Paw Patrol pre-school bribery in NYC
June 25, 2016 9:45 AM Subscribe
I bribed my two three and a half year old girls (identical twins - super cute) who are obsessed with Paw Patrol in the way that is hard to explain, that I was going to a country where they sold Paw Patrol everything - but now I can't find anything, help.
I'm in the US and specifically NYC for a week, leaving my twin girls for the first time eek. I've not been over since BT (before twins) and so I didn't realise Toys R Us has closed. Does anyone have any idea where I could go on Manhattan to locate any kind of Paw Patrol paraphernalia?
What do those dogs have over our children?
Metafilter: no job too big, no pup too small.

You can also try calling West Side Kids at 212-496-7282 and seeing if they carry PP stuff. If not, they can probably direct you elsewhere.

I don't know if you are near/can get to a Target or Walmart, but they should both have Paw Patrol toys, as well as assorted other things (lunchboxes, possibly pajamas/shirts/underwear, backpacks, etc.) If you search the websites, you can filter by what is available in-store for specific locations.

Response by poster: Thanks so much for this! you are amazing, and I will trek out to these places so I can hand over my worthless pounds - dollars for over priced dog merchandise, and have the happiest children in the world...

It also might be worth checking in at a Barnes and Noble bookstore if you pass one. They have a ton of Paw Patrol books/activity sets and might even have some of the actual toys in their kids section.

I agree to check smaller toy stores and Kmart type places. If you really want to blow their minds, Party City (on 14th St between 5th and 6th aves) carries a whole line of PP-themed birthday party supplies. Paper plates, cups, and napkins, banners and trinkets galore.

Yes, last time I was in the Barnes and Noble in Lincoln Square, the kids' section was as much actual toys as it was books. So I don't know anything about Paw Patrol but you might try there.

Yes, Barnes & Noble locations all have different stuff, but most have Paw Patrol figures. They also have a rotating selection of My Busy Books which kids adore. They have a bunch of little figures included. There's a Paw Patrol one, and they are under $10.

Sadly, there's no more Barnes & Noble at Lincoln Square.

Your easiest bet I'm sure is to buy on Amazon and have it shipped to your hotel.
