234 West 42nd St. New York City (Manhattan), NY , 10036 Website 5/15/22: Ripley's closed indefinitely on 11/28/21 due to COVID. Machine shipped back to owner.
After 14 years, the location is now closed. I went this morning and there was a sign that said store closed on November 28th 2021. I almost wanted to cry. I called the number on the notice and a lady picked up. She said they send the machine back to the manufacture. I am so sad. VH 2021.
