Inside the app:
* Discover NYC stores and guest-curated collections
* Find in-store events by neighborhood, date and type
* Save and share favorite stores, events and collections
* Explore curated Store Strolls – walkable neighborhood experiences

* Create and share your own NYC store collections
Whether you’re looking to go shopping in the West Village, join a book talk in Brooklyn or explore a new neighborhood, we bring stores and what’s happening inside them together in one place.
My friends and I feel so seen - we’re always scouring insta or tiktok for unique experiences and it’s so nice to FINALLY have ONE place to find all of the things we can do all over the city! The curation is amazing - bookstores, recordshops, plants, clothes, anything and everything between - there’s always so many things fun going on. It’s also so great to be ableto filter by neighborhood. I can save places I love or want to go to and share with my friends! Download and never be bored again.

been loving using Friend in Store to find events happening all around the city that I would have no clue about. one of my favorite features is creating collections for an easy way to save stores that i want to visit. plus, the little “name card” on my profile is the perfect touch and brought the biggest smile to my face!
Who knew that stores had events?!?

How did I not know that so many stores in my neighborhood had so much going on every week?!? I love that they’re all small businesses too! Excited to see what’s going on for the holidays - could be game changing. Excited for more stores to be added which looks like is happening all the time :)
Beautiful curation of small businesses

Such a beautiful app highlighting fantastic small businesses in NYC. Love learning about new stores and knowing when events are happening - both at my favorite stores and at new ones! The events are so fun and I’m loving getting to see the gems of NYC.
