High design & fun. When Ad Hoc shut its doors a few years ago, the only place left in town you could go on the spur of the moment to browse for beautiful, modern, FUN and cutting edge housewares was Mxyplyzyk (Moss misses the fun part). Having expanded to two store fronts at its Greenwich Avenue home, it is still flying the flag high.
The perfect party store, and one that will get you in the mood to purchase a show off item for your home, Mxyplyzyk specializes in defying categorization and always having something brand new that you have never seen.
They stock lighting, clocks, bathroom hardware, luggage, dinnerware, toys, barware, phones, mats and much more at every price point you can imagine (though most prices are smaller than a breadbox).
Their website is annoying (and doesn't show much). And like many New York stores, they want you to visit instead of shopping online (which is a silly business plan, but the visit is good). Our favorite items are the Tibor Kalman M & Co. clocks (@ $125), the Jacob Jensen phone ($95), and all their lighting (shown: artichoke lamp $85). MGR

I wish I had seen these comments before I ordered from them online. I bought a large bag, which arrived smashed down in a flat box and salad servers, which are defective. They are also only printed on one side, which was not mentioned in the description. They are also printed wrong, with some of the white showing on the front. I have contacted them and received no reply. They were supposed to be Christmas gifts. I'm very disappointed and wouldn't order from them again. Customer service is not a priority at Mxyplyzyk.
LOVE THIS !
The "double-wide" mother that came in that day was horrid indeed! There certainly is another side to "some" of these dear mothers that stop at nothing to say " since I have two children I rule. My children can throw melted ice cream all around anytime they wish". I'm such a wonderful self-centered mother that does not have to tell my children no at anytime - even at the expense of businesses. Yes, it is true everyone! Mxyplyzyk HATES children! Kill off all of the children!! ;-) LOL.
