Help needed...Hallmark Rainbow Brite in NYC???

[80skatie]

Hi I have been drooling over all the Hallmark Rainbow Brite stuff but I'm from the UK However I'm visiting NYC in early April and was hoping to find a Hallmark store in Manhatten that stocked the range so I can buy all the pretties!!  Can anyone point me in the right direction? Is there a Hallmark store in Manhatten that stocks Rainbow Brite? Thanks so much in advance for your help. Suggestions for pony shopping also much appreciated now TRU has closed

Hello dear!

I'm not a NY local, but I took the liberty of doing some research on your behalf...

I found two Amy's Hallmark (corporate store) in Manhattan located at

7 Hanover Square, New York, NY 10004    (phone number 212-825-1625)
AND
Rockefeller Center, 30 Rockefeller Plaza, New York, NY 10112 (phone number 212-956-9113)

They are open 8am-7pm Monday through Friday, closed Sat and Sun. I called the store and they are carrying Rainbow Brite stuff- they currently have the large RB doll, Twink, "some horses", and lots of itty bitties. I asked if they were to run out if they will be restocking, and she said yes- but more importantly she is willing to put items on hold (though I don't know for how long, perhaps days at least).

Two other franchise owned stores located at:
625 8th Ave #201, New York, NY 10018         (212) 564-6030
820 2nd Ave, New York, NY 10017             (212) 599-7200


Hope this helps! If you know where you're staying in Manhattan, let me know and I can call the nearest store for you to check on their inventory.

Another possibility, if you know the hotel or person you are staying at, is to order from http://www.hallmark.com/

and have the package delivered at the hotel!  I've done that before for someone who was visiting NY (sent a doll to their hotel) it was great as it avoided customs.
