I pass this place all the time never thought I would have a reason to go in until now.
My best friend turned 30 & her over the top mom wanted a giant picture frame for her birthday.
Conversation went something like this:
Mom: Hey, do you know where I can find something like this? *sends picture* I know I'm off work, but I'm not that creative.
Me: Lol, there's a place up the block that does stuff like that.
(Of course I shortened the conversation for Yelp.)
So, I went up the block to inquire about this picture frame.
First I went into Unforgettable Events, next door but since it wasn't a standard Instagram picture frame, she sent me next door to Big Apple Props to ask for her husband Joe.
Joe was working on something, so he sent me over to his son, Nick.
I showed him the picture that mom sent me & we went off of that. Switched the colors around, added a hashtag, sent it to mom for her approval, & we were good to go.
Went back the next week to have it printed got the frame in under 30 minutes.
You might be a little intimidated when you walk in because you'll see a lot of machinery & a lot of styrofoam. You might see people putting together a display for a party that day. It's very interesting to watch. read more
