What to do and see in Times Square, New York (NY): The Best Gift & Specialty Shops

April 2, 2022 Terina Blouin

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.

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.
