“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Really kind and friendly owner, lots of cool stuff, fair prices, a little hard to move around in but who among us doesn’t have more cool stuff than they have space for? Happy I stopped in and happy with my finds :)”
“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.”

“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 went for a AA battery operated clock work to replace one that died a peaceful end. Needed assistance find the clock works. I installed it and it worked. Another positive Michael's experience”
“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.”

“I LOVEEEE this Michaels they have everything you need and I decorated my graduation cap with all the materials from here!!! And I also get my yarn from here!! They have such a variety of things!”
“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.”

“America’s past time is a Burton County gem. Rich really knows his stuff which is refreshing in a world with most retail interactions I feel like I know more than the worker does. He’s attentive without hovering yet gives an honest advice and generally cares about getting you the right item not just the most expensive one. Whether you’re shopping for sports cards autographs or a sports gift he makes the process smooth and enjoyable. He’s got a great selection great service and a real gentleman. If you want quality without nonsense come to America’s Pastime. ?”
“Im so glad this fabric store is still open. Yesterday, I was able to find the fabric I need for a last minute dress for my daughter. Everyone is so helpful and the prices are great.”
“Lovely experience today with Arissa, who exhibited extraordinary kindness and patience as I sought to have 3 photos of my Mom framed. She listened attentively to what I thought might look good and showed me a virtual picture of what I selected on her computer. Then we both noodled around with mat colors until we came up with something we both thought looked great. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product. Many thanks to Arissa for her artistic eye and generosity with her time.”
“Michael's will always be my #1 place to go for my craft supplies. Being a member, you earn discount vouchers to spend as a reward for shopping at Michael's. The best part of using the reward vouchers is that you can use them on top of sale items which cuts the prices even more.”
“Great hobby store with Pokémon, Sports Cards, Memorabilia and Coins. Steve and I did a nice trade, and I was able to add some 49ers cards, Kittle, Purdy and McCaffrey, to the personal collection. Thanks again, and I am look forward to coming back.”
“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”
