souvenirs

where is the best and cheapest place in NYC to buy souvenirs?



Thanks for advice.



souvenirs


What kind of souvenirs? A souvenir subway map? Taht%26#39;s free. Souvenir diamonds from Tiffany%26#39;s? That will cost you a bit more. Everybody likes different kinds of soubenirs, so you really do need to narrow it down.

Tiffany%26#39;s? I wish.



I meant knick knacks for people at work, family, friends, etc.



mabye refridge magners, pens, that sort of thing. Every time we travel, I like to keep it on the low down but my husband tell everyone and their mother that we%26#39;re traveling so then I feel awful if I don%26#39;t bring them back some sort of cheapy knick knack.



Thanks for you help.




Try Mott Street in Chinatown, between Worth and Canal.




in times square there are a lot of little shops that sell affordable goods... try to avoid the ones right next to the theaters, etc... bc they most likely will rip you off... but u most certainly can find really good deals at some of them!!





u also can%26#39;t go wrong w. getting famous food goods (such as stuff from chelsea market, there is a fab little italian shop there if i%26#39;m not mistaken) or tea from the best tea shop i%26#39;ve ever bn to, teany in the lower east side(?). :D





have fun!!!




All around Times Square are shops that sell the ';I (heart) NY'; T-shirts, six for $10. They make nice little gifts for family and friends.




Like people have said before me-pretty much on every street in Times Square there are many stores that sell souveniers.




If you want something a bit more original, the gift shop at the UN has some neat stuff. I got a few magnets there. It%26#39;s fun to check out some of the kitchier shops in the Village. The NYC Public Library also has a nice gift shop and I found a cute little taxi stuffed bear at the Toys R Us in Times Square.




Ohhhh.and how could I forget!!! Chocolate from Max Brenner%26#39;s in Union Square!




There are lots of great threads about souvenirs. Put ';cheap souvenirs'; or something similar in the search box, and you %26#39;ll get posts like this one:

I agree - museums are great places to get souvenirs..




The Transit Museum Annex, in Grand Central Terminal, has wonderful souvenirs.





If you happen to be in Century 21 go to the housewares department on the lower level, they have great stuff and it is very inexpensive.
