I had family there, I have run 3 NYC marathons in the 1990s and loved the city. While I ran ran the Marathons my wife was able to walk the streets around Central Park until it was time to meet me at the family reunion area. I won't step foot into the city now. That's a shame because I never did get to B&H.

šŸ˜€šŸ‘I fully agree. It's the ultimate Adult toy/candy store šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£
I visited there 3 times. You can spend hours there.

Thanks.


When you visit, as you face the store, look across the street to the left. There is a deli that makes great sandwiches. I usually get pastrami and swiss on rye with spicy mustard, a bag of chips, and a soda. People will make you think any meal in downtown Manhattan will cost you $50 but that just isn't so. There are plenty of places to eat where you will not pay any more than you do back home.

I walked into the store when it opened, just like any other store.

I would never buy from B&H, very expensive for me anyway, buy on e bay or the Hog. Used.

Try walking into their store with a smile on your face and a big wad of cash.

I can see buying used but am skeptical about ebay and possible problems. I would trust some used camera dealers who are mentioned here

They close at 1 this Friday. Always check the times because they change through the year. I have spent a lot of time and money in Manhattan so I know the place. Just never got to B&H but spent a lot with them online.

A year or two ago I saw a video either from their website or something else but it was a detailed tour of the store and it is amazing. It gives you a real good idea what to expect when you go there, but others have already answered the question itā€™s a storefront you just walk in and Well, all I can say is good luck enjoy it and let us know what you found.

Waitā€¦. I go there at least once or twice a month.

When I retire, I plan to work there part-time. Maybe Iā€™ll just volunteer.
