Reviews of Gothic Renaissance (Costumes)

Mikko Manninen

Donte' DeFlora

What a gem

Vincenzo Pennacchioli

Vuoi portare un pensierino alla nostra Cristina o no?Bel negozio Gothic fornito ,personale gentile e disponibile.

Tom Spindler

The store is best thought of as an extension of the (fabulous) costume store next door; while the atmosphere is great and there's a lot of stuff, much of it is expensive and/or cheaply made and straight from taobao; I've heard people apply the pejorative "mall goth" to the place. But still, there's a good selection, the clerks are helpful, and if you really need attire for the peanut butter dance and don't want to go searching it out online, it's a fine place to go. Good makeup collection, too.

Michael Iggena

Fun vibe, with a variety of gothic costumes and accoutrements

Kevin Sanford

What a great store this is..Manager Stitch and Julia top it off being so customer friendly especially when helping pic out items for your girlfriends. This store has amazing items too...In usually spend lots of time here deciding what to buy....and just end up buying many items... The sales staff all have a very cool look and dress so perfectly for this store...Kudo's!!

Sandra Denkers

Di Lu

Amazing collection, though severely overpriced

Valkyrie Rising

Even if you don't need a costume go visit this place. Bring someone fun to giggle with while strolling through the very vast array of costumery and gags. So fun. Could even be a great first date as you will see many hilarious, scary and sexy item to strike up interesting topics. Why not buy yourself something silly or erotic to get your mood boosted. Something for everyone. Prices seemed fair for NYC and the store was clean. I want the Annubis and fox masks! *drool*

Ferdinand Kindelan Irving

Need more variation

johnny justice

M G

Great service.

harold alexis

Liked it, great assistance and Service! Way to go!

Snaky Black

Dopest place I've ever seen. Huge, has everything you can think of, but expensive af (or it could be all the cool/goth stuff are expensive) It's quite an experience itself to just go inside and look around.

Rich Green

Really Kool store , really liked the hats here !

John Dellorso

amazing finds and oddities!! Shopping is execatly what the name says

Mica Marie

Hands down the most honest, friendly, easy to talk to and overall best store owner/manager(maybe manager too?) that I have met! PLUS they have the greatest selection of Gothic, club, lingerie, fetish clothing, dub dress up clothing, as well as accessories, bras, underwear.. And SHOES. oh my. I left with 3 pairs! That's a very heavy load there if you know the shoes they sell. The store is also large with a Great variety of styles, price range, unique prices and even some. Local designer clothing and accessories. Just be careful.. One could totally empty their bank account there due to how amazing everything is!

Melissa Davis

I love this store and also the people working there! There so fun to be around n everything is very good quality n well made. Just wish it wasn't so pricey but idc.

Adriana Padilla

Cool store. A bit overpriced, but this is NYC after all

Rome Odom

Great selection of unique Goth costumes. Nice selection of glow in the dark costumes and accessories.

Jennifer Thackrey

Staff was super friendly, and helped me get my very first corset! Thank you so much!

Felis Loyata

Great shop for the goth and the extravaganza people at medium level: too much for beginners and too common for experienced ones. Little bit overwhelmed by all the things hanging around. Unfortunately they don't have much selection for bigger sizes. Stuff is very friendly and helpful. Let you try out what you want (of course you have to be friendly as well). Specially appriciate the extra person at the fitting rooms: comes very handy if you try corsets. ;-)

Tayzlor

The one clothing store I stop at

haley white

Interesting selection. Fun just to walk around and look. Huge store for nyc. Nothing like it any where else in town.

Jazmin Jackson

I bought a dope masquerade mask from here. They have really cool pieces from corsets, to masks, to jewelry, to headdresses... whatever, you name it. Service was friendly and very helpful also.

Katerina St.

Great store, but the only reason I gave 4 starts is because of the behavior of one of the venders ( a sloppy, rude, chubby, long green hair lazy bum, sitting at the front countertop who was offending every customer).

Tiff Downs

This place is absolutely beautiful! I love this place so much!

Steve Friedrich

One of my favorite goth shops in the country.

Lee Karr

I love this place great selection good prices friendly help

Paul Santo

Great place for Halloween Costumes or everyday stuff....

Carina Silva

Was impressive...

Tina impastato

Great items if this is your style

Victor Psybotik

The best store in Manhattan, not only is the staff dedicated to your time and style they make you feel welcomed. Shopping here feels like it's your closet and they guide you on what to wear to execute your final form. Bless this store ♥ ps if you have any brand suggestions tell them, they take there clients very seriously and will do research on the brand. Stitch is the man!!!! ♥

Rich メyz

Good store

Aleksandr Panzin

A nice cosplay store. Take a bit note - most items are sized in Asia(L size = S). Do not buy anything without trying it on.

