Apparently this store wraps around into Astor Place...this is the Men's side..
Basically reviewers say this Gap outlet is better than most and Men's store is the best part of it==and again, more reviews than I would ordinarily include, because some are from a couple of years back

Review from Irene H.
This is an ok location. They usually have a ton of sales merchandise downstairs and there's actually a Gap body department. There are also multiple dressing rooms.
+ Friendly staff... usually.
+ Nice selection of sale merchandise.
- Lots of stairs / up and down layout. Also, the men's store is not attached to the body/Women's.
- Not a ton of merchandise but that goes for any retail store vs their online warehouse.
- Body/women's lock their doors minutes before their official close time. They were rude about it. Thankfully, men's was still open and friendly - apparently the women's cash register clocks run 7 minutes fast.
Tip: If you're ever making a large return from an online purchase, they won't mind it nearly as much since it doesn't affect their daily in-store sales. -
Review from Alyssa P.
+ Friendly staff.
+ Sale items clearly marked.
- Soooo small.
- Cramped space, yet they have 2 floors.
- Lacking in merchandise, which is strange b/c the store is so cramped. -
Review from Joyce C.
This is review is based on an shopping experience I had there around 2002/3, almost TEN years ago, new to the city. I went in the mid-afternoon after a conference held at NYU. I realize that I look young (even younger back then), but wearing business casual, with folders in my arm, and carrying a jacket.
Back then the store was a little cramped and small, all of their sale section was downstairs. I said hi to one of the employees down there, there wasn't anyone else down there. He proceeded to watch me like I was ready to shoplift everything in sight. I got a little uncomfortable and tried to walk around out of his eyesight and continue shopping. Having worked in retail, I understand the issues with theft, but there's smarter ways to prevent theft. I went back upstairs to look around. The employee was talking to a co-worker and I said bye and thank you to them. As I'm about to head out the door, he runs up to the guard at the door. The guard follows me out of the store, runs ahead of me, and turns around and walks back looking at me.
I have no idea if they are on some search for some big Gap thief. I have a feeling carrying my jacket over my arm was an issue for them also. I should have walked back and complained. -
Review from Matt P.
Williamsburg, NYWent in here looking for a denim jacket i saw online. The store is pretty small and and the merchandise cramped in. I walked around and tried on the jacket i saw and was browsing other items but in the 15 mins i was there i was never greeted or even acknowledged. I saw 3 employees by the register talking but none of them even bothered to approach me so i walked out. -
Review from Daryll H.
New York, NYNot that I'm a big fan of the Gap, but this is definitely their best location. Feels very non-Gap inside, and everything seems to be marked down all the time.
Main downside is that they only have 3 fitting rooms, which are usually filled with very confused touristy looking people. Why would you come to NYC and go to the Gap? Go to your terrible local mall! -
Review from Danny P.
Listen up, Gapsters. You have a coupon on your website for cheap(er) jeans.
You have a customer in your store asking you about this coupon.
The correct answer is not to say "well, you had to print out the coupon so you can't have the discount."
Seriously? You agreed with me that there was a valid coupon, knew about it and because I didn't kill a tree to bring it to you, I don't get the deal? And I could just go home and order them online (sure, extra $5 in shipping, whatever -- I'm still getting a deal).
And what's more, your crazy layout made me feel like a perv* walking through the ladies' section 'cause I couldn't find the door to the men's store and there were no signs. Just sales staff looking at me weird.
* - Could be worse. -
Review from Candy B.
The Gap is the Gap - you know the merch, this review's about the store itself. It's always clean, you don't see any big sloppy piles of clothes. Staff is friendly enough, they don't bombard you with hellos and can I help you with this and that when you're just perusing. All the new stuff's on the top floor so I typically ignore the downstairs unless I'm browsing sale stuff.
I downloaded the iPhone app: SWAGG which gives you a handful of coupons, 1 of them being a 20% off your entire purchase at the Gap. Definitely came in handy - there's always Gap coupons out there, no reason to pay full price. -
Review from Jess L.
I think this Gap is really great for men's styles but not for women's. I think it's just a spacing issue; the women's section is very much one of the smaller ones in the city. I'm never impressed with the sales rack, either.
However, the men's section is large, and the people who work in this part are a bit more available and chipper. -
Review from Lisa Jane C.
Brooklyn, NYOne of the better Gaps. And believe me, I have visited them all.
Usually a decent selection and very good organization. Store is neat and associates are helpful. If I can't find my size, someone will check in the computer and even call a store to put the item on hold.
The store has never been crowded when I've been here - lucky in that respect - although on more than one occasion, I have seen women who appear to be inebriated who should have avoided drunk shopping. One practically fell when trying on shoes, and another decided to try on pants in full view of customers. Well, a lot of the neighborhood bars have happy-hour specials.
Am usually here in the late afternoon or Sunday afternoons and rarely see crowds at that time. Have fun and remember to use a fitting room. -
Review from Kenny L.
New York, NYI am a fan of Gap, especially with the sales & discounts.
This store is neat on the upper level. Sale racks are a mess, but I find it a challenge to find something worth buying.
The staff is very friendly. Quick and to the point of where your wanted merchandise is. The store was closed & I was the last customer, but they didn't rush me. In fact, I requested things from behind the counter and the retrieval was done with a smile from the cashier.
Overall, this is place is great for easily locating items and quick help.
