    Balloons in new york

    Hi all

    Will be in New York for 3 weeks in February for work and wondered if anyone knew of any decent places where I can buy some balloons before I travel back to the uk. I’ve heard of balloon salon and was thinking about a visit there but wondered if somewhere like party city was worth a visit?

    Appreciate any feedback

    NYC resident here. For the most part I've only ordered balloons online, so I'm also really curious to read answers to this question

      Balloon Saloon is worth a visit, just to soak up the latex-filled atmosphere. However, they prefer to sell helium-filled balloons. The one time I purchased un-inflated balloons from them, it was quite expensive. If you are going to be in NYC for 3 weeks, why not order balloons online from a US source? Look at bargainballoons, ballooncountry, Brodys balloons, and saveonballoons. You can get balloons delivered in 3 days at good prices. Saveonballoons will even sell you 17" and 24" Tuftex by the piece. Oh, and take an extra suitcase to bring home all those balloons!

        Many thanks for that info -I suppose I am thinking of getting some balloons that maybe harder to get in the uk. I always found tuftex expensive to buy but that has been partly solved by the new balloon website balloon ace. Will def take a look at balloon salon!!

            Balloon saloon was the store I was thinking of but never been myself. It always amazed me that it has so many inflatables outside when it is a city store.

              I've attached a photo that I took of the store. I wish that I could have taken a photo inside. It is a small store, but was filled with balloons. The smell of latex was quite prominent. They were inflating 16" balloons while I was there. I could see jars full of big balloons waiting to be blown up. It is a Looner's dream store, except for the prices.

                  I'm not very familiar with NY geography but "Havin' A Party" is around the NYC metropolitan area, they have all types of brands and they're really nice. Also ships, and have an Instagram!

                    Thanks for this - I am going to visit both places just to experience it. I do appreciate all of the replies to my original question. I will try and post some photos - do you think they are aware of the looner community?

                      Believe me, I follow these guys on instagram and they have everything (well maybe not cattex, but if you are into tuftex, belbal, gemar, and sempertex, yo are in the best place)
