Hanley's Universe 4 West 33rd Street New York, NY 10001 Phone: 212-268-7088 www.jsuniverse.com |
Located beside
the Empire State Building, this is one of the largest comic book stores in
the city. They regularly order the Doctor Who magazine and Doctor
Who novels. In the past they have also sold the ceramic cookie jars
(TARDIS, Dalek and Cyberhead). They have stocked the novellas and
have some Doctor Who related non-fiction books as well.

Planet 840 Broadway New York, NY 10003 (212) 475-6161 www.fpnyc.com (New York site) www.forbiddenplanet.com (international site) |
One block south of Union Square,
around the corner from the Virgin Megastore, and across the street from
the United Artist Theatre is Forbidden Planet. The leading retailer
of Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror, Cult Film & TV Merchandise with a
chain of stores located in every major city in the UK. Here in New
York, we are fortunate as this is the only one located outside the UK.
They have stocked all the Big Finish adventures including the Dalek
Empire, Gallifrey, and UNIT series and regularly stock the Doctor Who
magazine and novels. They have also had the Product Enterprise
radio-controlled Dalek and talking 4th Doctor figure as well as the Gorgi
die cast toys. Occasionally they also have some other surprises
shipped over from their London HQ. I was particularly very surprised
to see they had on sale a few of the Region 2 PAL discs of the new series.

and Sympathy In the West Village at 108 Greenwich Avenue (between 12th & 13th Street) New York, NY 10011 212-989-9735 www.teaandsympathynewyork.com |
If you're
looking for any good British souvenirs without actually heading across the
pond, then you have to check this place out. From post cards to tea
cozies, you don't need to fly BA to get your pair of Union Jack boxer
shorts. And accordingly they also have some DVDs in stock, including
those of the new series of our beloved Doctor Who.

City Public Library Mid-Manhattan Library 455 Fifth Avenue at 40th Street New York, New York 10016 212.340.0833 www.nypl.org http://www.nypl.org/branch/central/mml |
This is the best kept secret of
all! I've met people who have lived here for years and never knew,
the Midtown branch of the New York City Public Library has EVERY Doctor
Who VHS story available that was released by BBC Video in North America.
Someone working there must be a big fan, because it is the ONLY Sci-Fi
series with such an extensive collection; sometimes even multiple copies
of various stories. If that's not enough, they also have the novels
available sporadically in their paperback section. Best of all, its
all FREE for New York residents!
