The store is run by Hasidim, and obviously has regulars, as evidenced by the yenta who would Not Stop Gossiping with the man at the counter to let me ask one question about merchandise. Positives: the store is well stocked with all sorts of lovely items for a Jewish home, including a wide array of mezuzot, Hannukah toys, kids books, and a Havdalah set that took me back to the one my mom had in the 70's. It's a bit crowded and chaotically organized, but that's because there's a lot there. The thing I really disliked was the guy behind the counter, when I asked where the mezuzot were, said "They are made in Israel, not China. Why should we support them when we can support our own." He didn't know me, nor my politics. But he assumed a casual racism and identity xenophilia I've pushed back against with older relatives my whole life, and I'm not okay with that. Anyway, got some nice, cheap Hannukah candles and a kugel next door.

Once you finish shopping go next door and have a snack and a cold one at Connaughton's Riverdale Steakhouse, which is owned by the same family as Mary Anne's. I love the burger!

I looked online and Googled and read reviews on Yelp and determined that Mary Anne's Irish Gift Shop was the place to go for a great selection of gifts for my Aunt who was turning 60 years old the next day. The great reviews justified my trip from out in Long Island all the way up to the Bronx. And when I got there, I was not disappointed at all. The neighborhood of Riverdale is beautiful in and of itself. So many Irish folks live here that the local Sunoco boasted Irish Products for sale on it's awning. And the shop is situated right on Riverdale Ave so you are right there in the middle of the neighborhood. There is a ton of construction on the block but parking was still good enough to accommodate everyone. I walked down the hill to the shop and there was a message to enter through the pub/restaurant next door. No problem at all and I walked right in and was greeted by a lovely Irish lady who was so sweet and helpful. I did not think it was Mary Anne herself because I called before I went there and was told that she would not be in the shop today. "But she can come down and see me if we needed her." LOL I thought that was great. I love little stuff like that in a shop. I went here because it looked the nicest from the pics that I saw online. I did not want cheap stuff that you can buy at the St Patrick's Day parade or expensive sweaters. They had a nice selection of different items in the small shop. I do not enjoy browsing and window shopping too much but this was fun because of all the cool stuff situated around. I reviewed everything in the shop a few times and decided to get my Aunt a nice clutch purse that was made in Ireland. The lady that worked there told me that "it would last 100 years." I also got a really nice set of silver candle holders for the table with celtic knots all over it. The best part for me was the nice lady that worked there also wrapped them very nicely for me as well. I even got some greeting cards from here with old images from Ireland that were really cool. I enjoyed myself because shopping here was an experience. I promised that I would come back for Christmas shopping! Before I left the store she told me Thank You and God Bless. You just can not get that kind of friendly service many places in NYC at all. I can not wait to go back.

I've seen flyers for mini quilting, paper marbling, knitting, and all types of other craft arts. The prices are not outrageous for items that are all handmade. It's worth its own special trip, even if you're not local.
