Well, the people who run the Gray Line bus tours in New York, New York do! Effective immediately, Madame Alexander Doll Company has become the newest stop on the Gray Line Bus Tours of New York City! This is an impressive achievement, since it is the first time in fifteen years that Gray Line has revised their tour itinerary for this particular route.
If you want to take Gray Line to the Madame Alexander Doll Company, they are now stop #34 on the "hop on hop off" Double Decker Bus Tour Uptown Loop. The company is now open to visitors seven days a week from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, where visitors can see the museum-quality Madame Alexander Heritage Gallery and the Company Store.
The Heritage Gallery showcases the 85 year history of the Alexander Doll Company, with hundreds of dolls from the Madame Alexander archives on display. There is also a showroom where guests can view the current year's collection. The Gift Shop offers discounts on retired dolls, sample dolls, and slightly imperfect dolls. Some items are deeply discounted.
Even if you are a New York resident or a collector of dolls visiting New York that isn't necessarily a tourist, if you take Gray Line to Madame Alexander you get a coupon for a very generous 15% discount on all items in the Company Store. If you want to make a day of it, I've been told by Madame Alexander representatives that Stop #34 also includes Harlem’s "Dinosaur Bar-B-Qu" known for its Souther Fried food.
