“I was recommended to come here and I found a cute Marine tshirt and this helmet bag! It is spacious and sturdy, I’ve used it as a laptop bag with all my essentials and also a gym bag. Excited to shop here again!”

“Well stocked place for all ypur RC hobby needs. The sales/counter person Dillion was not only very helpful but knowledgeable as well. Would be returning and recommending SHADOW HOBBIES!!”
“This is a place where all your nerdy, anime loving dreams come true. Staff is very nice and helpful all the time. Overall a great place to shop for your nerdy/geeky crafty needs.”
“I love this store! I visit whenever I'm in NYC. They have a large selection of scientific specimens and natural world items. Skulls, gemstones, meteorites, aquatic items, fossils, and so much more. Anyone looking for interesting items for themselves or as a gift, should make it a point to go to the Evolution Store.”

“Love to go there - amazing selection - but you have to understand the experience. It contains a HUGE selection of games, and RPG books. Might be the most in NY State outside of the huge Millennium games up in Rochester. I've found items that have been out of print for years, or had small production runs.
BUT...
Stacked in huge shelves that stretch from floor to ceiling. It takes a while to read through everything! With tiny aisles that barely have room for one person to walk down. If you're claustrophobic, be warned!
It's almost all at MSRP. Not a place to get a bargain or a deal, generally (that said, they do have a bargain shelf at the back of the store. Right hand aisle, left side all the way back).”

“The sign outside suggests this is either a Hare Krishna storefront or a first generation head shop. Don't be deceived. Inside is one of the hippest (and hippiest) stores in the Village.
True to their name, they have beads, lots of them, from plastic to semi-precious and in all price ranges. Ditto crystals, minerals, regional handicrafts from Mexico and India, beaded curtains, you name it.
They also have a few thousand holiday ornaments, with an emphasis on cultural icons past and present. Are there elves and Santas, sure. But you'll also find Taylor Swift ornaments, Wizard of Oz/Wicked ornaments. Puppies, cats, birds, Hindi gods, Tim Curry (as Dr. Frank-N-Furter), wica-themed things, Queen Elizabeth and the rest of the royals, manga, the Golden Girls, tacos, Harry Styles, and hypodermic needles. Most are glass and in good taste; some of in decidedly bad taste (I wanted those most of all).
Because it's a little dusty in spots, it still gives a 1970's, "Whole Earth" vibe. Thankfully, the courteous staff (Candace helped me and she was a delight) brings a wholesome and helpful air to the place. I bought a Glinda the Good Witch and a Taylor Swift ornament but expect to go back for a Botox syringe.
If you've read my other reviews (i.e., More and More and John Derian) you know I'm huge a fan of great ornaments. This shop makes a worthy companion to those other two with very little overlap in the products they offer. I wish I'd stumbled in sooner.
Just for good measure, pick up a little Rose Quartz to help get your through the holidays (these are tough times, maybe a crystal will help).
Who is going to love it? Christmas freaks, jewelry people, yogis, fashionistas, drag queens, crafters, and the rest of the cool kids.”
“This review is in memory of my father Rick who passed away one week ago from today, Father's Day. Fountain Pen Hospital brought my father a lot of joy and he worked closely with the previous owners who were dear friends. I have many beautiful pens gifted to me from my father from here that I cherish.”
“Call the guy was awesome on the phone. I went down to his store. Store was one of the best stores I have been in on the East Coast from Florida. I will definitely be back every year. Guy is super knowledgeable treated me like a king. Thank you.”
“Tannen's shop is magical. Anyone who has made it to the 6th floor at number 45 and to door 608 will end up in a paradise for magicians. Hundreds of tricks are waiting behind the large counter to be demonstrated and purchased. There is also a whole library of magical literature on the shelves.”
“Awesome store! Hosts a lot of community events, and has a great collection of board games-- helped me pick a copy of something I was missing day-of. Staff was super friendly.”
“They is a really nice selection of comics available to buy. They also have a really nice selection of other things such as Pokémon cards, which is always a welcome addition to a comic bookstore, friendly Workers and an overall pleasant experience My only thing is the hours aren’t the best But still overall great store”
“My favorite card store I’ve ever been to since my 20 year collecting adventure began. Prices are stellar and Steve is just that “dude”. They have gaming events - primarily Magic and Yugioh - but have cards for everything else. Will be coming here continuously.”

