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

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!

One of the best places to get truffles, they serve all different types of flavors which can be packaged and given as gifts. It is recommended that you consume them under 2 weeks and not to refrigerate or freeze the chocolates. The champagne truffles were the best for me.

So.... I spend months planning a surprise Christmas / Birthday trip for my daughter to go to New York... we get to Heathrow with her having absolutely no idea what is going on and then she finds out where she is off to. I've booked shows, trips up amazing buildings, I've made lists and plans and I have struggled to keep it all to myself for months and yet.... the majority of our 8 hour flight is spent with my daughter most excited instead for the chance to visit the American Girl store!!! Oh mummy can we go when we get there, will it be open, would you mind if I just had a quick look, how much savings do I have... etc etc!! Thankfully we were too late and too exhausted for our first night but just as the doors opened on our first day we were there!! My daughter was suddenly very overwhelmed and worried that maybe it was all too much and too expensive and she shouldn't.... but just while I'm trying to explain that we were there for a trip of a life time and she could absolutely go for it ... we were rescued by the kindest and most lovely personal shopper - Celeste ... who told us she had time to spare and then allowed my daughter a few hours of her undivided and very patient attention. I was so grateful - I just followed along behind and allowed Celeste and my daughter to enjoy. This is a fantastic experience, in fact, it was so good that I have just unpacked an untold amount of American Girl boxes and we absolutely had to go back ..... 4 times!!!! I have a very happy daughter! The shop is enormous - 2 floors of endless dolls and accessories. There is even a salon with hair do's for girls and their dolls, ear piercing and nails. Its a girls dream (I'm told) and the ages in the store range from tiny to I think probably as old as 13. My daughter is 11 tomorrow and I am delighted that she is content to play for hours with dolls and not with phones or computer games. Brace yourselves - its super expensive - but the quality is really good and as far as my experience goes - the look of pure delight on the child is worth every penny. As for Celeste... I hope she is properly rewarded by American Doll - she did a fantastic job!
