Everyone there was great. The gentleman that gave us the tour was phenomenal. Extremely knowledgeable, got the players and parents involved and went above and beyond to make the tour memorable due everyone. One of the parents even said that we should've done the tour before the tournament to get the kids pumped up. After the tour, you can go crazy in there just choosing from hats, shirts, hoodies with great baseball sayings on them. It was buy one get one 50%, so the kid got site shirts and a pair of hats. Don't miss out on this opportunity when here. If you go with your team, they hand out limited editing pins, which we all know the kids go crazy for the pins.

Waited until about 3:10 and went back to the front desk and told them we were ready and they told us to keep waiting. A few minutes later we walked out. A parent from our group went back about 20min later and the manager says, "we told you guys to wait". This was a terrible experience. Do not expect anything out of the tour or the employees.

I just can't get over how adorable the storefront is. Everything is a pale and dark purple and it just goes so well together. Seriously the best looking shop on Main Street.. We are going to add this to our list of stores we hit every visit to Cooperstown.

The selection of clothes are reasonably priced from $20-$100 and there are many selections of gifts if you want a unique present for a friend. I love that many of the clothes can be for work and for play- I ended up getting two blazers and a pair of luscious suede winter pants. They also have a Bare Minerals collection with a beautiful display of skin care and foundations and a display of jewelry which has been curated with high-quality designs. Love this store and Kate is so helpful in finding something for you and your budget. Will be coming back soon!

J Gorman Fine Jewelry was a surprise find for me. I was in a local shop and mentioned that I was…read morelooking for a particular stone. As fate would happen, Jess' mother was whom I was chatting with! She suggested I check with Jess at J Gorman. The owner and gemologist, Jess, has such a wonderful mindset. Her attention is on you, and she gives you the best, honest options. I left her store the first time with a beautiful vintage ring. I returned with an heirloom (my M-I-L's wedding band, which had been cut off her finger in the hospital). I asked Jess for custom solution for the ring that could become an heirloom in our family. Jess was thoughtful and considerate of what this piece would mean to us. She came up with a simple and cost effective solution to make it into a pendant. Upon first seeing the completed the necklace, my heart filled with joy. I'd held onto the platinum ring for years. Jess even made sure the original engraving was kept intact. I've worn it everyday since picking it up. Just as I think my daughter will when she inherits it. Jess is a true GEM, and I'm grateful for the chance meeting with her Mom in that little shop. She's terrific and her and her staff do fabulous work from start to finish.

They had awesome stuff and a wide variety items. The clothing, belts, jewelry, and accessories were all of very high quality and very reasonably priced. I bought an adorable blouse and stylish pair of jeans. The owner was delightful; very friendly yet professional. This is a great place for the wives and daughters to get away from baseball and enjoy cute and stylish apparel! I will definitely be coming back to the Purple Star. I suggest anyone in the mood for shopping stop by when in Cooperstown.

Let's be honest, most of downtown Cooperstown, NY is a gigantic tourist trap. It's very much like…read morethe town of Niagara Falls. They have a captive audience of bus tours and summer tourists that are visiting the Baseball Hall of Fame, and so the streets are lined with baseball-themed cafés, gift shops, and the usual touristy stuff. They do have some cool local farmers' markets on the weekends, but most everything else is focused on the baseball fans. Guilty as charged... my best friend is a huge New York Yankees fan, and he asked me to bring him back "something" from Cooperstown. As my Dad and I were walking back towards our car we spotted the Where It All Began Bat Company along Main Street. I looked through the front windows and saw displays of full-sized and miniature baseball bats that had been painted and personalized for the various Major League Baseball teams. I went into the shop and looked over the full-sized Rawlings and Louisville Slugger souvenir baseball bats all of which can be personalized by their on-site laser engraver with up to three lines of text. They also have miniature bats, whether bearing a MLB logo or a Cooperstown-themed logo, and those can be painted and also personalized. I got my friend an 18" miniature baseball bat, painted Yankees blue, and engraved with his name and the MLB logo. They were able to show me samples of finished bats so that I'd know what to expect. I was able to pay for the bat, the engraving, and the shipping down to South Florida, which meant one less thing to lug around in my luggage! Glen got the bat within a week, and he was thrilled with this unique gift and conversation starter. His wife has informed me that he hung up over his desk at home, and that she occasionally catches him standing in front of a mirror taking practice swings. Classy gift.....SCORE!!!

I walked by the store couple of times and he is still in the same poistion.
