    Wow what a great shop for dollhouses and accessories. I shop here frequently, the staff is knowledgeable as well as creative and super helpful with tips and tricks. When I bought my daughters dollhouse I was clueless as to what I was getting myself into but they help guide me and in spite of any desire they may have had to make a big sale, they advised me to take my time, it's not a race, it's a project you should enjoy and build upon over time with my daughter and that's exactly what I've done. It's now just over two years later and the dollhouse is complete with every imaginable detail and I could've never accomplished it without the help of this shop and it's staff. I would highly recommend this store to both novice and  experienced hobbyists.

    This is a stellar, stellar dollhouse store -- one of the few lasting! The selection is great, and the set up is very conducive to finding lots of treasures. The store includes the smallest little items to many options for dollhouses and room boxes. The woman who was working here on this past Friday was also really sweet and nice to speak with. Definitely worth checking out!

    This store will take any woman back to childhood, and fulfill  the dreams of little girls everywhere. You can spend hours in here just looking at the dollhouses, the models, the miniature furniture, and even dollhouse-sized bags of M&Ms (which, oddly, cost more than the real thing). These are the dollhouses you always wanted, not Barbie's Dream Home. Prepared to be amazed.

    These are the store hours for Tiny Dollhouse as of July 2011

    Mon-Thurs: 11:00 to 4:30
                  Fri: 11:00 to 3:00
        Sat-Sun: closed

    I'm posting them here because there aren't any store hours on the website and the ones  listed on Google are flat out wrong. I made a special trip to come last Saturday, thinking they closed at 5:00 pm, when really they were closed all weekend.

    this place is really a trip.  you walk in and find yourself in a smaller world, full of miniature versions of everything from potato chips to pay phones to baroque settees.  i have a job that involves miniatures, so i am lucky enough to be able to shop here pretty often and expense my purchases of little tiny mr. peanut swizzle sticks (only half an inch long, and about $5) and moody boudoir lighting (black leather lamp- really works- 35$).  the people who own this place say that their selection varies from week to week.  so the only thing that's sort of frustrating about it is that say one week you see a great set of liquor bottles and you remember it for future reference- and then a project comes up where you need a set of miniature liquor bottles.  well, you might go back to get it only to find that they aren't carrying it that week.  but here is one thing that's for sure.  if you go in here, you WILL find something you didn't know you needed- even if you don't find what you came there for.  what is it about miniatures that is so seductive to us?  it is a fascinating phenomenon.  and this is the only place in manhattan to explore it.  (fao schwartz has a crappy selection, but re-ment at toy tokyo will also fill the void that exists in our normal-scale world)
