Hey, remember that TV show Friends? Wow, it was great! Sure, it ended 9 years ago, but don't you want a t-shirt? For $25+? If you said yes, then by all means, go to the store. If you've done the tour and want to complete your interactive experience, go through the store. But don't come here for the shopping experience... More

Yes, it is just a gift shop, but it’s full of great merchandise from all your favourite NBC shows – Friends, Seinfeld, House, The Office, Parks and Recreation, Community.

Very much as gift shop for NBC and a very overpriced one. Good to wander and have a browse but there was nothing memorable. Nothing really grabbed us and at those prices we were not going to spend a lot.

Just a very average souvenir shop. I was hoping to find unique items, but nothing caught my eye. We were supposed to see our photos from the NBC tour, but they lost our group's pictures and the video of my daughter reading the news. The staff was very nice though. The best thing there was the chair from The Voice!

If you are after that special trinket from a favourite NBC production, you can find it here. While prices are a little over the top in some areas, you can pick up some good bargains if you have a keen eye. Staff are very friendly, polite and courteous. It's worth a visit if you are into that sort of thing.... More

Very bland merchandise, much of which celebrated shows I'd never heard of. Even for the shows that were familiar, the prices were high and the souvenirs didn't seem like anything special. At least the staff was friendly.

Being an NBC fan, I was all excited to go to the NBC store...what a joke! They have mugs, shirts and little items for sale, but it is nothing like what I expected. I think they need a better designer or something. There isn't one thing that I would buy in there. That feeling was echoed by the other person... More

After reading a few reviews on tripadvisor of NBC store, I was excited to check it out with my boyfriend for the first time. So excited, I piled a few tees in my arms and paid for my things but came across a really rude sales clerk/cashier named Eric who yelled at me only because I POLITELY asked for my... More

They have alot of different shows to choose merchandise from. I was looking for a long sleeve SNL tshirt, they had none so I purchased a very generic SNL tshirt for $25.00. I was expecting to see more??
