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

April 24, 2022 Kelli Reichel

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.

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.

Me and my was at the Soho in NY. My daughter was looking for nice boots, so when we saw the store we entered in and my daughter tried some of the boots. The sales man and the owner of the store was very nice and help full. I very much recommend to go and see the store, and the beautiful boots and huts.

McNulty's Tea & Coffee

Reviewed By frost40000 - Boston, United States

If you drink tea or coffee at all, you have to stop in here. It's a tiny shop that offers so much, including rare teas that are almost impossible to find elsewhere. If you can't decide what you'd like, the owners and salespeople know the inventory so well that they'll give you great recommendations. I usually buy tea and some of my favorites are golden assam, mango black tea, ginger black tea, and earl grey. I try to make it down from Boston at least once a year to stop in and stock up.
