“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.”
“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.”

“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.”
“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.”
“I gotta say this place is a time capsule it has really cool old school trucks, trains, busses, boats, planes and anime stuff too like Gundum star track star wars etc... and the old man is really cool... soo go there and show some love.”
“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!”
“I love this place

“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.”
“Everyone is very friendly here. I am extremely casual with card games, but I’ve always felt welcome.
I love buying random old games here too”
“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!”

“Very well kept shop with an extensive collection of all things cards and memorabilia. Staff is extremely helpful and professional. Great place for sports enthusiasts and collectors to get merchandise and memorabilia!”
“Really nice hobby store, with Pokémon and all types of sports cards. Great selection of holders and protective cases. Picked up some 49ers singles to add to my collection and they were the first store to carry 2025 NFL Panini Prizm, so was super excited to pick up a blaster box. Looking forward to stopping in again.”

“Hobby Lobby in Paramus is an amazing store that truly covers every hobby you can imagine. I really appreciate how wide the selection is, whether you’re into crafting, building, designing, or collecting. I was especially excited to find Godzilla-themed items, which made my visit even more fun. The seasonal section is always impressive, with great decorations and ideas throughout the year. I also appreciate the quality and variety of blank t-shirts and sweatshirts, along with the huge selection of iron-ons that make customizing clothing easy and affordable. The car models and toys are great for collectors and hobbyists, and the art supply section is well stocked with everything from basics to professional tools. This Hobby Lobby truly has something for everyone.”
“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.”
“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 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.”

“I met Victoria Monét here for a photo op, got a copy of her new book and passed her team some of my R&B beats. Hopefully, she uses at least 1 of the beats on that hard drive and win herself another Grammy Award ? ?”
“I have placed a great many orders with this fine firm. They have not disappointed. They have a great selection at very reasonable premiums. They have frequent deals and many opportunities to buy gold and silver at spot prices that keep me coming back. They have THE lowest premiums that I have found.”
“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.”

“Hollywood Heros has two things going for it. 1) An amazing, incredible selection of toys, new and vintage. 2) The nicest owners possible. My 12 y.o. son is a huge Star Wars collector, and he discovered HH on Yelp about. year ago. We've gone maybe a dozen times now even though it's an hour round trip. We often find rare and impossible to get items here and if it's not on the shelves, it's probably in their basement, so just ask. We became friendly with Jordan and Val on our trips there, and Jordan has been especially gracious. He always has time to talk, answer questions, and be friendly. Even when we come to just window shop, we still have great talks. Recently my son was looking for an ARC-170 gunship, and Jordan and Val had just gotten one in that had missing parts, and they gave it to my son as a thank you for being a loyal customer. It made my son's month. The store is a block from the central shopping district, so when we go we get bagels or Korean chicken and make a day out of it, or go the few blocks to Trader Joes. I know a Trader Joes isn't a selling point for a store specifically, but as a parent of someone who loves shopping here it's nice to have a cute town that can be part of the experience.”
“We love Morning Glory. The staff are always so kind and helpful. The inventory is always updating and fully stocked. You need to check out this adorable store. Snacks, drinks, hard to find toys, stationary, makeup, Photo Booth and now they do parties! Can’t say enough good things about this gem in Closter.”
“Was in the area and looking for a few products so stopped in. Place is stocked on sports. Prices are in line with sports card stores. For harder to find stuff it’s a bit more than retail but that’s expected and fair. The guy there, possibly the owner, was friendly and super helpful. I ended up with some good stuff and an overall good experience. I’ll be back. If you need anything from baseball to Pokemon they have it and like I said, fair prices. Oh lots of hockey which is not easy to find always.”
