What People Are Saying About Opane

The Vibe
Frenzied adorable. The music's loud, and looking at everything on the first floor alone could take some time. You're going to want to fill that little plastic shopping bag that they provide, so beware.
The Draw
Opane has all of those cell-phone accessories that you've been spotting around town: Hello Kitty wrist straps that light up when your phone rings, flashing, colored antennas, pastel key pads and the teeniest beepers we've seen. Don't miss the five photo sticker booths downstairs, either.
Who's Buying
Asian kids and adults (even grown Asian men love "the cute," unlike their Western counterparts). American teens and grown gals alike who are lucky enough to have found this mecca of the sweet and adorable.
Staff 'Tude
Helpful and friendly. Note their highly decorated cell phones for some inspiration.
The Details on Opane
One of New York's Best:
Nominated for best place to find high-tech gadgets. Don't miss Opane's two floors in the heart of Koreatown chock-full of merchandise by Japanese Sanrio (you know, Hello Kitty!) plus every cell-related goodie known to man.
Hint:
Opane's pronounced Oh-pah-nay.
