Expensive and one employee was super rude, however the other one was super respectful and nice. I understand being overwhelmed by the amount of customers coming in and out due to Halloween being the next day but it shouldn’t be taken out on the client’s. Learn not to bark at people for no reason. However one of the other employees were really nice.

Sold me a cracked mask a night before the Halloween for $85 + tax!!! Won’t come here anymore. They have no return policy and don’t even bother to print the receipt out!

Costumes are ok but extremely overpriced even for Manhattan. They were charging $600 for a top hat somehow. Most stuff was somewhat a normal price but that specific item was ridiculous. Order from Amazon or basically anywhere if youre not desperate.

Its reopening! Hope the boots and daily goth clothing can be restocked soon. (cuz now there r mostly holloween costume). The stuffs will help u measure ur size n guide u to try on the corset, which is incredible.

It was once the greatest store in NYC.It had fabulous clothes & awesome shoes.The workers were really nice.So sad to see it go though😔

They have everything you could ever want---but pricey! They dont play around. I primarily came for the corsets and they were all approximately between $75 - $200, $150 was the most common. I also looked through the petticoats which were fantastic quality but also around $150. I wound up buying a corset and decided since my petticoat will go under my dress for my costume, I dont need the best of the best. If you want quality though, go here! Just make sure youre willing to spend a pretty penny.

This place is absolutely beautiful! I love this place so much!

Love this store. My bestie and I would go all the time. It’s seem like you can only find a store this authentic here in the city. They have a great selection of gothic attire. When ever they have a sale I just can’t help myself. I’ve bought so many great unique items for Halloween there. If you need that one special thing for your horror film, I have a feeling they would have it.

Amazing clothing such goth, steam punk, fetish, ren faire, and so many unique accessories. Two full walls of corsets & waist cinchers. Petticoats, bustle skirts, poet style shorts, top hats, Victorian style dresses, goggles, masks, crowns, shoestring & boots, rings, necklaces, leather, vinyl, chainmail and so much more. I had a lot of fun here.

Dopest place Ive ever seen. Huge, has everything you can think of, but expensive af (or it could be all the cool/goth stuff are expensive) Its quite an experience itself to just go inside and look around.

Very cool things for people who like well made items! Tried on a corset and was actually fitted properly and treated very well! Learned the proper size for me to wear, over all extremely helpful and wonderful staff. Will be returning soon.Bring a good card or cash, prices are moderate to moderately high but reasonable. You are getting very good quality corsets, costumes, shoes, dresses, bdsm outfits, jewelry and accessories. The steampunk goggles I posted are 120$ four reference

What an amazing store! I bought a beautiful corset there for 50% off. Sadly, I was told the store is closing 5ever in February. Which is very sad indeed.

Too much costume and little true goth

They have great stuff, everything is 50% off, they are closing next month. Hurry over before all the goodies are gone

I always loved going to this store. Sucks its closing.

Wicked cool place, best employee is Stan, go here for literally anything you can think of in the costume world.

The people are always a great help. Always finding what I am looking for and if they dont have it they can find it.

Passed this place too many times without going in. Instantly regretted that once I did. Its everything I wish I could find elsewhere. Staff are all super helpful, it is a tad busy during Halloween season, but still worth the visit. Definitely need to come back more often.

Cool stuff and nice staff, but Im a bit disappointed with what I got and especially with what my friend got. He spent 20 bucks on a choker that had its chain break before we even left the store, they were kind and fixed it for us, but then 10 minutes after wed left the pentagram on it fell off making it just a velvet ribbon with a chain connection in the back. Its also really expensive, do some research before you buy, a lot can be bought cheaper elsewhere.

The best store in Manhattan, not only is the staff dedicated to your time and style they make you feel welcomed. Shopping here feels like its your closet and they guide you on what to wear to execute your final form. Bless this store ♥ ps if you have any brand suggestions tell them, they take there clients very seriously and will do research on the brand. Stitch is the man!!!! ♥

Been to the store so many times and I love every visit I will continue shopping hereThe customer service I received is fantastic Very friendly

Hands down the most honest, friendly, easy to talk to and overall best store owner/manager(maybe manager too?) that I have met! PLUS they have the greatest selection of Gothic, club, lingerie, fetish clothing, dub dress up clothing, as well as accessories, bras, underwear.. And SHOES. oh my. I left with 3 pairs! Thats a very heavy load there if you know the shoes they sell. The store is also large with a Great variety of styles, price range, unique prices and even some. Local designer clothing and accessories. Just be careful.. One could totally empty their bank account there due to how amazing everything is!

