I have been buying the Quo Vadis Biweekly Planner refill (pocket size) from Stevdan Stationers for more than 20 years now. This is not a very common vertical week-per-page pocket format but I like it because once you open the planner, one week is entirely on one page and the following week on the opposite page. Great if you have a schedule that happens every other week. I can look ahead, even a year ahead if you have next year's planner, and know exactly which week your event takes place without counting weeks on a yearly calendar. There is ample space to write notes. What is amazing about this store is that if the refill is out of stock but they have the planner and cover (the whole set--biweek planner, address/memos insert, and cover)), they will take the biweek planner out of the set and sell it to you for the price of the refill! Love this place! read more

This store has the best prices compared to other stationary stores. As a pen collector his prices are sometimes $5-7 cheaper than other places. Good service too. read more

A good old fashioned stationary store with everything you need. I like shopping here because I support small local businesses like this! Nice friendly service and great prices too! read more

The best stationary store in the city. Great selection of pens, mechanical pencils, and notebooks. Customer service is great.

I run one of the local non-for-profits (Friends of Bleecker Playground). Stevdan has been producing our banners and marketing material for years now. They are very professional, courteous, and extremely helpful. For us, there is no other place that we would consider using. Available for references/questions if necessary. Swing by Bleecker Playground (Bleecker Street and Hudson Street) in the West Village to see their banners on our fences. read more

Stationery stores for practical use as journals, pens, variety of envelope sizes, and daily planners are, sadly, relic in the digital age conquering progress. However, Stevdan Stationers is one of the few old fashion, independently mom and pop owned stores I have happily encountered and surviving in the industry. The facade of this store has the old fashioned manual rolled-up store gates and the interior is very aged with products that appear slow sellers or sitting on the shelf for years unsold. There is a plethora of pens, markers for the arts and crafts enthusiast. I was in dire need of Parker and Cross ballpoint pen refills in medium point. Parker and Cross are long-time renown brand names in the pen industry, but it is becoming more difficult to locate in the 21st century digital age of progress. I can never write in fine point pens. I am a poet, writer and Yelper as pen and paper is the ultimate tool, as camera is the ultimate tool for a photographer, brush is the tool for a painter, and piano is the ultimate tool for a pianist. Price is average as expected. The owner appears very stolid and melancholy without any greeting or pleasantries exchanged upon my entrance. Official business name is "New York Stationery Inc." but dba Stevdan Stationers. read more

Great service all around, every time. Pleasant, courteous, knowledgeable staff, always willing to go the extra mile. Great selection, great prices and they can order anything you want. I wouldn't go anywhere else in New York for stationery and related supplies. read more

I needed new printed stationery. I knew this place was primo but i guess there are new owners. I was passed off to a younger clerk who had no idea about the process or the quality of paper or anything. It was quite frustrating and I realized this was no longer the place to spend hundreds of dollars on new stationery etc. I will say that they do have a nice not great pen selection. Has quality died in NYC. read more

I have to start by saying that Stevdan is where my pen fetish began. I never knew it could be possible to actually enjoy writing more solely based on the comfort of how a writing apparatus felt in your hand. I know some of the pens can be expensive, but once your hooked, your hooked. Thank you Stevdan for given me an addiction that I can live with. People are always friendly as well. I live in San Diego CA now and now I have to ask my good friend to stop by there and grab me some pens and refills....lots and lots of refills. read more

Stevdan Stationers - Best lil pen ever made, it inspires me to want to write. - Office Equipment Near Me - New York, New York

The best in the area. Polite and good supplies.

This is one of the last small business bastions in the neighborhood. Anyone who wants to support the little guy should choose to shop here. It's a classic stationery store with a range Of notebooks, pens, cards, wrapping paper, jigsaw puzzles, some toys...items hard to find in one place anymore. I've been going here for years and treat it as an old friend, and first choice when in need of any stationery items. read more

We were walking by this store three days ago and I noticed a "sale" sign in the window. They're moving across the street, hence the sale. It was fun looking at everything (lots of neat stuff crammed into a small space). They also have a lovely selection of cards, lots of nice journals & art supplies, and some beautiful pens. The two men working there (owners-?) were pleasant. read more

I love Stevdan and am so grateful they are a small business that continues to survive the Amazon empire. The owners are really great, and I travel from Harlem to shop there. They have a wonderful selection of pens and art supplies, and they're the only stationary store that has refills for my daily planner. I love and feel great about supporting them. read more

I needed some blank 5x8 blue index cards and this was the only place in the city that had them! I called them up and they were very knowledgable of their stock. They also have a great selection of pens and probably anything you would need office supplies-wise. read more