Amanda Lee

I love this place so much, it speaks to my soul. I've been in here so many times and haven't bought anything yet (it is a bit pricey but I expected no less) but the staff are friendly and happy to help in any way! If I were rich I'd only buy clothing from here and no where else

Scott Casey

WOW!!!!!!

Sébastien Ostertag

Beaucoup d'accessoires mais pas aussi underground que ce à quoi je m'attendais

Style by NY

I love this place

Cole M

I lovvvvvvveeeee this shop

Ann Thompson

They will bend over backwards to get you in a corset and (despite inital appearances) are VERY plus size friendly.

juan quispe

Unique clothing!!!! Very friendly place

miranda hintze

Incredible clothing and accessories choices, you can find one of a kind pieces for a full range of prices. Both gothic and renaissance, with helpful employees.

Alex B

Excellent place to find this kind of stuff

Private Private

Supper cool place!!

Katrina Davies

The clothes are effing cool. Great place to get things for a dark renaissance festival or a steampunk convention. Also plenty of platform footwear.

G Struck

The custom leather, boots, and chainmail are great, bought plenty of lovely gear there over the years

mani talich

Superb variety, real gothic stuff, prices are good, very accommodative staff, didn't have what I wanted but did advise where to go. Huge variety of gothic clothing.

Gina Rivera

(Translated by Google) Super crazy amazing store (Original) Súper loca la tienda increíble

Sabine Reichert

(Translated by Google) I wish we had such a store at home! Great selection. Many accessories for a small price. (Original) Ich wünschte wir hätten einen solchen Laden bei ins Zuhause! Super Auswahl. Viele Accessoires zum kleinen Preis.

Leeta Gato

Amazing clothing such goth, steam punk, fetish, ren faire, and so many unique accessories. Two full walls of corsets & waist cinchers. Petticoats, bustle skirts, poet style shorts, top hats, Victorian style dresses, goggles, masks, crowns, shoestring & boots, rings, necklaces, leather, vinyl, chainmail and so much more. I had a lot of fun here.

Trevor Sumner

This place has a variety of wonderful outfits from goth, steampunk to all kinds of burning man and intimate gear. The staff is generally helpful, although it can get quite busy around Halloween. The one note I would say is that it is quite pricey. If you want cheaper costumes, it's easy enough to go next door. The quality of Gotham Renaissance products is quite high.

Sam Fern

Overpriced, I know places which sell their same products for more resonable prices. But then of course it is located in Manhattan, I have no care for that though. I will say they have a nice array of costumes. Too pricey though.

Luciana Marins

Too much costume and little true goth

C.C. Fariello

I'm a sucker for this place. It's expensive, but so many cute treasures can be found there.

Destiny Moronta

Do they have colored contacts? More of a question than a review.

Rebecca Barry

Amazing selection of gothic and Renaissance related clothes, shoes, and decor items.

Ford Minton

Amazing place very helpful staff great quirky selection

Jen Fraenkel

You don't know it yet but you need something in this store. This cave of wonders has everything from super elegant little period dresses to thoroughly kinky leather items of every variety. The sales people are all really into the lifestyle/mood of the store and they make it really easy to navigate. ZERO judgment in here and only positive things to say!

Bryan Anderson

High quality stock, great atmosphere. You're going to feel overwhelmed if this isn't your "scene."

Saimon Schwartbaumalwitzburgmanstien

Wonderful apparel!

Maya Garcia

For the median price of one of their corsets you could buy the entire discography of The Sisters of Mercy in the deluxe vinyl reissue. Get your goth priorities in order.

Jennifer Levine

Who says dressing dark is an affair reserved for funerals and once-yearly theme parties? Gothic Renaissance provides all your dark & beautiful needs. It's an incredible selection and a worthwhile visit for your inner or outer Victorian lady. And don't forget the incredible basement treasure trove. #spookyspot

Alejandra Perez

Best sexy Halloween customs hands down !

katrina storton

Wicked cool place, best employee is Stan, go here for literally anything you can think of in the costume world.

Dumb Bird

Rude

Anna Polischouk

Gothic style clothes.

Morgan Armitage

I got a really nice gothy dress here. Lots of expensive stuff and everything you'd ever want.

King Hodor

Place was a lot smaller than I expected. What I disliked was being ignored by four employees while I was the only customer there.

Hugo Sauriat

Great place for some school shooter attire.

Lani Shepard

The content is filled with Goth and Halloween clothing, etc. Unfortunately, I ran into a very lazy and disrespectful sales clerk. Hope she's not there any more. The management needs to pay more attention to who they hire. The other staff was ok, but this last experience left a very bad taste in my mouth.

