Do you mean New York State? New York City including all of its boroughs? or do you mean New York City as in you'll be visiting Manhattan on a business trip?

There are some spy shops on Manhattan, but the pick sets they sell will be over priced. As already suggested, it is probably less of a hassle to just buy them online and have them delivered to your home.

If you are in the city and want to stop by a spy shop and spend $75 on a $15 dollar pick set, then here are some spy shop locations, most sell tiny video cameras and other gadgets, and may or may not have pick sets: Google Maps of Spy Shops in Manhattan

Your email address suggests you are from the UK? is that correct?

If you have credentials then US Lock would be a good bet. They are in Long Island.

Hi guys, yes you would be right to assume by my e-mail address that i'm from England.
I am going to New York city in the state of New York shortly, its more visiting family rather than buisness.
I was looking to expand my collection of locks and padlocks as well as lockpicks while I am over there, basically looking for unusual items.
The advise to look or even purchase online sounds a better idea, as im not there a great deal of time, although i will take proof of what i do over with me just in case.
