Tiny Doll House

Top choice in Upper East Side


If the Carrie Stettheimer dollhouse at the Museum of the City of New York turned you on or you're otherwise in the market for a dream dollhouse, this fascinating shop is NYC's only store dedicated to dollhouses and miniature accessories. The tiny worlds offered here come in a variety of styles (Victorian, Chippendale, contemporary) and are rendered in stunning detail.

The shop, started by owner Leslie Edelman over 25 years ago, is worth a look-see even if it's not exactly the sort of souvenir you can lug home.
