It was a pleasure to stop by there and I will definitely return next time I am in NYC.

Reviewed By bencQ4842QF

I live in the UK and I was supposed to pick up the engagement ring with my partner and propose in NYC. That was before Covid hit the world and the our holiday was cancelled. Pete was very helpful trying to think of different options for getting the ring to me without having to post it. Eventually nearly a year later I decided to FedEx the ring and it arrived a few days later. The ring is fantastic and Pete was extremely helpful throughout the whole process. I was a little nervous paying for the ring and not getting to pick it up first but previous customers assured me it would be fine and they were right I didn't need to worry. All in all the ring is fantastic, exactly what I wanted and Pete went the extra mile to make sure it was perfect. Would definitely recommend even if posting to UK.

Kamni was recommended by a few friends and after working with her to design the perfect engagement ring, I would highly recommend her! With the pandemic, the entire process was done remotely over the phone, email, text, and Kamni was very responsive, accommodating, and made the process easier than expected. The ring turned out better than I imagined, and I can't wait to go back for our wedding bands!

This magnificent store is level after level of quality and exquisite jewellery, accessories and gifts LOVE this store - Each trip I make to New York City, I always buy a gift for myself (no one else hahaha), as it reminds me of the magical times in NYC, the people, my friends and events I go to. It's a must see, and the High Tea (which I have missed out on twice now) is amazing, so I hear. You need to book for the High Tea 30 days in advance, if you can.
