Very reasonably priced and better to shop an indie bookshop than a chain. Everyone here is so pleasant and if they don't have a book you are looking for, they will order it for you. Such a welcoming space and they even do different events.

Right as you walk in, there's a cozy café tucked to the left with some fun seasonal drinks. Since it was April (now May as I'm writing this), they had a spring menu. I got the Peep Mallow Latte (so good!). I love Peeps, so the moment I saw it on the board, I ditched my lemonade plans without hesitation. The store also had quirky bookmarks, a few signed copies of books (always a cool touch), and a discount section full of hidden gems. We didn't end up buying anything this time but it was still such a lovely place to wander and frolic through.

Tucked away in Bank Alley, Black Citizens Brigade is a place where it is a truly curated vintage…read moreexperience. The clothing items are carefully compiled by the owner, Cjala. She knows the history and fashion origin of them all. They are primarily structured pieces from the 60s, 70s, and 80s, all of excellent quality and construction, a testament to Cjala's eye. If you're interested in some guidance Cjara will direct you to things which might be within your comfort zone but also comfortably out of it if you're willing. There are always inspiring outfits in the window displays, showcasing standout pieces and unexpected and wonderfully layered "basics". I feel the prices are very good here, a reasonable ask for good garments. Aside from clothing there are books and records, all steeped in black history and the intersections it meets. With the music playing, the books on offer, and the clothing at hand it's an immersive experience that we're fortunate to have in Syracuse. Car parking - this shop is in an alley, y'all. Don't block it. Warren St usually has good spots and there's a parking garage right nearby on Washington. There are bike racks around the corner on Fayette St to lock to.

We stopped by the bookstore before heading back to LA to buy some Syracuse gear after my daughter's…read moregraduation. My lady bug had a $50 gift card that clearly stated it never expires. Unfortunately, when we got to the cashier, we were told the gift card could no longer be used because the store is now under different ownership. The cashier, who also happened to be the manager, was unwilling to help resolve the situation. She offered a 10% discount, which was not helpful since we already had a coupon. What was most disappointing was being told to contact the gift card company and "use the new card next time." My daughter just graduated and we are returning to Los Angeles -- when exactly would "next time" be? This experience left a very negative impression during what should have been a special graduation weekend memory. I would appreciate if someone from management or customer service could contact me regarding this issue.

They are also pretty no-nonsense as in you are not going to find their walls filled with new comics and those 1:100 variants, but you will find boxes and boxes of back issues.

The owner is extremely knowledgeable and can answer almost anything you have a question for.

This is easily the best selection of pre 2000s comics in the CNY area, but if you want post 2000s books, he has those too. A must stop for comic collectors passing through CNY.
