Everything is of the highest quality and in most cases the garments and leather goods will last forever. Street parking is available. The prices of her products can't be beat even if you are planning a trip to Ireland. Mary Anne and family are wonderful, helpful and sincere. Gift wrapping is always offered. Once you finish shopping go next door and have a snack and a cold one at Connaughton's Riverdale Steakhouse, which is owned by the same family as Mary Anne's. I love the burger!

I looked online and Googled and read reviews on Yelp and determined that Mary Anne's Irish Gift Shop was the place to go for a great selection of gifts for my Aunt who was turning 60 years old the next day. The great reviews justified my trip from out in Long Island all the way up to the Bronx. And when I got there, I was not disappointed at all. The neighborhood of Riverdale is beautiful in and of itself. So many Irish folks live here that the local Sunoco boasted Irish Products for sale on it's awning. And the shop is situated right on Riverdale Ave so you are right there in the middle of the neighborhood. There is a ton of construction on the block but parking was still good enough to accommodate everyone. I walked down the hill to the shop and there was a message to enter through the pub/restaurant next door. No problem at all and I walked right in and was greeted by a lovely Irish lady who was so sweet and helpful. I did not think it was Mary Anne herself because I called before I went there and was told that she would not be in the shop today. "But she can come down and see me if we needed her." LOL I thought that was great. I love little stuff like that in a shop. I went here because it looked the nicest from the pics that I saw online. I did not want cheap stuff that you can buy at the St Patrick's Day parade or expensive sweaters. They had a nice selection of different items in the small shop. I do not enjoy browsing and window shopping too much but this was fun because of all the cool stuff situated around. I reviewed everything in the shop a few times and decided to get my Aunt a nice clutch purse that was made in Ireland. The lady that worked there told me that "it would last 100 years." I also got a really nice set of silver candle holders for the table with celtic knots all over it. The best part for me was the nice lady that worked there also wrapped them very nicely for me as well. I even got some greeting cards from here with old images from Ireland that were really cool. I enjoyed myself because shopping here was an experience. I promised that I would come back for Christmas shopping! Before I left the store she told me Thank You and God Bless. You just can not get that kind of friendly service many places in NYC at all. I can not wait to go back.

I highly recommend donating to Dress for Success if you have any professional clothing that you no longer need. It's a small way to make a big impact in someone's life.

I kinda stuck out like a sore thumb, in that my previous job was in culinary arts with mainly a uniform/comfortable attire. when DFS came up as an option I having never heard of them clicked on their website first out of curiosity, and boy am I glad I did. This awesome network came to the rescue by not only providing decent work pieces, but went the extra mile by way of a virtual styling session to ensure I was well equipped in putting it all together, even incorporating some clothing I already had on hand. Ms. Susan's (Sue's Picks:) advice, cuing, and expertise in proper business etiquette were invaluable, and rendered in such a way that gave me the know-how and confidence to pull of my new look in the new workspace.

I understand that there isn't much the store can do to combat this. I guess I'm trying to inspire new customers to seek out the store and treat themselves to something nice before it ends up resold for a larger price. It would make me feel a lot better about donating if I knew it was going to someone who would appreciate it a good bargain.
