My guess is the sales did not offset the high rents. It is likely that this Queens location might come under a similar pressure. It is a large store, well-stocked and clean. The service is friendly but I find their knowledge of the inventory is lacking. Their collection of books, especially the Amar Chitra Katha comic books that I was raised on, is quite unique. Unlike with a grocery store, this is an episodic business and customers visit the store infrequently. But if I am in the market for Indian merchandise, I will be sure to check out Butala. An excellent resource for New Yorkers, although I realize the Manhattan location was too good to be sustainable.

I didn't check out the other aisles. My kid walked in & out but I thought it was worth checking out. The guy is very kind, and assists the best he can as he also mans the register. You might have to look for sizes yourself but it's not that difficult. If u need something and can't locate it, just ask. I mean he has the best prices for New York souvenirs. I bought pencils, pens, hats, shirts, hoodies, mugs, keychains, stickers, tote bags. I suggest taking a Lyft 2 get there.

They threaten you if you complain ! Magdalena the owner will threaten police for any problem…read moreapparently. Buyer BEWARE These people lie to your face and in their responses and the service in this place is just plain terrible then if you complain they want to involve police just like any other discriminatory party. Then they edit their comments to erase their mention of cops it's just ridiculous Their shirts are overpriced for their cheap fabric and the selection is no better than anywhere else Be careful if you're a POC (other than Asian) or LGBT cause they really don't seem comfortable and will watch you like a hawk. The workers don't even know how to tell if a bill is real or not they accuse you of it being fake tho just to decline you If you need souvenirs from Brooklyn go elsewhere Support the botanical garden or museum but this place is not the place to go if you're looking for good service, a good selection, or value for your hard earned dollars. You can walk them through the checks on it and they still don't believe you they are clearly off I haven't used any defamatory language or disrespect. I walked her through the checks, showed her the real bill and then she agreed it was indeed fake. Before I had decided her disrespect was not tolerable. The shop was acting in a way that is disrespectful and the staff needs training on what a bill looks like. Further who would counterfeit a 10$ bill ? No one that's who. This place is just trying to cover its tracks after being caught being rude. Now they're threatening to involve police for a real bill these people have nothing better to do than to discriminate indiscriminately. I've posted the exact bill. As I said before, I showed them each parameter of the bill and now they're saying I'm false. They're lying. They're now threatening me. Yes I took the bill after I showed her it was fake and decided I didn't want the magnet and pin for less than 10$. The video footage will show my taking it from her hand in my frustration, saying this was incredibly rude, and walking out. There was nothing sketchy on my end at all They saw my bill and decided it was fake. This business now threatens police action when they're the ones in the wrong. Magdalena should be ashamed of herself for this ridiculousness. Let's involve the police if you want ! They'll have the exact bill the review in the photos. These people are deranged and liars. Avoid them! Send the security footage ! It shows how I walked you through how the bill was real before you accepted it ! The only reason I walked out with my REAL bill is because you accused me of something you can't even verify !

I was on the fence after mixed reviews, and while some finds felt genuinely unique, others seemed a little overpriced. It's located under the Manhattan Bridge at 80 Pearl St. and has a mix of vintage clothing, jewelry, antiques, collectibles, art, records, and handmade goods. The vintage point-and-shoot camera table was the highlight for my teen and apparently a ton of twenty-somethings are drawn to those Canon ELPHs and PowerShots, Nikon Coolpix, Sony Cyber-shots, and Fujifilm FinePix cameras. Those cameras are having a serious comeback, thanks to their nostalgic early-2000s look of soft, grainy, flash-heavy photos that somehow feel cooler than anything your way more modern phone takes. The crowd surrounding the table never died down. My only regret is arriving midday so consider going earlier in the morning to browse without the shoulder-to-shoulder chaos. Open Saturdays & Sundays, 10 AM-5 PM. From Manhattan, the F to York St. or A/C to High St. My tip: Make it part of a DUMBO day, not the main event. Even if you leave empty-handed, you've still got bridge & waterfront views, Time Out Market, and plenty to explore. That was our plan, and it worked out perfectly.
