Zarin has been around a while. It's number one for fabric shopping for home textiles in New York. I…read moreused to shop there on Sundays after eating at Katz and going through the market at Grand Street. It was ( and is?) a tradition highly recommended for those tourists who want a New York experience after they tire of the museums. Buy some fabric you love and figure out later what to make of it.

Very nice & helpful staff. And the most beautiful fabrics! Can't wait to go back…read more I would highly recommend for anyone looking to reupholster furniture or update their home furnishings. They even were so kind as to give us directions in going to another shop for sewing accessories. excellent customer service.

He was great and the store felt like how businesses were run back in the day. You could get exactly what you needed for a pretty good value AND you don't ever have to leave the neighborhood. Definitely will be back as they do reupholster work and I need my bedroom headboard replaced. Another cool fun fact about the store, they do the set design for my favorite show THE GILDED AGE!!! Go here!

I love this fabric shop!!! I come here very often…read more First, it's a short walking distance from my apartment, so that makes it super convenient. But I also love that the prices are great and so is the customer service! The owner is this sweet older man from Afghanistan who is friendly and likes to joke around. He almost always has what I'm looking for and if he doesn't, he's always ready to give me a recommendation on where else I can go find what I need. This is always appreciated!! Inside is a bit chaotic. There are bolts and bolts of fabrics EVERYWHERE! Can't seem to locate what you need? Just ask! The owner or his associate will likely know exactly where it is in their shop and they'll pull it out for you. You won't have to lift a finger, they'll grab the bolts for you! I truly love this place and will be a consistent customer for as long as I live here in Astoria!

I like the owner here, he's reasonable. I wouldn't necessarily trust that what material he says…read moresomething is, it is. But he's been around for decades, is known to the other neighborhood OGs and his employee is also very kind and helpful. Visually there is a lot but sometimes when you get down to it, it's often there isn't what you're looking for. Quality is hit or miss and barely any labels so if you're working on something important or are particular you'll likely want to go to Jackson Heights or midtown for something with a different vibe.

I'll probably come here for fabric again as my projects scale and grow. My last project for Victoria's Secret took way too long to come to fruition, this time I am focusing on men's and unisex options. They had a good selection of silk at nominal prices. Only the best for the emperor's clothes.

Great deals on fabrics, ribbons, threads and all sorts or sewing and knitting equipment and needs…read more As a new mother, I'm trying to be more green, and use the best most gentle products, especially for that delicate skin. So my mom took me here for me to buy the fabric of my homemade baby wipes. Plus, she's always telling me how much she likes Liz. They have a great amount of fabrics in all the materials you can think of. I chose to go with flannel. Raj (i think thats his name. Pony tail, speaks a bunch of languages) is incredibly helpful and so patient with the not so easy customers. He helped me figure out how much cloth and thread I'd need for the wipes. I ended up buying way more stuff than i needed but the patterns were so cute i couldn't help it. Their prices are reasonable, the customer service is great. And basically everything you'll need for an array of projects in one place. They have gained me as a returning customer for sure.

My wife has shopped at this store many times over the past 6 years since we moved here. She always…read morehas little projects she is working on, pillows or chairs or fixing a zipper on a jacket. Just in this past week, she shopped there around 3 times. So today we went there to choose a fabric to redo a chair. We looked at some things, then went across the street to another store to see some other choices of fabric, and decided on one in Liz Discount. We went back in and were pretty much verbally assaulted by one of the guys that works there. We didn't do anything to deserve this, he started complaining that we were in there 10 times (we were there for the second time today, and being respectful, and just looking at fabrics). He was yelling at us in front of other customers!! We did absolutely nothing to deserve this and needless to say, we will never go back to do any more business with this place. The whole experience was just shocking. What a horrible horrible man, what a horrible thing to do to your customer!

So glad I went in to check it out! Besides a variety of clothing, jewelry and assorted sundries, the bulk of Broadway Silk Store's shelves are filled with bolts of fabric (beyond silk) for making clothes, upholstery, etc.! Fantastic! Soon I'll be reupholstering some vintage family furniture, and I'll definitely come back here! The storekeeper, who's Broadway Silk Store's owner, was so friendly! Also, the cool ephemera on display was fun to look at. Glad there are stores still around like this in the city with such personal service!

I reached out to A.R.T. and was in communication with Francisco (the owner) to rent out space for…read morean art camp I was holding. Unfortunately, my experience working with him was unprofessional and frustrating. A few examples: I was told that to be included in A.R.T's August calendar, they would need a confirmation and deposit by August 5th. I paid the deposit of $200 on July 31st and submitted my poster along with the blurb by Aug 4th. However, I wasn't included in their newsletter. I had to follow up a couple times by email and phone to remind them to add me to their website. When I visited his store for the first time, he told me I could stop by the store any time I wanted, but when I did stop by, to ask about the lack of signups for my class, he cut me off mid-sentence, made me wait for 15 minutes, and then sent me home without a resolution. I ended up losing $200 on my deposit, which he claims was nonrefundable, despite his not saying so upfront. I would advise anyone considering partnering with A.R.T. to make sure all terms are in writing before making a payment.
