I still reach for the old family favorites when I need something. Johnson & Johnson's brands include familiar household names of medications and first aid supplies. Among its products are the Band-Aid Brand bandages the only ones I use. Tylenol medications (I stopped using), Johnson's Baby products (Baby Powder being discontinued), Neutrogena skin and beauty products (definitely a favorite), Clean & Clear facial wash and Acuvue contact lenses. I was definitely sorry to see my baby powder go. It's refreshing on my body in the Summer and most important is the familiar smell. The Johnson's with Corn Starch doesn't have the talc smell.

You've arrived at 74th St/Roosevelt Ave in Jackson Heights. You walk a few blocks up Roosevelt Ave…read more to 80th St. and make a right. You'll see them. Racks of books on sale outside and a small hole the in wall with the name of the business: Libreria Barco de Papel, which means "The Paper Boat Bookstore" Behold the last brick and mortar true Spanish Bookstore in New York City. A few years into the 21st century, old business models started to conspicuously disappear from common life. The world hardly noticed, me included, but in the blink of 2,000 days, I now get my indie movie fix from my streaming device at home, and having picked up Kurosawa's "Seven Samurais" from the Blockbuster at 9th St. and Broadway now seems like a distant memory. It was 2006. So it was stopping by Lectorum (the famed Spanish Bookstore in West 14th St.) on a perfect summer afternoon after work all those years ago. Back "then", places like Coliseum Books, the Gotham Mart or Lectorum seemed unmovable institutions that represented the very heart and core of the most cosmopolitan city in the world. It took only a few years more for all of them to be gone forever. In the winter of 2006, on a snowy night, me and my ex GF were taking a shortcut to her apt. in Woodside when I saw Libreria Barco de Papel for the first time. It was Sunday, about 9:00pm and its isolated and melancholic location, not to mention the fact that it was open, caught my eye, aroused my curiosity and commanded my motion. I entered and browsed the selection of books in awe. That night, Libreria Barco de Papel gave me Alfonso Reyes, without knowing that I was walking away with the writer who Borges himself called his master. I also picked my first Valle-Inclan and Zorrilla. I never saw or found Libreria Barco de Papel again. Six years later, while on a haze of nostalgia remembering those summer days gone by, I remembered the unassuming Spanish bookstore in Elmhurst and frantically tried to search for it on the Internet with no success. It dawned on me then that with Lectorum gone, perhaps the last all-Spanish bookstore in New York had closed its doors, and that alarmed me. Here was displayed either one of two things; the NYC Spanish readership had all switched to Kindle, or the number of Spanish readers had dramatically decreased from one generation to the next despite the hike of Latin peoples demographic growth. Either way, a loss of bookstores now is a blow to culture, although I'm sure that in a 100 years this process will appear to readers of history as unavoidable. Everything human-made is just like Libreria Barco de Papel ominously heralds in its chosen name: a paper boat at sea destined to be dissolved by the oceans of time. But then, as I was about to give up my googling, a stay of execution to old ways came in the form of a directory entry on a random internet site. There was this Spanish bookstore tucked away on 80th St in Elmhurst. I asked for a day off, my birthday, and I walked inside and rejoiced in deep emotion. This was the one. Nothing had changed. The near-mint condition tomes of the Coleccion Austral Classics from the 1960's were there. The Catedra Edition ones printed in Madrid in the 90's with which I grew up with were also there, alongside the more modern Alfaguara ones. I happily shelled $70.00 USD as my self-gift and I have paid my King's Fifth to the bookstore often since then. Ortega & Gasset, Benito Perez Galdos, Baltasar Gracian, Juan Leon Mera; nothing can replace the feeling of browsing in silence and barely touching with your fingertips the spines of books that contain untold wisdom, pain, thoughts that elevate our often farcical flesh into anything but. The smell of old pages, the selection process which goes both ways, because books mysteriously select you just as you select them. Libreria has since gone to Facebook, and every day it selects a Spanish poem or a piece of trivia from an author I didn't knew and it teaches me something. It also holds symposiums and supports poetry and readings in the community. It has since gained adepts and hopefully, customers. And while yes, I do have a Kindle (for books long out of print), and yes, there are 2 more Spanish bookstores in New York I've found since; one in Spanish Harlem and one in Inwood; both of the "New Age" Kind, while Libreria Barco de Papel is indeed, the last true brick and mortar Spanish Bookstore in New York City. And hence I'll stand by it for as long as I'm a New Yorker. And nothing could be more apt, more rewarding, than to be its first reviewer.

It has a good selection of affordable children's books, but many are in the back storage space so you have to be prepared to dig around.

Tiny, barely enough room for two people to walk through, and the walls are lined to the ceiling with smoking paraphernalia. You can find some good stuff here--shisha, bidis, papers, vaporizers, and obviously a large selection of cigarettes and other tobacco things. The owner was kind and helpful when I came in and helped me sift through all the products. The only problem was the disorganization; a lot of stuff was in the wrong place or on the floor or just messed up on the shelves which made it a little difficult to browse. Other than that, it's a pretty cool little place.

For goodness sake, he wrote the book on antiquities and it is available for sale in his gallery. Randall had specific thoughts and ideas about most of the individual pieces I looked at. He spoke about the individual bowls and serving pieces and military hardware, etc. with the experience of a master researcher (which he is, of course). And, when he did not know something, he told me that. But not only that - he gave me theories about what it could have been, or where it might have come from, or what it really had been used for. To top it all off, he is a very nice person with a friendly demeanor. We talked for a long time and I was riveted! Shopping for Greek antiquities can be intimidating because I know no more than it is a part of my culture and it is my current hobby. But Randall made it fun. I was not intimidated by him or his vast array of knowledge because he made me his partner in research. If you have a need for any antiquity, do not hesitate to visit Hixenbaugh Ancient Art. I highly recommend it!

I was embarrassed (I'm sure I'd walked that block hundreds of times - how could I not have noticed it and visited at least once?), but then I learned that it only moved to this location on Cooper Square in 2024 after it closed its previous location and renovated this space. Whew. That being said, the Grey isn't large (really just one large room for a single exhibition). But - wow - the exhibition we saw (that ended on March 1) was incredible. "Make Way for Berthe Weill: Art Dealer of the Parisian Avant-Garde" surveyed the career of the "first woman modern art dealer," whom I had never heard of before! Berthe Weill purchased works by many modern artists very early in their careers (Picasso, Matisse, Modigliani), and the exhibition included 110 works, many of which were shown at her gallery in Paris before WWII. This exhibition was fascinating and included some incredible works. I also learned so much about her and her gallery, including what happened to her and the gallery during the War. The exhibition is next on its way to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and then off to Paris's Musée de l'Orangerie. So this really was a big deal of an exhibition. The museum is free to visit but they do suggest a donation as you enter. Other than a coat rack, some lockers for bags, bathrooms, and small area selling exhibition catalogues and other books, the Grey is really quite small. But this exhibition really packed a punch. I'll definitely keep my eye out for future exhibits to catch at the Grey.
