Super friendly and helpful owners, shops like these are to be cherished especially in today’s digital age. I work at Sephora and needed face gems for a certain look and they had them! Really wasn’t expecting that! First floor is mostly toys, lower deck is mostly stationery and craft making supplies. Literal lifesaver! Prices are great, such a treasure mine of a business.

This store is often a life saver. They are the original Party City in NYC. Shop local!

They used to have an awesome selection of hot wheels but like always one guy brought everything like a scalper that he looked like he was and taking the fun out of car hunting for what we look for,so until then i hope they restock soon🙏🏻💯🇺🇲

As I walked along East 86th Street, I spotted [ MODERN STATE ] through and under claustrophobic scaffolding and down a half-flight of stairs. I'm glad I went through and down because this is a GEM of a store! Mainly a Toy & Party Store, it has extensive areas of Stationery, Art Supplies, and a good selection of Candy. I will return so I can more thoroughly peruse its many offerings.

Great store with wide selection and good folks working there. It is a great place to pick up decorations, costumes, toys for any holiday. They always cycle in inventory for whatever is coming up. They have a really great toy selection. It's probably as wide a selection, if not wider, than the Target that recently opened on 86th. Plus you can't beat the character of a local store.

I come here to shop for children's toys, games and crafts, as well as writing pens. I love the ones (Uni-ball & Papermate) that doesn't smear. For me the prices are high but I can find things with ease. Today I realized for the first time that they even sell Lichen.

One of the few toy stores left in the neighborhood I take my son here all the time. It's a great party store but the toys are a little overpriced but my little guy loves going toy shopping here so it's worth it. I just wish they had a bigger selection.
