Mary Arnold Toys: America’s Oldest Continuously Run Toy Store

For over 90 years, Mary Arnold Toys has been a beloved part of New York City’s toy scene, offering families a personal, magical shopping experience that’s become increasingly rare in today’s world.

When F.A.O. Schwarz closed its doors in 2015, The Village Voice recognized Mary Arnold Toys as the oldest continuously run toy store in the United States—a title we proudly carry forward to this day.

Since 1931, we’ve been more than just a place to buy toys—we’ve been a community institution, helping generations of families find the perfect gifts for their children.
