Some stores do have samples of wallpaper you could take a look at in person for instance there are many unique design stores in the city like House of Hackney, Moooi, Flavor Paper and Farrow & Ball. However the reality is that stores in NYC do not carry a wide selection of papers and you can find more variety online on different websites and can order samples.
