Worth it
  • Address1 Centre St, New York, NY 10007
  • From my guide, updated September 2026.

Those with an affinity for New York City need to make a beeline to CityStore, one of the best gift shops in NYC. The entire store is dedicated to the beloved Big Apple, selling New York-related merchandise. In fact, it’s the only official city store in New York. The shop is operated by the New York City Department of Citywide.

CityStore is a hub for tourist information, gifts, and souvenirs. It’s a fun spot to pick up priceless keepsakes (especially if it’s your first trip). Expect to find items related to the NYPD, NYFD, Subway, and Taxis.

Locals Tip. This NYC gift shop is a short 5 minute walk from the Brooklyn Bridge entrance. Make sure to swing by before crossing the Brooklyn Bridge for some epic views of the skyline.

Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.
