I picked something up to look at it closer by the cash register and immediately got yelled at by a cashier, one with glasses. As she was saying rude things about the children in the store, she began telling me to put items back. There is no sign saying don't touch the items. Will not be coming back here.

When planning our return trip to Ithaca, my mate found it a bit bizarre how bent I was on visiting…read morethis one particular store, but as soon as he entered, his heart fell in sync with mine. We had been playing the spy game that the local shops had rallied together for, and not only did she make sure we got our letter, but she tipped us off to make sure we could fully enjoy our game. Like the shop, she was an absolute delight. (My mate said that she seems like an older version of me, so excuse my bias. If I'm as friendly and personable as her, heck if I work in a toy store like her, when I get older, I'll be ecstatic.) If you're just looking for me to talk toys and not associates, trust me, that's golden too. We're both in the latter half of our twenties, but I think I lost two decades of stress in that place. There are puppets and trinkets and so many affordable toys that I left behind, opting for two rubber duckies to add to my collection. Reverse time and drop by to get yourself an ooze dribbler. It's hypnotic, like this place, and you'll be glad you did.

dear Jillian & your Drawers, THANK YOU!!!!…read moreif i lived anywhere near Ithaca, i would so be at your store all the time, going to your seminars and events and buying all your good stuff. luckily, being that this is the digital age, i am able to at least enjoy your AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE and great guarantees from across the nation, thanks to your well-designed website. my baby's cute, healthy butt & his parents are grateful. love, Erika p.s. i don't know who S.J. is but i think he/she has the wrong business. okay, here's my experience: i did the Try Cloth Diapers For $10 and it was fantastic. i would have honestly started cloth diapering my baby earlier but the amount of information on cloth diapering was so overwhelming i thought my brain would melt (even more than it already has from infant-related sleep deprivation). this program really takes the guesswork out, and it was so easy and so good, i have now recommended it several times to other curious mommies. at every turn, from questions to speed of delivery to detailed instructions, Jillian and her staff are super helpful and courteous, both on the phone and via email. their used diaper deals are fantastic, and the guarantees of try-before-you-commit for ANY diaper are generous indeed. so. mommies anywhere in America thinking about or doing cloth diapering -- Jillian's is the place to go. yes, you will want to try all types of diapers to see what works best for you/your partner/your baby, and this is the most efficient, smart, and no-risk way to do it.

Showed the employee working a picture of the item and he went out of his way to get this for us. He explained some of inventory was in boxes due to returning from a convention, but he would look into it. He sent a picture to the manager who confirmed they had the item and he went into the boxes to grab it for us. He really made a huge difference for us, as this was the only thing our 7 year old wanted for their birthday. The employee was so helpful in answering any questions we had and made our experience pleasant. The selection at the store is great and we enjoyed browsing the variety of products. Will be shopping here again!

I have been frequenting Hammergirl Anime for close to 15+ years. The short and sweet of it is this,…read moreyou won't find more variety, a more knowledgeable staff, and a more comfortable atmosphere than you will here. If we start with merchandise, you can find almost anything you could be looking for. Figures, trading cards, pins, international snacks, stationary, drink water, clothing, plushes, mangas, movies... should I keep going, because I absolutely can! The selection is huge and regularly changing. It can be a bit hard to find older anime/manga merch but as of yesterday I was able to find some Trigun(1997) items which I thought was fun! If you or your children like Pokémon, you're in for a treat!! The staff knows so much about everything!! Each of them are the human Wikipedia of their favorite genres. It's so refreshing to be able to ask if they know something like --- and be directed to something you will love! They are welcoming and warm, if you have questions don't hesitate to ask. You will be helped and educated! The atmosphere is comfortable! You don't have to worry about feeling out of place, this place is welcoming to all. The TV in the front is always playing a different anime which is a cool way to find new anime's to watch! My husband and I started playing in the Pokémon and Final Fantasy card tournaments just recently and everyone is so warm it's wonderful. We instantly felt welcomed. If you like Anime, Manga, international TV/Movies I'd highly suggest going!

When you walk in, the shop takes you back to a fantasy store I wish I had as a kid. They have so many of the shirts from the 90's, toys, excellent quality jackets and other vintage stuff. They even have a working floor piano! If vintage swag or old school street wear is your thing, I think this store will have something you'd like. The service was excellent and the owner was excited about his goods and that made the experience even better. I'm always a fan of clothing stores that have a passion for fashion and by the owners style, I'm sure he'll get you right.

Walt's is a pretty big hobby shop, with a wide variety of stuff, including RC cars and planes,…read moreplastic models, model rockets, and lots of random supplies for making cool stuff, including paints, balsa, dowels, glues, etc. And as big as it is, there's an even bigger space out back with an RC car track, a crawler track, and even an extra meeting room. That's where Walt's really shines -- long after the posted hours, they open the space to all sorts of local hobby groups. I've been there with a rocket club in the back room, RC cars going on the track, and yet another group up front, meeting in the actual hobby shop part. The staff is super-friendly, and willing to help out and offer suggestions for whatever kind of project you want to take on. If you need hobby stuff, this is a great place to go in the Syracuse area.

It's jam packed with all sorts of neat, unique items that you don't find at the other big box stores. Nearly all of the inventory has educational value with a heavy concentration on free form play. My niece is exceptionally gifted and we struggle to find gifts for her that actually stimulate her. She's blessed with a mind that visualizes solutions quickly. I picked up several brain teasers I've never seen elsewhere, some card games that seemed as if they may challenge her and a hanging seat for my son that I've looked for elsewhere without success. The woman at the counter was incredibly knowledgeable about her products and took the time to go get a former demo item so I could be certain I was purchasing something I'd enjoy. I live several hours away from this store, but plan to make another trip down soon for birthday and holiday gifts. I wish she was closer to my house, but then again I'd spend a fortune at her store. This little trip cost me $250, but I have no guilt because they seem to be unique, well made toys with a heavy emphasis on educational components! I'll be back... With more money and men to carry out my bags!