Excellent staff. Tremendous inventory of incredibly hot club clothing. Whether youre looking to do goth darkwave cyberpunk sexy or scary they can outfit you.

I had a great experience, the cashier (who I’m pretty sure is the owner) was super nice! Would love to go back.

Great shop for the goth and the extravaganza people at medium level: too much for beginners and too common for experienced ones.Little bit overwhelmed by all the things hanging around.Unfortunately they dont have much selection for bigger sizes.Stuff is very friendly and helpful. Let you try out what you want (of course you have to be friendly as well).Specially appriciate the extra person at the fitting rooms: comes very handy if you try corsets. ;-)

Overpriced but really great stuff inside. Staff were nice. Dont recommend going near Halloween. So many people in there you cant turn around.

Fantastic store for my fellow darklings. They stock many brands. They feature all Gothic styles from Victorian to raver to punk. The staff are great and very sweet. I definitely recommend getting fitted for a corset while youre there, its something everyone should experience at some point. Everyone is welcome and no one is judged.

I love this place so much, it speaks to my soul. Ive been in here so many times and havent bought anything yet (it is a bit pricey but I expected no less) but the staff are friendly and happy to help in any way! If I were rich Id only buy clothing from here and no where else

Sexy store with sexy clothes and sexy accessories for sexy people!

This is by far a must see place!! Especially for the gothic community. I loved it.

I bought a dope masquerade mask from here. They have really cool pieces from corsets, to masks, to jewelry, to headdresses... whatever, you name it. Service was friendly and very helpful also.

ALL 5 STARS EARNED.GREAT STAFF WITH WONDERFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE.WELL ORGANIZED AND EVEN A $5 BARGAIN CAULDRON;THAT I CAN AFFORD!!!

Beautiful assortment of stuff!! It actually has battle equipment including a monster hunting gauntlet that comes with a real silver bullet!!! And for those on a budget without the need for authenticity theres great steampunk+ accessories and outfits eventually leaning into more adult paraphanalia

You dont know it yet but you need something in this store. This cave of wonders has everything from super elegant little period dresses to thoroughly kinky leather items of every variety. The sales people are all really into the lifestyle/mood of the store and they make it really easy to navigate. ZERO judgment in here and only positive things to say!

A medium sized place but well packed with various things to wear or display. It is located next to the Halloween store, so youre going to have fun looking and/or buying stuff.

What a great store this is..Manager Stitch and Julia top it off being so customer friendly especially when helping pic out items for your girlfriends.This store has amazing items too...In usually spend lots of time here deciding what to buy....and just end up buying many items...The sales staff all have a very cool look and dress so perfectly for this store...Kudos!!

This is where I do most of my shopping if you love gothic culture

Very big selection. Childres costumes abd toys also. Magic section downstairs.

Great store, if you like shopping here just avoid Halloween season.

The store is best thought of as an extension of the (fabulous) costume store next door; while the atmosphere is great and theres a lot of stuff, much of it is expensive and/or cheaply made and straight from taobao; Ive heard people apply the pejorative mall goth to the place. But still, theres a good selection, the clerks are helpful, and if you really need attire for the peanut butter dance and dont want to go searching it out online, its a fine place to go. Good makeup collection, too.

I love this store and also the people working there! There so fun to be around n everything is very good quality n well made. Just wish it wasnt so pricey but idc.

Beautiful gothic apparel

A Good store. But. Compared to others, Missing alot of things

My daughter liked it

Gothic renaissance is 😎

This place has a variety of wonderful outfits from goth, steampunk to all kinds of burning man and intimate gear. The staff is generally helpful, although it can get quite busy around Halloween. The one note I would say is that it is quite pricey. If you want cheaper costumes, its easy enough to go next door. The quality of Gotham Renaissance products is quite high.

Incredible clothing and accessories choices, you can find one of a kind pieces for a full range of prices. Both gothic and renaissance, with helpful employees.

The clothes are effing cool. Great place to get things for a dark renaissance festival or a steampunk convention. Also plenty of platform footwear.

Who says dressing dark is an affair reserved for funerals and once-yearly theme parties? Gothic Renaissance provides all your dark & beautiful needs. Its an incredible selection and a worthwhile visit for your inner or outer Victorian lady.And dont forget the incredible basement treasure trove. #spookyspot

I love this place great selection good prices friendly help

They will bend over backwards to get you in a corset and (despite inital appearances) are VERY plus size friendly.

