Cutandcropped came to the rescue without even knowing!…read more I drove an hour and a half just to come here for some very special custom bracelets I wanted to get for my nephews. It was SO much fun and a little overwhelming also with all the incredible choices but sooooo so so so so so worth it. You can even customize with laser engraving any charm of choice which was the perfect touch. The staff was so kind and patient, especially the girl helping me with the custom engraving, she was the BEST. You can easily spend a couple of hours here picking things out. It's the perfect place to come with your bestie, your other half or just to treat yourself. I had so much fun with this experience and can't wait to come back.

This is such a fun cute idea. I originally didn't review it because I got my first bracelet free…read morehowever, I went back and paid for a 2nd bracelet. I loveeee the process of picking charms even tho right now it's hot & it was even hotter with all those people there trying to look for charms as well. One of the employees gave me a fan to use . They are very helpful, there are gold charms and silver charms. My first bracelet was silver & went back for a gold one. You can ask the employees to help find a charm if u see it in gold but want silver & vice versa. I thought they would eventually get annoyed of doing that but if they did they never expressed it in their face so that was a plus. It's a fun adventure with your homegirls, daughters, mothers etc..

The mix of brands is fire, the quality is legit, and the prices were better than I expected. Shipping was quick, everything came in perfect, and the whole experience was smooth from start to finish. It's rare for an online order to feel this easy and actually deliver on style, quality, and price, but Extra Butter did exactly that. Definitely shopping with them again.

Got the sizes I wanted to try on out of the back. Store is very clean and spaced out nicely. A good experience. But online orders? Every one of the three times I've ordered something online from this spot, they cancel my order a few days or a week later, with no explanation given. The latest time, I asked them why they cancelled and got ghosted. The shoes I ordered now cost $150 more on resale markets. Fine. On to the next, I'm over it. But just beware. Shady business practices. I will never be coming to this store again or ordering online from them. Good luck to them in the current streetwear market. Much more trustworthy competitors out there if you're willing to look.

This holiday market is always packed with so many vendors stands. I always marvel on how narrow and…read moresmall some stalls can be. There are only three feet across with some stalls while other vendors have a lot of space. The winter hat, cool decor, jewelry are always the top of the shopping list. Check the opening time which is at 11 am on some days and not all stalls are open immediately at 11 am but most of them are. There are always food items too but those areas can get very crowded. I recommend going earlier in December when there is good selection left. The service and welcome of the staff was really good this year. The value and price point is solid with many different type of high and low end items available. Bryant Park may have a little more space for shopping but Union square sometimes has different vendors. The urban spaces organizers do a good job across the space. Enjoy the holiday shopping. One commentary on 2025 visit because we go every year, I saw fewer people in some stalls. I am not sure if there is an economic impact for some people or that there are less international or domestic tourists but there may be some impacts. I remember that it has been more packed in the past since I was there on Black Friday which is normally the peak shopping time.

Union Square Holiday Market is one of my favorite places to wander through…read more If I had to choose between Bryant Park and Union Square, I'd pick Union Square every time. The Holiday Market here has more booths, a wider variety of small local vendors, and the layout feels more open and spacious not as tight and narrow as Bryant Park. That's not to say Union Square doesn't get crowded (it absolutely does), but the experience still feels more enjoyable and less cramped. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

The barista asked me what my preference was for the matcha latte( more or less matcha in the drink). They made my drink efficiently each time (not a long wait). Also, their costumer service is really great! I had cracked my cup (my fault). They quickly replaced my drink with no extra charge! This will be one of my staple cafes while I'm in NYC.

Once you walk into Pier 57 and head straight into Market 57 on the left-hand side is City Winery NYC after that you will see Bird & Branch. There were tables and chair where you can sit at Market 57 to enjoy your meal. The staff makes pretty design on the foam when you get a cappuccino. Will be back again to try their other products.

Most of the staff was in conversation with each other. I knew what I came there for, so I approached a sales associate for help. The item I wanted was out of stock in store, so I went to the bag bar to place an order for shipment. The store is a huge white space; runway ready, clothes are neatly hung for displays and the dressing room are the size of a small walk-in closet. I tried on a couple items, completed my purchase and left. I would suggest at least greeting customers when they come, instead of customers approaching staff.
