This is the king of 99 cents stores here in Manhattan and offers everything for the household ranging from kitchen to personal products to food to furniture. The main floor has the 99 cents to $1.29 products and the upper floors carry items that cost more (electronics, closeouts, clothing, baby & children items. toys). In the past, these stores were call the 5¢ & 10¢ or "Five and Dime". Woolworth's was one popular discount store that has since closed. There are many of these "Dollar" or discount stores around the country and you can find some great values which is great in this Recession Economy. When it comes to purchasing food items, keep an eye out for expiration dates. I'm a bit wary about the medicines (aspirins and cough syrups) but anything else seems safe. You get what you pay for in most cases but use your common sense when buying. You can save big at 99¢ stores and you can also be surprised at some things you'll find!

This place gets pretty crowded especially after 5 when everyone gets off from work so be prepared to fight over new items and great buys with your fellow bargain seekers.
The 32nd Street location near Penn Station is the largest in the chain.
