    State News has several stores on the Upper East Side. This one is hidden down a staircase between buildings. You might pass it every day and not know. They do put signs and balloons on the sidewalk so you turn to look down. When you look down you see the windows decorated for a party or a holiday. Go inside and you'll find so much fun. Greeting Cards for everyone. Balloons galore for every occasion. Toys and trinkets. Plus every party need you may have from plates, napkins, banners, utensils and more. Everyone working there is busy stocking up this time of year. You are permitted to browse without being pestered. When you need assistance you're greeted with a smile. How could anyone NOT smile in a store with so much fun and fantasy to offer? Enjoy!

    There are not many stores like this any more. They used to be on every corner. State news has a web site and everything they sell is listed there. http://www.uppereast.com/state-news State News used to take passport photos and I got one taken there 2 passports ago. I just had to update my passport and found out they don't do it any more. Other than that they still have everything else. The only complaint I have about the store is it is very cramped. But it is to be expected in Manhattan.

    I have frequented this business multiple times over the years, never had an issue…read more Approximately 1 and a half weeks ago I purchased over $100 worth of plants. A few days ago as guests were arriving in my home, I noticed one of the plants ($60), was dropping leaves and upon closer inspection i could see it was completely overrun with fungus. It clearly was sold this way, which can happen in a large shop. I had no.time to take it out of the planter and run back over and I couldn't leave it as I have multiple other plants which it could have infected. I took several pictures and threw it away. I got to the shop days later explaining what happened and showing the pictures. I simply wanted to choose another plant, I wasn't even asking for a refund. They refused to do a thing. They said I had to bring the plant back to them. Seriously?? I had guests for days and multiple other plants it could have infected. So I was supposed to put it in a garbage bag and leave it in tbe corner of my apartment for a few days to continue to rot?? This was an awful way to treat a good customer. I will never return and will steer anyone I know away from purchasing in this shop because of this treatment.

    Thank you, thank you! The most beautiful arrangements and curb side pick up services are much…read moreappreciated. The flower arrangement was stunning and the flowers lasted very long. The staff was very communicable and accommodating. I'm so enamored with this establishment I follow them on IG. What's more is they are just around the corner from Sloan Kettering which is a plus if you need a beautiful arrangement for anyone who may be there. Highly recommended.
