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!

We went to many souvenir shops but this place was a clear stand out. Greeted warmly upon entering,…read morelots of items (there are a lot of things in a close space, so you to have to navigate a bit). Prices were comparable to other shops but had a good variety of items (shirts, magnets, pins,etc.). The man working also gave us two stickers with our purchase and was kind. Definitely would recommend!

This souvenir shop was highly rated so I came here based on Yelp and Google reviews and honestly, I…read morewas kinda disappointed in the selection of clothing. It was the same stuff everyone else was selling, but like less variety. However, I can say their prices were a lot lower than other shops. For example, I bought a pair of pink I Love NY pajama pants for $19.99 in size small. It was the last one. I needed a medium but they didn't have one. I ended up getting it for myself and figured I'd find a size medium in another souvenir shop. Well, I did but the same pair of PJ pants was $29.99! So I can confirm the prices at this store is cheaper (at least for PJ pants). I also ended up getting a lighter for my brother in law last minute and all the lighters by the register were just meh. I bought a lame one anyways. And then just as we left the store, they had all these other cooler lighters in the window on display. Too bad none of those were actually out on the shelves.

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!

Good selection with some inexpensive stuff. Just didnt like the minute I walked through the door…read moreIm asked if I need help and I say Im just looking, but one person there continued to follow me and everytime I just looked at something asked if I wanted it or try to take it from me to take to the register. I had to repeat 4 times, Im just looking and had to hold on to my tshirt when he tried to take it away. I really didn't need a personal shopper to help me, I just wanted to browse. I really wanted to get a second shirt, but couldnt shop in peace.
