    I love spots like this and I hope that we do not lose them with rents getting higher and higher in…read moreNYC. Places like this make the city great! 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.

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!

    NYC Brides beware. She made the week leading up to my wedding so unnecessarily stressful and almost…read moreruined my dress for my wedding day (thankfully It was saved by an emergency appointment with a different seamstress two days before my Wedding) I'm truly shocked that Selene somehow has rave reviews, if you look at yelp and look at the 1 and 2 star reviews, you will see some similar experiences. My wedding was June 27th. She had my dress since April 30th initially she scheduled me for two alterations and then the pick up on June 21st final fitting was supposed to be May 30th. Everything seemed to be going fine until on May 30th the dress seemed to fit well overall just needed a few final touches near the chest (turns out It fit because It was still pinned, I didn't notice initially, I had to go back to pictures and realized this after the fact) because she said on the 30th It needed some more alterations to get the chest area right, she scheduled me for a 3rd final fitting on June 13th. When I'm walking out my door to go to her on June 13th, she calls to tell me she needs to leave as she has a medical Emergency, okay feel better I say, call Me next week to reschedule. When I don't hear from her by Wednesday the 18th, I call her and she says "I'm dealing with this medical issue right now what do you need is there a deadline?" Wild question to ask given the fact that she should have down that my wedding was the following week.. I politely remind her that my wedding is the 27th and I was leaving the 26th so I really needed It by this weekend. She agreed to see me earlier on in the day on the 21st this was I can pick It up that evening if any additional alterations are needed (by the way I later found out that her medical emergency was that she got two teeth pulled as per her report on the next fitting day) Okay this is where things really get out of control. I go in on the 21st and I am SWIMMING in my dress (this is when I didn't realize until after the fact that this is because the last fitting I had on the 30th the dress only fit because It was pinned AKA she did 0 work) she goes "OH MY GOD you lost so much weight WOW what have you been doing you lost several dress sizes, I need to do more alterations, this is too much work to do in a day, I'll work with you but you have to work with me you have to come back to pick up Monday night" I left scratching my head, I really did not think I lost weight at all let alone 2-3 dress sizes in two weeks but she had me convinced that my hot yoga I've been doing made my dress no longer fit, until my friend and I examined the pic from the last fitting. Once I realized she just straight up lied because she didn't do work and instead used my weight as an excuse, I started panicking. My MOH agreed to go with me Monday, we had a game plan.. go in, really hope the dress is done do my Fitting wait until dress is in bag in hand and then call her out. But then It didn't fit. Yes the alterations on the side were finally done but the chest area remained very loose. I think it's important to add, I'm a C cup, very average breast size there's really no reason to have trouble with this if you're a professional seamstress. Anyway, she says to me "yup like I've said since the beginning, this dress still won't fit your chest right, I will have to add straps, it's very normal, tons of brides do It " mind you, this is now 4 days before my wedding and no she never once mentioned straps to me until this appointment. I said absolutely not, you're not touching my dress another second. She responds "well I know weddings can be stressful but I have mentioned straps since the very beginning (she didn't) and it's not my fault you lost all this weight" that's when I decided to call her out on knowing she was lying then she started screaming at me in her shop like truly screaming at a bride 4 days before her wedding when she messed up this brides wedding dress.. It was a nightmare. Her mom comes out from the back room and assures me she can fix It in under an hour and I can watch. My MOH and I sit there awkwardly as her mom stitches the breast area a little more and makes It a little better It was doable I guess with like fabric tape if I wore It as is. Selene comes back after her mom fixes It to do the 'final fitting' and to show my MOH the terrible bustle she did. During this time she tells me.. don't walk backwards you will trip. Selene at the end goes "you made me nervous before can we hug It out?" It was truly the weirdest situation I honestly just wanted to get out of there so I just Said OK and played nice at the end, I wanted to remove myself from any more conflict and stress. She didn't charge me the final payment due to "misunderstandings" according to her, but her deposit was half so I still paid her $390 and I'm pissed about It.

    Selene is the best. I am very type A and detail oriented. I have high expectations for everything…read moreand Selene has surpassed all of them with her work. I brought my two high end couture looks to be tailored with Selene. Not only has she done an impeccable job on the dresses but she has also made me feel extremely confident in her work throughout and in myself as a bride. I am so lucky I found her. She had given me so much joy leading up to my big day and I am extremely grateful

They have many chapters around the city. They are professional and thoughtful. I have taken my professional dresses and suits to the Queens chapter. Your donations are tax-deductible as well which is an added bonus. It feels so good to know that my gently used clothing is going to a great cause and helping women feel confident and empowered as they embark on their career journeys. 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. Awesome team assembled here.
