Amazing Buttons!
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Tender Buttons may be a small store but they have an extensive collection of buttons. Be prepared to bring cash, for they do not accept credit or debit cards. The buttons were, for the most part, on the expensive side. I walked out with a small bag that contained $200 worth of buttons. ( and i don't regret it!) The collections that hang on the wall can be $150+ each. Their buttons are great quality and whatever it is your looking for you can be sure you will find it there! They have even more buttons in the back in addition to the ones you see on the floor. The men that were there were extremely nice once i began talking to them. Remember your in New York City..often times people don't approach you for conversation. But the experience was great and I got buttons that I could not get back home. I will definitely visit Tender Buttons during my next visit to Manhattan!
