Lisa's is still my favorite greeting card store in the hood. It's not hard for me to find cute…read moreitems in the discount bin. It's also not hard for me to spend a lot on one of a kind keepsake items. I purchased a really cool motorcycle for my Yelp Friend Jim C. I still miss him especially during this time of year! If you live in my neighborhood, or visit, check out Lisa's. It's been a neighborhood favorite for many years!

The owner told us to f off and leave the store bc we wanted to feel some of the squishies they had…read more(btw the squishies r horrible) and when we left, she comes out and yells at us to leave the block for doing what she said (btw we left the store like she said). the squishies r so overpriced anyways and she is the worst owner ever. I only have this a 5 so everyone could see this, bur if I could I would give it a 0. I am never going these again

This is one of my favorite places to visit in Harlem! I became familiar a few years ago because my…read morefamily lived right around the corner. The owners are really cool and carefully curate their offerings. NiLu is one of the few places I venture out to visit alone because I enjoy taking my time checking out the products. They offer artworks, beautiful coffee table books, premium Harlem candles, puzzles, journals, board games, fragrances, greeting cards, and so much more that celebrate the culture. Stock is limited by design so if you find something you want, purchase immediately!!! I want the Harlem version of Monopoly but they're sold out every time I pop in. Service is always on point too.i encourage you to check them out. I often go in looking for gifts for others but leave with items for myself.

From the minute we walked in we were welcomed. Katrina gave us some recommendations for other…read moreexhibitions. Great prices & a lot of unique items to choose from. When in Harlem, you must stop here.

Usually a woman's intuition can be relied on--I had an off day…read more While Monica was extremely friendly and helpful in our phone conversations, I was entirely underwhelmed and surprised with the end result. While I know they are more creative than 1800-Flowers (I was excited to see what they came up with, honestly), the arrangement looked straight up bizarre...and sparse! Not what I had in mind.

OMG. Looking for a good florist? Run now!!!…read more I tried L'olivier Floral Atelier today after searching for a nearby florist and reading the review on Zagat (a 27?). What a joke. Over a hundred dollars for half dead arrangement that Forest Gump could have done better. I am a busy person, but this was so bad I feel it my duty to inform the World! Under no circumstance should you trust your important. They don't deserve even one star!!! I wish they had negative stars as a choice. It still would be too high!!!

B&BW is one of my favorite stores. They were having a good sale, so I ventured inside. I grabbed…read morewhat I needed and made my way to check out. At that point, I encountered one of the longest lines I've ever seen. They had all workers at each station, they were moving rapidly, but it was still a good wait. All the workers were extremely friendly here and I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here.

Who doesn't love BBW! Some locations are better than others. This one is a good one. I have ordered…read morethings from on line and have been able to pick up from this location with no wait. I have been able to make returns and exchanges with no issues, everyone is this location as always been friendly or helpful. They are always keep the store clean even on days well the sales are crazy. I would recommend this location. A thumb up and Happy Yelping!

Very well kept Botanica. Fully equipped for all spiritual needs. A large space compared to most…read moreBotanicas in the area. I have had some disappointments while in NYC lol. You can find all your Saints, Sages, Candles, Baths, Floor washes etc. Right here. I must note how CLEAN this place was when I visited. Babbbbyyyy I've seen some horror shows with others so this was a beautiful visit. As a spiritual place, it should always be cleanly and presentable. High vibrations. Anything else is completely unacceptable. They maintain their high vibrations well. The staff was very pleasant and actually quite joyful. They have good prices, nothing too over the top from what I saw. Whatever your reason for coming in, I'm sure you won't regret it. I enjoyed my experience and I'll be back again soon since others simply can not compare.

Consultations are 50 dollars and he will tell you everything you need to hear. Padrino wife is bilingual in case you need someone who speaks English only.

I came here on a week night for a consultation and although I had to wait a little longer than…read moreexpected, it was worth the wait. The consultation was $50 but when I had initially asked the price I could've sworn he said $15 which actually had me a little concerned because I wasn't sure a consultation worth $15 would be any good lol. The consult exceeded my expectations and was EVERY bit worth the price paid. I would return again in the future.

East Harlem is lucky to have this local Urban Garden Center for plants nearby, under the Metro…read moreNorth on Park Avenue. I'm not normally buying plants or plant-related products because the only success I've had in my apartment is one type of succulent (the Hobbit Jade Plant) that seems to thrive no matter what. That being said, I wanted to combine two separate plants into one pot on my window sill and needed the soil and a rectangular planter. Note - The only rectangular planters I saw were plastic, the soil was pricy compared to Home Depot, and an additional Hobbit Jade Plant was pricier there than what I've seen elsewhere. That being said, there may be other items competitive in price or not available elsewhere... plus (at least for me) it's convenient. Plus, it sells items like soil in smaller quantities, which may be convenient for people with small apartments. Recommend coming and checking Urban Garden Center out, including its chickens both in the hen house and roaming around free range!

Avoid this business!!!: UGC justifies bad behavior without apology. Customers are not respected,…read morefrom rude staff answering the phone with attitude, lack of communication regarding stated arrival time, to poor installation of plants that is not done with accepted standard practice of professional gardeners for the health of plants. Also, the plants that cost me a couple of thousand dollars had many broken branches because the workers rushed to install them. They also want payment up front before any delivery/installation/scheduling. It was a horrible and stressful experience. Informing the owner of my experience resulted only in his making excuses for USG's bad actions with no apology whatsoever. ***And because I posted my review, the owner Dimitri vindictively told me that he would no longer stand behind the plants or the work done to make things right. He didn't like my honest review. Prior to my review, he was willing to make right his failures, if needed. It is disappointing that UGC is unable to acknowledge its mistakes or shortcomings, and that they do not know how to interact with customers.
