Always love visiting the Met Opera Shop! As you enter the shop, you'll hear wonderful operatic music. The Met opera shop has numerous autographed photos of leading past and present operatic stars, classical music, jewelry, opera glasses, children's musical learning Items etc... The shop had major sales on my recent visit. I noticed, the shop does not have such a vast inventory as it did in years past. A friend of mine wanted me to pick up Opera magazine. A very nice young lady assisted me with this purchase. As you can see, I purchased the December '19 issue with the great Jessye Norman on the cover. I do remember a past purchase of beautiful opera glasses from the shop. In fact, I did bring them to the performance of the New York Philharmonic that evening. I've always experienced very friendly and helpful customer service while visiting the Met Opera Shop!

This is an alright gift shop, albeit a little expensive. As some one who goes to the opera a lot this is a nice place to walk through to kill time. A lot of things here are expensive and I would imagine there are better places for buying some of the stuff, such as Jewelry, then here. They have a big selection of opera DVDs and music here which is cool. So far the only things I have actually got from this store are magnets and binoculars. The magnets I got for my family members and they are pretty inexpensive and cute. The binoculars here though can be either very gimmicky or very expensive for one exception. The "Nikon Aculon T01" they sell here are 80 bucks and they are clear enough to be worth the money (not as nice as the 250 dollar ones but seriously not hazy.) They also sell some super gimmicky "Victorian-style" ones that you can hold in one hand but they are atrocious and cost 60 dollars. I can not imagine anyone seriously buying these... you could get fake ones for cheaper and they would be equally as useless. The staff here are professional and friendly. They are pretty knowledgeable about the stuff around the shop which is nice to see. If there is a performance going then this store can get crowded during intermission and an hour before/after the show. If you come in when there isn't though it can be quite dead (which is a good thing if you actually do want to buy something.) Overall this is an OK gift shop. As a regular theater goer this is a nice place to browse around even if I don't plan to buy anything.

Can't believe I found a copy during the holidays!

Their store was filled with a lot of New York souvenirs and items. All the items here are…read morerelatively cheap as well such as key chains and drinking glasses. Definitely pick up something from here if you're a tourist !

Was in the city for NYE. Yes, it's as fun as one can imagine. It's also.....well, I was messy…read moreHahahaha! Because I got back to my cousins apartment at 630am! Was quickly reminded that, TIM! YOU. ARE. NOT. 20 yrs old NO. MO!!! So that being said, I hope it's awhile before my old ass acts like that again hahah! Actually, nah! Being a dumb kid is fun! Hahahaha! So being in the city, CLEARLY I had to get my friends souvenirs! Souvenirs for my friends who arrrrre....21 and 22 years old Hahahaha! So what's the most popular souvenir no matter what (usually)? .... SHOT GLASSES! But of course-hahaha!! So I stopped in here. Word to the wise....get your shit glasses, tshirts, etc somewhere NOT located in Times Square! Why? Because you will save a ton! Did I do that tho? Nah! Why? Well because of NYE....My old ass took like 2 days to recover. So while recovering...I went absolutely nowhere lol. So the day I'm leaving, I'm running all over Times Square looking for bagels for my mom and stores to get shit glasses and keychains, magnets, and some other things. Went here and paid 2x what I would elsewhere...outside TS. Growing up in NYS and spending tons of time down in the city as a kid and as an adult... I have ALWAYS known better than to buy in TS or around there, but I was in a rush....like so many in NY lol. I legit was tho. I was more worried to find bagels than anything else. Did I get bagels? Nope. Turns out my mom would have rather had NYC crumb cake (because I told her I bought a piece every day I was there and went to bed a happy fat pig lol) and she's like "forget the bagels! There's nothing like NY crumb cake! She's absolutely right. Mental note for next time hahaha! I got my crumb cake at a deli in Queens. Not important to this review, but yeah lol This place I got the shot glasses and other things at...super cool inside. CLASSIC Times Square store. Big, flashy, busy as hell! Great store! Minus the prices you'll pay and OH! And there's an old man who works there, I'm assuming the owner....NOT a very nice man. He deals with tourists all day long..Americans and everyone else from all over the world. I get he may be burned out. That's the case tho....step aside and let a happy person run registers and the floor. Other than that, it's a great place. You definitely feel the crazy NYC vibes in there and right outside is mayhem! Step outs and look to the left and there's the TS NYE Ball, the 2020 sign. Very cool! Thanks, yelperetties! Cheers!

The Rockefeller Center is such a hub and landmark in Manhattan. It is a 22‑acre Art Deco complex…read morewith a rich history, over 100 works of art, and traditions like the annual Christmas tree lighting and ice skating. The land was originally the Elgin Botanical Garden, created in the early 1800s by physician David Hosack. In 1928, John D. Rockefeller Jr. leased it from Columbia University for $100million, transforming it into a commercial and cultural hub. The first plan was to build a Metropolitan Opera House on the site, but the 1929 stock market crash made it impossible. The project shifted to a media and entertainment complex. It was built during the Great Depression. Construction began in 1930 and provided jobs for thousands, making it one of the largest building projects of that era. The complex features more than 100 sculptures, murals, and mosaics by 39 artists, including Lee Lawrie's Atlas and Paul Manship's Prometheus. The famous Christmas Tree Lighting - Started in 1933, is one of the most famous holiday events in NYC. The Ice Skating Rink - Opened on Christmas Day 1936 and has been a seasonal tradition ever since The RCA Building (now Comcast Building) is 850feet tall, and the complex includes rooftop gardens, a sunken plaza, and the iconic Rainbow Room. Rockefeller Center was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1987.

In celebration of FIFA World Cup 26, The FIFA World Cup 26 NYNJ Host Committee, Telemundo and Rockefeller Center are hosting the official NYNJ World Cup 26 & Telemundo Fan Village at Rockefeller Center from July 6-July 19 daily from 10:00am to 8:00pm. At the heart of the Fan Village, The Rink at Rockefeller Center transforms into a dynamic soccer pitch where fans can gather for live match broadcasts on large screens. The Channel Gardens celebrates the eight nations that have lifted the FIFA World Cup trophy (the champions, legendary players, and unforgettable moments that have shaped the history of the world's game.) Across the Plaza, sport, culture, and community come together through interactive experiences, family-friendly programming, and brand activations that bring the global energy of the tournament to Rockefeller Center. The NYNJ World Cup 26 & Telemundo Fan Village at Rockefeller Center is free and open to the public. All visitors must enter through designated checkpoints at 49th Street & 5th Avenue or 50th Street & 6th Avenue. All the interactive experiences were a lot of fun. There were virtual queues so we were able to walk around and do other things instead of just waiting in line. The staff were very friendly and helpful as well.