Staff was super friendly, and helped me get my very first corset! Thank you so much!

I dont know if Halloween adventure and Gothic renaissance are owned by the same company but they had no problem ringing me up for an item from Halloween adventure since the store was closed for a video shoot. Either way, very satisfied with the customer service.

This place is a thieves den. People only come here to steal. Tried something on the other week and someone snuck into my bag and stole $200 cash out of my wallet. I took my eyes off my bag for 2 minutes and my money was gone. I will never be coming back here. I called when I found out my money was missing and asked if they could check the surveillance cameras, they said they would, but I never heard a word back from them. They dont care about their customers.And some of the things they sell are loose pieces from other costumes from the Halloween store next door. I saw a piece that was on sale for $30 and went next door and found the full costume for the same price.Either you get robbed by the store or you get robbed by one of the regular thieves. Dont go here Amazon is way better.

Always a great place to shop and the staff are fantastic.

I got a really nice gothy dress here. Lots of expensive stuff and everything youd ever want.

The custom leather, boots, and chainmail are great, bought plenty of lovely gear there over the years

Awesome store with very cool stuff. I really liked the black light section

Ok selection of stuff, unique. Staff was ok. Prices are quite high, even for Manhattan. Check it out if youre in the area, but you may be better off ordering stuff online.

Best sexy Halloween customs hands down !

I love their selection of corsets and shoes

Unique, edgy clothing and accessories you cant find anywhere else.

Interesting selection. Fun just to walk around and look. Huge store for nyc. Nothing like it any where else in town.

A nice cosplay store. Take a bit note - most items are sized in Asia(L size = S). Do not buy anything without trying it on.

Ill be back to this place. Great collection of gothic and steampunk wears.

The stuff here is sort of pricey (as is the way with this style), but there is a lot of it, and its all so gorgeous to look at. They even have some killer boots to go with your goth chic.

Amazing place very helpful staff great quirky selection

A place to adventure your creativity of ideas to purchase upcoming costume theme all year long with no regrets at all.

Love this store so much just a tad over priced but thats ok cause everything is awesome..

Superb variety, real gothic stuff, prices are good, very accommodative staff, didnt have what I wanted but did advise where to go. Huge variety of gothic clothing.

One of my favorite goth shops in the country.

Great place to find oddities

Do they have colored contacts? More of a question than a review.

Great selection of unique Goth costumes. Nice selection of glow in the dark costumes and accessories.

This place is absolutely amazing for anyone who loves gothic style.

Best place. Biggest.supper nice people. Very nice attention.

Overpriced, I know places which sell their same products for more resonable prices. But then of course it is located in Manhattan, I have no care for that though. I will say they have a nice array of costumes. Too pricey though.

Cool store. A bit overpriced, but this is NYC after all

Amazing finds and oddities!! Shopping is execatly what the name says

Fun vibe, with a variety of gothic costumes and accoutrements

Really Kool store, really liked the hats here !

Great specialty store. A must to visit every time in NYC!

Amazingly cool. Excellent staff.

Best in all of nyc

Amazing selection of gothic and Renaissance related clothes, shoes, and decor items.

Totally awesome store, prices arent cheap but the stuff here is epic, if you like dressing up in interesting ways.

This store is dope and has an awesome selection of stuff... Stuff is quite expensive...but should be expected as its more of an eclectic boutique rather than a regular store...

They have a vast selection of quality clothing, costumes, and shoes

High quality stock, great atmosphere. Youre going to feel overwhelmed if this isnt your scene.

Great store, but the only reason I gave 4 starts is because of the behavior of one of the venders ( a sloppy, rude, chubby, long green hair lazy bum, sitting at the front countertop who was offending every customer).

Fun place

The content is filled with Goth and Halloween clothing, etc. Unfortunately, I ran into a very lazy and disrespectful sales clerk. Hope shes not there any more. The management needs to pay more attention to who they hire. The other staff was ok, but this last experience left a very bad taste in my mouth.

Great place for Halloween Costumes or everyday stuff....

Great place for some school shooter attire.

Great items if this is your style

For the median price of one of their corsets you could buy the entire discography of The Sisters of Mercy in the deluxe vinyl reissue. Get your goth priorities in order.

Cool place, large and varied inventory.

Liked it, great assistance and Service! Way to go!

Loved it very helpful customer service

The ultimate in specialized attire for the Gothic, punk and industrial as well as Steampunk