“It has oil and acrylic paints, a variety of brushes and various plastic arts, including frames ready for your paintings, as well as various materials that can be sublimated and equipment to personalize clothing and accessories. I bought Windsor & Newton Acrylics, which are what I use in my paintings.”
“Chris and his team at America The Beautiful are second to none. From the moment you walk in to his beautiful historic storefront, you can already feel that you made the right choice. All of the products at his place are made in the U.S. including but not limited to the flags, flagpoles, and the hardware. Chris treated you like you were a part of his family taking care of every question and concern in a timely manner and was extremely professional, transparent, ready to take on the task at hand, and taking pride in his work. I could have not asked for a better flagpole and even better service! If you want a company that will provide exceptional service than look no further than this place!”
“It’s a dime in a dozen to find a unique shop like this in New York. It truly is wonderful that there are beautiful shops like this one dedicated to crafts like knitting and sewing. I was in complete awe when I entered this shop. Everything was so beautiful! I loved all the rainbow of colors of the fabrics and yarn. I loved there was wall to wall of yarn in so many vibrant colors. I spent a lot of time looking at the fabrics and their beautiful colors and patterns. I was imagining all the projects I can for my home using all those fabrics. I loved that the shop had cute items for home decor. The shop even had all the tools needed for sewing and knitting. From scissors to thread to measuring tape. I also spent a lot of time looking at the sewing books and project books the shop carries. The shop offers all kinds of sewing and knitting classes. The best thing about this shop is that everything is excellent quality. Everyone should visit this shop.”
“Experience was amazing the owner helped me with everything I needed and went through all of the products throughly with me. 100% recommend and must visit for all your card needs.”
“Time Warp used to be the greatest game store in NJ. It was cluttered but it had EVERYTHING, from indie RPGs to weird board games to minis. I used to play board games here every Friday night, and the community was amazing; it was a home away from home.
Unfortunately, the owner passed away a couple years ago and the store is very different (though the awesome and welcoming community persists). Now the store is much less cluttered and has more comfortable gaming space. But the new owner’s approach is… well they only care about CCGs. I play wargames here most weeks, and I make an effort to buy something every time I’m there because I’d like to keep the store going as a friendly place to play.
But it’s not easy. The stock of board games appears to be ever dwindling, and they flat-out don’t stock board wargames anymore. I think they sell some D&D books, but no interesting indie RPGs. The Warhammer selection is barely refreshed and not at all responsive to what people at the store play or want to play. And I swear, they haven’t restocked their paints in a year. I have to go to other stores to get even the most basic paints.
The staff is as friendly as the community, and I get it, Magic and Pokemon are cash cows. But they’re leaving (a lot of) money on the table by neglecting every other type of gaming. It’d be nice if Time Warp once again showed its regulars as much love and loyalty as they show it.”
“This place is the best hobby shop in NJ. I have been to a few dozen hobby shops and this place has it all. Parts for all types of RC stuff. (NOT JUST TRAXXAS) like every other hobby shop nowadays. Keep up the good work and remember to support your small business local hobby shop!”
“Can't say anything bad about them. I had a client call and order over the phone and it was available for a smooth and clean pickup the same day. I can always find what I need and they have multiple NYC locations (and a very user-friendly website) just in case you can't find what you need. I even picked up a compact drawing board for myself. The staff was so friendly and approachable that it was an easy sale.”
“I drove from Harlem to have two pictures framed and I'm so glad I did. Angela was the sales associate/framer who helped me. She was an absolute sweetheart. Not only is she knowledgeable but she's patient and kind. This will be my go-to location for any framework needed from now on.”

“Great shop to visit if you are into Funko Pops. As soon as you enter, you are surrounded by pops everywhere. Most shops just carry a million commons but Wize Guys carry a huge variety of pops from old to new. Definitely worth a visit!”
“I love this place. The owner is very friendly and easy to talk with. John has been in business for himself for a long time and treats people right. It makes a difference when you buy or sell with a family-owned local business who go the extra yard for their customers, instead of a big impersonal corporation where employees come and go. John is interested in you becoming a repeat customer, and not just a one-time deal, and it shows. Give his place a try, especially when you have some extra time and can linger and browse, and see if you like it there as much as I do.”
“This is a really big prime Michaels but it's not as stocked as a lot of smaller Michaels. It's ok, I'm just really happy they didn't close this one down because I would need to drive to Queens to get stuff”
“Family owned and operated Apollo flags has been assisting our fire department for over 20 years. Always there to help with guidance and what type of flags to get with the current styles and their service is also second to none. They also help with custom orders”

“Bobbi in the Custom Frames department is amazing... Truly Talented. I am on my 7 piece. She really went above and beyond and help me with art piece. I can eait for the next!”
“The greeters were pleasant. The young lady behind the counter was extremely helpful. She came and helped me look for what I was needing, and then helped me at the register.”
“My experience was very good and I like going to the Blick Art Materials for a long time and I like buying Art Materials from this Location because I am a Self taught Artist.”
“Dr. Saslow is very knowledgeable and also most pleasant in conversation, call to make an appointment and I strongly recommend Ye Olde Curiositie Shoppe for all your relatedbusiness needs”

“This Michael's is fairly well stocked. Everything is slightly pricier than Hobby Lobby, but frequent coupons and discounts help a lot!
I would like to see more felt colors and more felt in stock. Many things are sold out frequently, which makes the shopping experience insecure.
I would like to see buckets of air-dry white clay, not just bags. Also, the floral section could be more varied and cheaper! I would also like to see acrylic paint fully stocked. They're always low on various paint colors. I would like to see tiny craft scissors, elastic bands of various sizes, more colors of faux fur, more types of plastic mesh, and affordable packing supplies like paper, tape, and bubble wrap.
I would like to purchase everything in one place, but the prices are too high at Michael's.
The store is pretty neat and tidy, and there are staff to ask. I also like that you can use the bathroom. Thank you for that. Checkout could be a little more personal and friendly. It is not a warm experience to actually shop there. Also, they don't give bags at checkout, which is such a bummer. It may be a small thing, but it really changes the shopping experience and makes the customer feel more appreciated when you get a nice bag for free.
I like the order pickup option, but there should be a scan system so it could be noted when the bag is picked up. Hope this constructive feedback helps!”

“I brought my three boys in here while I had a little time to kill. My son is a new card collector and he was in awe with the number of unopened boxes in this store. What a collection! We bought just one box and went home with so much more. My boys were telling everyone about the very cool place they went. Thank you for the experience you provided the boys.”
