Just took my nephew visiting from CA to load up on fishing gear for his time in NYC. The staff were so knowledgeable, helpful and kind. They absolutely made his day and trip. He's already proudly rocking his new Bernie's T-shirt and hat that they gave him! Thanks Bernie's!

Great store for a guy that's new to fishing and wants to try it or a professional who wants to upgrade his gear!

One of the last card shops still alive in Brooklyn! They do a good job these days of selling boxes…read moreand packs at fair market value. They mostly compare prices on eBay and go from there, which is better than the markups they used to have. They could get you anything you want for a price, but mostly have boxes of the 4 major sports from the past few years. They also have a nice selection of bobbleheads and autographed memorabilia, especially of local heroes from the past. I love making an occasional visit to the Hot Corner to hold on to that last drop of youth that was obsessed with collecting cards. I don't see the owner Matt there too often these days, but the kids who he has working there seem capable ans fair so it really doesn't matter. Bring cash and they won't charge tax...

I repeatedly messaged them asking to look at my message and they said they would "hook me up". Apparently they looked at my message 3 weeks later and they decided to block me because they knew they make a mistake and didn't want to own up. Actually thinking about it this whole store is trying to rip you off. I buy "mystery packs" from them and they put on "good card" on top and the rest are duplicates or garbage. Maybe donate them to a school or a children's hospital. Do better

This is one of the small-format Targets that have been popping up all over NYC, so selection is…read moremore limited. I don't really browse at these smaller stores, but instead check the inventory online first and then go there to get specific things, which helps manage expectations. We came here because, despite the smaller size, they were the only one in South Brooklyn that had all of the school supplies we were looking for. We were able to order almost everything online in advance, and order pickup was straightforward. For the one item that was too limited in inventory to be available for pickup, I was never able to find it in the store, and searching for it was a bit frustrating, which is how I usually feel just "shopping" at the small-format stores (and why I stopped). The store is two floors with entrances on both 13th and 14th. No parking though, and not an easy area to find street parking. Employees were fine, even if not the most friendly. Not a lot of mask wearing here, unlike some other stores. I think if we return here, it will just be for order pickup.

This Target location is by far the worst! They have poor customer service and pick up is always a…read morenightmare! The one slim cashier who wears glasses and Hispanic boy with stink breath annoys me. They never want to do pick up properly. There was no one at pick up and I had to scream for someone to help me after waiting for 15 minutes while the cashiers looked at me. In fact I did pick up 2 days ago and the little girl had the nerve to tell me to come over to her so she can scan my bar code and then proceeds to throw my groceries in my cart including throwing my eggs! Little girl you're lucky my patience is top tier. Corporate will hear about this! I've had enough of letting all these passive aggressive behaviors slide! I will not tolerate being treated like a random customer and not a valued one of over 5 years of shopping here. Do your job or leave if you don't like it!

I was on Staten Island assembling my bike which I had flown with from San Francisco for the Empire…read moreState Ride to end cancer. 560 miles to Niagara Falls. Panic insured as I realized I had left my rear axle in the Golden State!! It's 4:30 on Saturday when Keith gets a call from his buddy Vinnie at Bennet's Bicycle's on Staten Island asking if he has the non-standard axle I needed. At 6:30, Keith pulled up to Wagner College in Staten Island and delivered it to me in person. Unbelievable customer service and kindness. What I failed to mention to Keith is that I frequented Roy's Bikes while I was growing up in Brooklyn- many years ago!! Thanks Keith!!!

I've been going to this shop on and off for years and recently decided to give it another shot,…read morehoping things had improved. Unfortunately, the experience has been consistently disappointing. While a few staff members have been friendly, there's been a recurring pattern of dismissive and somewhat condescending behavior across multiple visits. Questions and concerns often felt brushed off, and explanations of services -- like what a "free tune-up" actually includes -- were vague or incomplete. There were also several instances where the work itself didn't inspire confidence. A computer mount was left spinning despite being told it was secure, and on another visit, a mechanic refused to use carbon paste on a mount, which didn't feel appropriate for the component involved. What's most concerning is that this wasn't a one-off experience -- it's been a pattern over time. When communication and attention to detail are lacking, it starts to impact both safety and trust, especially on longer rides. Update (Jan 2026): I later found out that a tubeless setup I paid for had barely any sealant in the tires, which explains why a flat wouldn't seal. Another shop had to fix it. At this point, I've decided to take my business elsewhere. I'd recommend double-checking any work before leaving.
