Millennials yearning for the simpler days of the ’80s and ’90s when your biggest stress was remembering to feed your Giga Pet will find pure joy in this quirky, one-of-a-kind museum. Packed with every throwback toy, game and tchotchke you can imagine, it’s like stepping straight into your childhood bedroom. The story behind it is as charming as the collection itself. Owners and avid toy collectors Jeff and Phebe simply ran out of space in their New York City apartment to display their treasure trove of vintage finds (mostly from the ’70s and ’80s) so they decided to share the magic with everyone. Now, Astorians and city dwellers alike can take a walk down memory lane, reliving the joy of old-school favorites. And it’s not just for looking—there are plenty of nostalgic goodies for sale, perfect for anyone wanting to take a piece of the past home.