Louis Pelosi

They have a vast selection of quality clothing, costumes, and shoes

Jessi Love

This place is absolutely amazing for anyone who loves gothic style.

Nicole Guilbault

Fantastic store for my fellow darklings. They stock many brands. They feature all Gothic styles from Victorian to raver to punk. The staff are great and very sweet. I definitely recommend getting fitted for a corset while you're there, it's something everyone should experience at some point. Everyone is welcome and no one is judged.

Antonio Morales

Loved it very helpful customer service

Tricia Thorne

Oooo wow amazing place

Lindsay Nell

I WANT TO BUY THIS STORE.

debs oxo

Amazingly cool. Excellent staff.

Tim Ponjican

Passed this place too many times without going in. Instantly regretted that once I did. It's everything I wish I could find elsewhere. Staff are all super helpful, it is a tad busy during Halloween season, but still worth the visit. Definitely need to come back more often.

Romar Randy Morales

Cool place, large and varied inventory.

Andre Flores

I don't know if Halloween adventure and Gothic renaissance are owned by the same company but they had no problem ringing me up for an item from Halloween adventure since the store was closed for a video shoot. Either way, very satisfied with the customer service.

FEDERICO RAMOS

Best place. Biggest.supper nice people. Very nice attention.

Sam Suarez

This store is dope and has an awesome selection of stuff... Stuff is quite expensive...but should be expected as it's more of an eclectic boutique rather than a regular store...

Teegz

This place is a thieves den. People only come here to steal. Tried something on the other week and someone snuck into my bag and stole $200 cash out of my wallet. I took my eyes off my bag for 2 minutes and my money was gone. I will never be coming back here. I called when I found out my money was missing and asked if they could check the surveillance cameras, they said they would, but I never heard a word back from them. They don't care about their customers. And some of the things they sell are loose pieces from other costumes from the Halloween store next door. I saw a piece that was "on sale" for $30 and went next door and found the full costume for the same price. Either you get robbed by the store or you get robbed by one of the regular thieves. Don't go here Amazon is way better.

Rich J

Great store, if you like shopping here just avoid Halloween season.

Joey Martinez

A place to adventure your creativity of ideas to purchase upcoming costume theme all year long with no regrets at all.

Dark Lestat

I like shop storen

ERIKA LOWENBERG

ALL 5 STARS EARNED. GREAT STAFF WITH WONDERFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE. WELL ORGANIZED AND EVEN A $5 BARGAIN CAULDRON;THAT I CAN AFFORD!!!

Cindy Brown

They have everything you could ever want---but pricey! They dont play around. I primarily came for the corsets and they were all approximately between $75 - $200, $150 was the most common. I also looked through the petticoats which were fantastic quality but also around $150. I wound up buying a corset and decided since my petticoat will go under my dress for my costume, I dont need the best of the best. If you want quality though, go here! Just make sure you're willing to spend a pretty penny.

Jason K -independent worker

Very expensive and needs up grade on the stock

marky bucknam

so cool

Skaugen

Awesome store with very cool stuff. I really liked the black light section

Kity Daemon

Very pricey, not the best quality, I unfortunately have to agree with Google's label of Costume Shop versus boutique goth style clothing.

Maria Elena

I love coming here , just too expensive , and some of the workers have an attitude problem .

Kathryn P

Very cool things for people who like well made items! Tried on a corset and was actually fitted properly and treated very well! Learned the proper size for me to wear, over all extremely helpful and wonderful staff. Will be returning soon. Bring a good card or cash, prices are moderate to moderately high but reasonable. You are getting very good quality corsets, costumes, shoes, dresses , bdsm outfits, jewelry and accessories. The steampunk goggles I posted are 120$ four reference

Batticia

Very nice clothings but very expensive

Andrew Johnson

Ok selection of stuff, unique. Staff was ok. Prices are quite high, even for Manhattan. Check it out if you're in the area, but you may be better off ordering stuff online.

Edward Guerrido

A medium sized place but we'll packed with various things to wear or display. It is located next to the Halloween store, so you're going to have fun looking and/or buying stuff.

Shane Savant

Unique, edgy clothing and accessories you can't find anywhere else.

Tony Piccione

Burner essentials

Jillian Melnick

The stuff here is sort of pricey (as is the way with this style), but there is a lot of it, and it's all so gorgeous to look at. They even have some killer boots to go with your goth chic.

Nickel Pauley

This is by far a must see place!! Especially for the gothic community. I loved it.

Dimitry Kopyal

Очень все круто хоть и немного дорого
