    With time to spare and in search to bring my summer wardrobe to life I stopped by this 42nd Street/ Eighth Avenue, Port Authority subway station mezzanine level before you exit the MTA subway turnstile. This location is the annex to the Jackson Heights, Queens location which is smaller tighter space and no fitting rooms. There is a large dressing room mirror and the sales associate/ cashier stated you can wear the clothing over your body or wrap around your body for size approximation. I choose one simple black and white skirt $10.00 which unbeknownst to me it contains a small stain. The stain is visible when one closely exams it. I doubt the longevity usage wear of this skirt. Jewelry zinc and silver are a good selection, and clothing appeared ethnic inspired but not stored properly.

    Jewelry is my business, I've worked in the industry for many years and I still love their zinc jewelry. Excellent quality I still have pieces from a year or two ago (purchased from other locations). I love that some of the zinc necklaces are some of the same silhouettes you will find in your gold and silver plate as well as some really unique silhouettes. It's easy to shop this store, it's not huge but the layout utilizes all the space. The guy at the counter let's you do your thing. He sits and chills on the computer. I mention this because usually with smaller stores they are on you and watching like hawks at every thing you look at and touch. The product is a mix of ethnic jewelry, accessories and clothing with some trend costume jewelry you can find along broadway. You can find printed pashminas as well as basic A-line and sheath dresses with cool patterns. Store is merchandised well, you can see every thing hanging clearly. Necklaces aren't tangled on the pegs, neither are the hangers on the racks ( a huge pet peeve of mine ). I purchased two pairs of very comfortable, handmade in Turkey shoes along with a zinc necklace. Very happy!!!!

    Pretty dresses and tunics.

    Doesn't exist , walked in circles - said it was open, but it was empty. 1 star because it made us pay attention to surrounding area.

    This place has the BEST prices and beautiful selections. I always stop in on the way to LaGuardia on the train when I'm visiting NYC.

    I can't wait to take the train just from Brooklyn to Jackson Heights, so I can shop there again.

    I love Muji. I am not much of a shopper. But if I walk by a Muji and I have a moment, I will stop…read morein. I try to resist impulse buys. I am confident, however, I will find something that appeals to my frugality. I do not know if Muji invented the concept of a brand that is not a brand, in the sense of not advertising itself, which ironically achieves its own iconic minimalist status. They have perfected it though. Last time, I got their 90 degree socks. I actually have concluded it is not a gimmick. I have some socks that slip off, at the heel, in particular if I wear them with runnig shoes. These do not. Everything I have acquired from Muji has gone into my regular rotation. The design is good, the quality is there, and the prices are not outrageous. So I commend Muji to you if you have a similar sense of not wanting to want, but being willing to browse. I'm confident you will find something on every visit.

    I am the biggest Muji stan since Martha Stewart said she uses their organizational tools…read more This one's particularly convenient since it's near Port Authority and even though it's Times Square, I never feel like it's overcrowded, even during the holidays. I feel like it's free aromatherapy because they have tons of diffusers going on but never overwhelming. I also appreciate this location is wheelchair accessible. The employees are helpful and never pushy. It has the usual stock of home goods and clothing for men and women, but I don't think this location is particularly large if you're looking for the full array of what Muji offers.
