So helpful and fast!!! I am making a few proposal gifts for my bridesmaids and needed some acrylic…read moresheets to fit into a box. I originally went to another acrylic store nearby but they weren't helpful at all and was quite pricey - they quoted me $24 for one sheet. I found this place on yelp and walked over - I told the guy what I needed and that I didn't want to spend too much on it since it's only something purely decorative for the box. He was so much more helpful - he quoted the exact same sheet for $22, I told him it's still more than what I would want to pay - he suggested other types of acrylic sheets that's a lot more affordable for me to choose from - I ended up picking one for $15, and he gave me a discount ($13 each) for buying 5 pieces. He got it cut in the exact size I needed in less than 10m. High recommend. Friendly, helpful, and honest staff.

I'm personally happy not to have to walk to Brooklyn or train into the city to get art supplies. Right now I'm mostly buying pencils/pens/markers and the owner stocks a great selection of these as well. The owner will order anything that you need if they don't have it in the shop, and I appreciate the range of price points - there are fancy gift sets and cheaper items if you are just looking for something small. Excited to go back for my holiday shopping soon.

The neighborhood used to have so many card/gift stores, but this is the only one left standing. The variety of things you'll find here, especially items during the holidays, is massive and unique! Right after Halloween, I got a Chucky plush doll for $17. The kind and helpful older gentleman behind the cash register was extremely helpful and was looking around the store for other Childs Play themed items for me, even though I didn't ask! Lots of collectibles, Hallmark cards, candy, and just about everything else. There are 2 other people there helping, and they were nice enough. If you use your card, there will be a fee, so bring cash if you want to avoid that. Otherwise, come here and have a great time browsing!

A broad range of Melissa & Doug items make for solid children's gifts on the classy side. (Recently, I bought a spin art set for a niece that reminded me of my favorite Times Square attraction when it was exciting, forbidden and a little dangerous. I wish I could see her parents' faces when she squirts paint on a spinning palette in the middle of their living room.) But the store also carries a line of kitschy magic items and gag gifts (think: fart-flavored chewing gum) that will amuse the kid in all of us. Their card selection is also extensive and seems to have much more personality than the average chain retailer or drugstore. By far, the coolest things I saw in the last couple of visits were the real, live, tiny frogs for sale on the front counter. Maybe the size of a grape, these amphibians were lively, cute and fascinating to watch. If our kids were older and were past the point where they might consider them a tasty snack, I would've bought them right away ... but I'm not sure if the frogs would be for me, or for them. Don't buy your cards or last-minute gifts anywhere else! This place is a treasure.

It was a time, we talked about how our summers went. I had initially planned to apply to work there before I accepted my summer camp job. They sold me on an 11x14 Blick spiral drawing pad, and a 9-pack of oil paints. I told them that it was for my upcoming painting class, which I was excited to take, as I had painted a lot with acrylic paint over the summer to relieve stress. It was a great outlet, as I was stressed about the summer camp job I decided to take before applying to Blick. It wasn't very well-run, so the camp itself was difficult to navigate as an employee. It was an art camp, so we used a lot of paint and other digital art materials while working. With this art experience over the summer, it was great to get back into a conversation about it. The only major problem was that the register was taking a long time to load after I had already paid, so I couldn't leave until it went all the way through. I understood though, as it reminded me of the times that the tech at my summer job wasn't working no matter what we tried. Nearly every day there were new issues we would run into. My coworkers and I would have to troubleshoot new solutions to see what would work. Like the workers at Blick, though, we would make it work. Eventually, I paid, and was able to leave. Overall, I definitely would return to this Blick location. The service was good, and I am happy with my purchases!
