There is something adorable about a shop that specializes in incongruous antiques such as vintage smoking items, lighters, and ashtrays as well as vintage games and candy.Named after the owner's dog this little shop is mighty.You may not realize what you need from this shop but if not a Dunhill lighter perhaps the Mad Magazine board game? Perhaps just a snack of some vintage candy and a Bazooka gum-flavored soda.You won’t know until less you go. So just walk in, this shop doesn’t disappoint

Just absolutely amazing. The owners are beyond enthusiastic and so knowledgeable about every single piece in their shop! The dog Biggie is a sweetheart and always hangs at the store. They have tables outside for anyone in the community and even have free board games for people!

By far the most well curated collection of vintage antiques in the city! Every time i step into the store I am transported to a time where people took great pride in their craft and when things were built to last. The owners have done a great job preserving and honoring the past, and always look forward to seeing new items being added to the collection.Aside from the amazing curios, Biggies Bodega owners Sammy, Derek and Biggie, will warmly greet you with love and passion. Just from talking to them I can tell they truly love and care about the community.Their passion is extremely infectious!

Incredibly kind owners! This is a place built on their passion and it shows in their kind and courteous interactions with their customers. I’ve been in quite a few times and always have a great time! If you’re in Dimes Square, this is a must stop.P.S. If you’re lucky enough to meet biggie himself, make sure to give him a proper hello!

I live near Biggie's Bodega and I pop in at least once a week. Yes, they have cool retro candy, magazines, and sodas. But the real gems are their collection of vintage smoking memorabilia and the owners themselves. For the record, I'm not a smoker, but Sammie and Derek never fail to amaze me with some vintage object. They're passionate about their collection and incredibly knowledgeable about each item.When a dear friend visited the neighborhood, I took her to Biggie's before I took her to lunch. She, too, fell in love with the store's charm.Sammie and Derek are genuinely happy to visit with neighbors when they drop by, even if it's just for a chat or to tell Biggie the pit bull what a good boy he is.
