What I wrote thereFold it away

The New York Transit Museum Store is an underrated gem and I’m hesitant to write about it because I want it to stay that way. But I’d be doing you a disservice by keeping it a secret because they sell some of the best souvenirs in New York City. Expect to find everything from epic subways maps, transit toys and other iconic metro-inspired garb.

What I wrote thereFold it away

The New York Transit Museum Store is a spot most people miss, and while I’m hesitant to reveal it, it’s truly one of the best gift stores in NYC. Offering epic subway maps, transit toys, and metro-inspired items, it’s a perfect spot for unique presents. Kids particularly enjoy these gifts, making it an ideal stop during the holiday season for stocking stuffers like ornaments and small items.

And since the New York Transit Museum is an actual museum, grabbing something from the gift shop becomes more special after having experienced the exhibits. It’s a nice way to remember your time, especially if you did it with your little one.
