“This was the magnum opus of collectible stores. Have never been in a place like this, a safe haven in New York. Come here if you want to enjoy the good things in life.”
“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.”
“Everyone is very friendly and knowledgeable. They have a fantastic collection of new and old comics. They also have a really great collection of collectibles in stock. They've also got a large collection of graded comics.”
“Great little shop that’s inside of mini mall where you can buy or sell genuine gold & silver coins and accessories, very good knowledgeable service by the owner, no pressure and no hassles, honest and reasonable valuation.”
“NYC's longest running board game & rpg shoppe (I think, my research is minimal on this) is literally floor to ceiling games. You can find not only new release, but titles from decades ago among it's packed shelves. This place is truly worth a visit when you are in Manhattan.”
“Thank you Henry for being a gracious proprietor and kind soul. We were treated as family. Fanny pack and birthday gift purchased at reasonable price. Always a good idea to go in and say hello!”
“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.”

“One of my favorite places in the whole world. An art store for the community run by artists ? Everyone always talks about places that are long since closed but I remember them all and A&C is like what if they were kind and welcoming, too.”
“It’s a nice store has a lot of options for crafts supplies. Definitely worth checking out. Staff is very helpful and they know their way around so they can quickly find things for you. I also recommend calling them before going to ask if they have what you’re looking for just to save you a trip. But if you’re just browsing and not sure what you want, definitely check it out.”
“I found this Hobby store by chance during Covid and while its a small two isle store, the owners fill it to the brim for their customers.
With a wide variety of Hobby and Craft items plus being the only hobby store in Queens that I'm aware of that sells Warhammer minis, paints ect, its become my go to place for the hobby.
They also partner with local businesses for games and offer discounts for veterans amungst other things. Great location with good people.”
“My favorite board game store in the city! The play space is a bit small but it's manageable. The staff is top notch and the community is simply amazing!
They have most if not all of the popular board games as well as a selection of minis and paint supplies. They also have a good selection of rpg material and supplies!
If ever you find yourself close by, I highly recommend a quick browse!”

“Love book stores which are virtually a relic of the past. A nice place to spend some time browsing titles. I was looking for books for our grandchildren. I noticed it was a draw for some neighborhood seniors as a place to cool off on a hot summer day while reading up on some titles.”
“Went here a few months ago and was blown away by the spaciousness! Definitely more expensive than the other arcades and be prepared to spend more money. However, the merch and plushies are official and licensed, as far as I know this is the only arcade in flushing that does not have bootlegs so that may explain the higher price tag. I will say, I really liked the Lunar New Year promo they had and they should definitely have similar events more often to offset the difficulty and high cost-but at the same time, it's still skill and luck based!Machines are definitely harder, but ask employees for help! The last time we went, we were trying to win a derpy looking dinosaur, and it was very difficult (claw was too weak and plushie was very big and chubby) and the worker helped us reposition. The app did glitch and take away 2 tries for us that we weren't able to play, but the same worker helped us (I never got her name but she had glasses!). She was very encouraging and sweet and helped us win it!”
“Just a all around great experience at today’s meet and greet! Had issues with funds and they were so kind and completely made my day by letting me get a autograph and picture taken with David Peterson today form completely free! I couldn’t believe the hospitality, definitely will be coming by again to purchase basbeall cards, and highly recommend this location! Great people, thanks again guys!!”
“The store was smaller than I expected, but the items and objects that they had in the store were incredible. They had a REAL human skeleton and many other animals and creatures for your amazement. If you're into animals or sea creatures, then I strongly recommend you to come here.”
“Practically grew up here when it was a small shop located in the basement of Hong Kong Supermarket way inthe back right corner. A Flushing staple for the card game enthusiasts.”
“Phenomenal store focused on building communities for tabletop games, TCGs, RPGs, and wargames. Easily the most inclusive wargming community (e.g.: Warhammer 40k, Warhammer: Age of Sigmar, and Battletech) in NYC, and home to some of the best 40k regular tournaments and leagues in the tri-state area. Great store and staff!”
“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.”
“I've been going to The Card Cave since I discovered their store in June, and I couldn't be happier. I've been able to buy/sell my cards to them. They have many different sports and brands within card collecting. The staff is very knowledgeable regarding sports/trading cards. They also do submissions to PSA, and will help you figure out which cards you should submit. I'm excited to finally find a local shop to go to. Store is clean and comfortable. First time I went there, I was there for 3 hours hanging out and buying cards. I would recommend you visit this store.”
“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.”
“Mike is a great guy took my nitro car that wouldnt start he got it started in less than 5 minutes would would recommend to anybody thats in the hobby very helpful and honest guy would come here again for anything rc related”
“The frame I ordered from Amazon arrived broken so I came to Blick. Shout-out to Oz who patiently help me choose the right frame and helped me set it up correctly. Much appreciated!”
“Its fine its loud asf with the guy screaming vanguard players!!!! Every hr and its tons of racism and random stuff happening but its not a bad place n its pretty chill they have tons of options and i dont believe a limit on cards which is cool 10 entry fee for tournament and everyone who plays round 1 gets a promo theyre very organized with the games and signing up so its chill just too loud for me personally but i like it there”
“Awesome old school hobby store. The owners are super friendly, genuine enthusiasts, and very helpful.
The store is a goldmine of kits, and trains. Ask to head downstairs or out the back, there’s way more to the store than you’d expect.”
“I'm so glad this store is still open. One of the few true mom-and-pop stores that I've been to. Good selection of Star Trek ships and Gundam! Looking forward to getting some 1/100 Gunpla.”

“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.”
“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.”
“Decided to make this one of my stops during my trip to NYC. I gotta say it was well worth it!
Upon entry, Vic was super welcoming and inviting to come check out the shop! The selection here is absolutely mind boggling! They have everything you could ever need when it comes to any TCG.
Not only that, but the service is incredible! They showed me some slabs, some sealed product, and had some sweet deals!
Great shop owned by a great family! Will be returning next time I am in the city!”
“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.”

“Cool game store. Really nice dudes at front counter and very courteous. Be advised NO WARHAMMER and no model glue. They have paint but again it’s not Citadel. However, lots of board games and play space in the rear. Seems cool but needs the 40K to make me a common.”
