Very helpful and cool store. Coming back!
You will have to ask for help first if you need it. Got the sense that this was more from them giving customers space to browse rather than being rude--when I did ask they were very pleasant.
Staff here does everything in their power to do nothing to help their patrons. Spoiled ugly hipsters.
Outstanding juggling equipment for professionals or enthusiasts. Showroom is open during business hours. Come hang out and juggle! Read more.
Old location was better :/ the new spot lacks the same level of coziness and fossil variety
Drop off garments or wait while they fix snaps, buttons, grommets, rivets, anything! Quick, friendly, and well worth the small fee.
Replaced a button on a leather jacket. They did a great job.
The nicest place to get all of your snaps and tack buttons and grommets and studs!
Kind, helpful staff will move boxes and use their encyclopedic knowledge to find stuff for you. Don't be afraid to ask questions!
Really friendly staff. The new location is smaller, but it's also cleaner and more organized. Great little shop.
Check out the Music of DC Comics 75th Anniv Collection! 31 tracks of themes from Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, etc! Many songs have never been available before now and the CD includes a DC poster! Read more.
Check out the huge variety of chess sets! So beautiful. My favorites are the Egyptian ones.
Play Eric. Older guy. He doesn't play book openings, has never played tournaments, but is probably a solid 1800+ blitz player.
$5 per person buys you an hour of chess. Game on when the weather turns.
The Village Voice voted this Best Ben Katchor–Style Hobby Shop in our Best Of New York Poll!
His prices change with his mood! In five minutes, he raised the price of an item I wanted $20. I left empty handed. The internet will get my business instead.
Coolest magic store ever. Def worth a visit.
Great place to bring kids or your 25 year old friends who are still children at heart!
The place for magicians to hang on NYC
they have cards! it’s a hobby shop that has card and model kits for a good price. this was my regular spot when i was in high school... glad it’s still there
Victor is very helpful with well priced Pokemon cards.
Great staff. Don is super helpful. Jon seems like the nicest kid on the planet and Ian runs a tight ship.
Warcraft? They have it!
You'll find plenty of DAKKA here for your WAAAGH!
This shop is simply unbelievable! From Mettler to Gütman, to many other brands, this place is PACKED with threads, trims, sewing basics, professionals tools, and much, much more. Outstanding!
Hate hate hate the service here but they have lots of great tools, notions, #10 metal zippers and other useful items in addition to thread.
Great fast service and they deliver!
Also houses the Houdini Museum (a large collection of artifacts from the life of the great magician and escape artist). Read more.
Free magic demonstrations :)
Great new design to shop now on the third floor
Great place. Nice, eccentric staff. Def go here for any rubber-stamp needs. Support cool NYC businesses like this one.
I'm so glad I found Casey. His store is what makes NYC worth the high rent, and the bed bugs, and the shitty weather.
This store is why I love the East Village. Locally-owned with a crazy array of cool stamps. The ornery owner, Casey, has the best stories of old school NYC too!
Perfect for locals and out-of-towners.. friendly staff available to help and regulars knitting in the back.. Bring your knitting and pull up a chair. Lenny the dog may come by to say hello....
Check out the sale yarn in the back. Great deals for small projects.
Had a proper domestic partner's chair for the non-knitting spouse.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
