- MCMilagros caudetDec 6, 20241.0Horrible. I went in there to get something mailed internationally and they couldn't do it. The girl rushed me because she had to go to lunch. Went to a different location and they were able to help me out.
- LBLucas BattistellaMay 30, 20241.0HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. Staff at this location really don't want to help the customer.

- CYCasey Hee Young YoonJul 11, 20234.0Entrance is on 51st street, under a huge american flag. Passport application process was straightforward - make the appointment online first.
- FSFulera SimonDec 6, 20225.0So I had my appointment here set for getting my U.S passport. Ms Adam's was my clerk who assisted me with everything. Took my picture here and everything was smooth. They only took my original us citizenship certificate to mail with my application. Overall this post office was prompt and quick would recommend to come if you need to apply for your passport or any services.
