This shop is perfectly located near the hostel I always stay at when visiting and across the street from the L line metro station. I came here twice this trip and will be making Friends a routine stop for trinkets for myself and souvenirs for my loved ones. On my first stop I took it all in and was quickly able to find things for myself and my partner. On my second trip I required some assistance for finding a birthday gift for my nephew whos like my baby brother as he turned 24 while I was in town. I told some staff members that I was looking for something that was a nod to our childhood together, but also acknowledged that he is a young man. I was helped by two staff members the first staff member I didnt catch her name gave me an indepth tour of the store based the information I gave her. She gave me a lot of options to consider so when I was still stumped at finding the "perfect" souvenir I asked another staff member for help. Destiny listened closely to what I said and helped me narrow down the many ideas I had for my nephew. I settled on two gifts the first one was a cook book by snoop dog that the first staff memeber pointed out to me as a good option and a candle with a neutral but cleansing scent that Destiny showed me. All and all the staff at this place are very helpful and I had a wonderful experience. Pictured are some fun things they have in store! Wish I took more pictures of the store lol

I’m obsessed with this store, I dropped a good amount of money just because there were so many cute items that I couldn’t pass on during my NYC trip. It’s very well curated and the staff is super friendly. I’ll definitely be paying a visit on my next trip.
