    You wait here for the NBC studios tour. Did some browsing while waiting and while the people are friendly, it is absurdly priced even by NY standards. $53 for a t-shirt!. I don't consider myself to be cheap, but where I come from t-shirts max out at $30 and typically run around $20.

    TINA IS THE BEST!! I left a cardigan at the Kelly Clarkson taping and because of her diligence, patience. people skills & kindness she helped me find it!!! She went the extra mile and made my day. You're a real one Tina, THANK YOU

    The best years of SNL!

    Definitely a tourist trap with high prices but there is some cool merchandise from some of your favorite shows. I mainly wanted to come in to view all the classic SNL pictures and merchandise along with viewing the Jimmy Fallon items as well. The store is located on some prime real estate in NYC on the Avenue of the Americas. Nearby is Rockefeller Center, Radio City Music Hall, Times Square, and St. Patricks Cathedral. It is a gorgeous building but then what building isn't in NYC? The store feature items from This Is Us, Friends, SNL, The Office, Jimmy Fallon, The Voice, Seinfeld, 30 Rock and other NBC shows. You can get overwhelmed and think you need to buy so much stuff, but take your time and you will discover that you only need a few items if that. We were too late to complete a tour and I was kinda bummed that Jimmy Fallon was not taping the week we were in NYC, but we still managed to amuse ourselves with the store. The staff were somewhat friendly but not over the top. I ended up purchasing my hubby some "Thank You" cards from the Late Night Jimmy Fallon show, a magnet and a couple of SNL pins for posterity. We are both huge fans of Fallon's show and love Friday nights as this is when Jimmy pulls out his Thank you cards! With the Yelp check in, I saved an additional percentage off. This building houses many other stores, restaurants, the tour of NBC studios and you can access The Top of the Rock here too (another review).

    Complimentary recyclable bag

    Local New Yorker here (not a tourist!) that stopped by the store about a month ago to do some holiday shopping & pick up some "This Is Us" merch for my friends. Thankfully they were super stocked up and I found everything that I needed -- a few Pearson jerseys and a nice mug. There were lots of mugs on display, but unfortunately they were all dusty/dirty... It was a busy morning so when I tried looking around for an associate, they were nowhere to be found. I was also in a bit of a rush to head to work, so I figured I'd just wash out the mug before I gifted it... I don't think I should have to do that but it's whatever, I didn't mind that much. I had planned on using the 10% discount you get from checking in on Yelp, but when I showed it to the cashier person he was very confused as it was clearly his first time seeing/hearing about this. He asked his colleagues about it, and no one knew how to apply the discount. He was kind enough to just quickly scan one of the Today Show 10% discounts that he had on hand which I greatly appreciated. But just a suggestion to management - keep your employees in the loop about this offer! They lightly joked about never being told anything... but were great sports about it. Again very thankful! Love the complimentary recyclable bag that held my new purchases!

    Regular bag for your purchase

    How fun! The shop has everything for all of your favorites from Jimmy Fallon to Seth Meyers, SNL and more. And if your shower before 1:30 PM no sales tax how great is that! Yelp has a 10% off coupon which was really nice as well. Great selection of affordable items and I found a glow in the dark Tonight Show T-shirt which I will treasure. Staff is friendly and helpful and the bags are actually a keepsake

    Coolest stuff. All these years and I never visited. Must see if you're a fan of NBC. I am. They have a lot of security and sales staff none of which are intimidating or aggravating. The building housing the store is one of the most beautiful I visit. As you enter on Sixth which is Avenue of the Americas look at the space all around you and above. Beautiful artwork. You are near Radio City Music Hall and Magnolia Bakery. It's a tourist paradise. St. Patrick's and much more to see. While you're here buy your NBC souvenirs. There was so much to see in the store I need to return. The subway entrance is right outside the door. I was on my way home when I decided to go in. I'll be back!

    This is like walking through a portal to the past (in some cases). Greeters at the door are very welcoming and find out if you want to get signed up for a tour. As you walk through the shop you'll find merchandise from some of the biggest NBC hits throughout history. Friends (my personal favorite), Seinfeld, SNL, Late Night and many, many more. If you know a fan of one of the shows you should check thus place out for some unique items you won't find anywhere else. Keep in mind this is NYC as you look at the prices, they aren't cheap by any stretch. But, good value if you want a unique collectible. Remember to check in on Yelp to get a % off offer that you can redeem when you check out. If you're in the area, it's worthy of taking the time to wander through.

    Triumph in Your Pocket (from their Web site)

    "I've got news for you, you suck!" I don't watch much network TV. I know "30 Rock" is supposed to be good...and "The Office" is funny, right? But when I was between jobs (ahem), I did like "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" before he got promoted to "The Tonight Show"...well, at least sometimes. "Oh Yes, Oh Yes, Ohhhh...Yes." When Jamie W. and I were in New York, we came in here because he actually does watch NBC. As a tolerant travel companion, I ended up browsing through this chockfull-o'nonsense store rather indifferently until I saw this little gadget called "Triumph in Your Pocket" (see the photo). 'You're a great friend...for me to poop on!" Oh, I "love" that nasty canine...well, maybe I just like his cajones, figuratively speaking, ever since he tried to hump the winner of the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. Recently, he was on the red carpet at the Tony Awards where he proclaimed he was seeing "A Who's Who of Who Cares". Priceless. "Please, let me sniff your butt!" He actually pleaded with J-Lo for that honor because "for a dog, it's like climbing Mt. Everest". Anyway, for $10, I got a little yellow doo-hickey with a key ring and six blue buttons. Each button you press lets you hear Triumph's distinctively guttural Eastern European voice shout out one of his trademark remarks in true Tourette's style. I couldn't help it...I got two just for fun. "I like you, but then again I eat my own crap." Anyhow, the store has all the merchandise you could possibly want emblazoned with show logos and characters from pretty much every NBC show past and present. Go crazy if you're into that stuff. Me? Leave me alone. I'm playing with Triumph in my pocket... "I keed, I keed."

    Great bookstore with tons of books, toys, and tons of merchandise from Japan…read more Stopped by since my kid is a huge anime fan. We were exhausted from walking all day but suddenly he found a burst of energy and was fine browsing the store for over an hour. There are two floors with a cafe on the 2nd floor. Overall, there is a really big selection and there were lots of people shopping while we were there. Service was good; the registers are located downstairs and they have lots of cute items + point of purchase displays. I was overstimulated by the time we reached the register but that may just have been because it had been a long day.

Located right across from Bryant Park, it's almost impossible to walk by without going in. It's usually crowded, but that's part of its charm. The store has three levels, each worth exploring. The main floor features an impressive selection of books, including bestsellers and new releases right as you walk in. The lower level is where you'll find collectibles, specialty pens, beautiful notebooks and stationery, unique gifts, even more books, and plenty of cute items that will tempt you to spend more than you planned. The book selection is excellent, although I have to admit the prices can be a bit on the higher side. The staff are always friendly, and checkout is surprisingly quick, so don't let the long lines discourage you. One thing to note: drinks aren't allowed inside, so you'll need to leave them with security before entering. If you're visiting the area or spending time around Bryant Park, I highly recommend stopping by. Whether you're a book lover or just enjoy browsing, this bookstore is absolutely worth a visit.