Printing - Let me tell you about personal service - something you WILL NOT GET from Staples or any big-brand place. First off, my organization has been using Stevdan for printing oversized posters for quite some time. We're very satisfied with the quality, very fast service, and very fair prices. But then, last night, because I was overtired, I ordered duplicates of several posters. Stevdan easily could have printed all the orders, and fairly demanded that I pay for everything I ordered. But Aziz called me up and alerted me that I may have ordered more than I needed. He took quite a bit of time and trouble to help me untangle MY mess, so I would get ONLY what I needed. I am super grateful and although I was already a loyal customer, now I am even more so. STEVDAN IS THE BEST! THANK YOU! read more

This store is near my surgeon's office as I still need to go for check ups every 6 months. There are so few stores left in the city that I can buy unique greeting cards from that the few left really stand out. When I go to the surgeons office I stock up on cards here of all kinds. They have outstanding greeting cards. They are expensive but they are difficult to find anywhere else. The store is well stocked with just about every stationary supply imaginable! read more

They have a good selection of home office items and wrapping supplies but I got overcharged for KN95 masks. I was charged $80 for 50 masks! And the attendant asked me to Venmo instead of pay upfront because he said the mask sales were separate. My bad for not thinking something was off when he was asking me to Venmo instead of paying upfront! read more

Yello. In the store the packed merchants are nice. I happened to run into a box of blackwings and one of the japanese package pen thingy that I haven't seen nowhere. Except for Mitsuwa in NJ or Taiyo or bunch of Stores in Flushing. However they overcharge pretty much all their fountain pens behind the counter. Especially those out of manufacturing -- rocket high. I ran into one of their old Parker. They changed more than twice as much it was sold on Amazon. Tbh their storage and display of their fountain pens were real messy. Make you wonder where they got inventory from. If you don't know like an expert in industry AND don't know how to do a mean haggle ~~ don't even bother. read more

I love this store! They have a huge selection of pens, in every price range, and a nice selection of agendas. I always find exactly what I'm looking for here. The shop moved from across the street and it is far more organized now! Very pleasant, and helpful staff. I always prefer shopping in a mom and pop establishment to support my neighborhood shops. Stevdan is a West Village neighborhood staple and I'm glad they survived the city shutdown ... read more

Update: The Filofax Belgravia they sold me for $90 is counterfeit, fake and not an authentic Filofax The interior is supposed to be leather as specified by Filofax. This one is clearly synthetic which accounts for the peeling of the interior that began within a month and has worsened over the year to the point that entire sections have peeled off. Buyer beware. read more

Great village stationary store, appreciate the "renovation" since they moved across the street. Got everything you may want from pens (buy in bulk and get a discount), odd-size envelopes, even Jenga! read more

The markup on certain items is outrageous. Do yourself a favor and walk your ass to the nearest Staples. I love supporting mom and pop stores, but charging me $40 for a paper and envelope set that would cost $16 elsewhere because I didn't know any better (how often do most people by stationery any more?) is ridiculous. Avoid at all costs. read more

I always liked this store but today I walked in and asked for hand sanitizer - usually about $5 - they were selling it for $25. I think that is illegal. Price gouging. I normally like to support small local business but not here again. read more

This store is a neighborhood gem. Excellent notebooks, pens, and planners. Great toys for kids as well.Even though we've moved from the neighborhood, we make the trip to the shop to get all our stationary supplies. Also, if they don't have what you're looking for they can order it. read more

I love this place. If you like walking around stationery stores, flipping through blank notebooks, buying assorted single pens, you will dig it too. :) read more

What kind of stationary store sells PPE? The kind that rips people off. They have a hand written sign in their window saying they have N95 mask and hand sanitizer. I go in and they are charging $15 for one N95 mask and Lysol for $20 and the same for a small one ounce bottle of Purell. They are price gouging everyone in the neighborhood, while people are dying. They do not care about you or the area, they just want your money. A stationary store is not considered an essential business and they are open to rip you off. I hope they get shut down. read more

THE BEST PEN SHOP IN NYC. It's like candy... Fabulous selection of writing papers and supplies, as well. Really nice owners, too. You guys are the best! read more

They have a lot of supplies here. Though the prices are a bit up there. $6.99 for a planner the size of a check book. I don't think so. I can go to Chinatown and get one for about $3. This is one of the only art supply stores in the area. So this maybe the reason for high prices. The pens are a good price. So if you need a specific pen. They have a huge read more

This is the LAST real stationer store in our neighborhood! SHOP from these guys...they have everything for the office, and are competitively priced for HP ink too! read more

I like the selection of pens and that they have an actual pad of paper out for your to try them. On the whole, they're a bit more expensive than Staples, but it really is a better selection and a more educated buy. Besides, I'm a teacher, and being able to write "100" with a circle around it in red pen before I buy it...just to see how it feels....really makes me happy :-) read more

This place has a pretty impressive selection of supplies, especially notebooks (Clairefontaine, etc.) but their customer service bites. I bought a Lamy Safari fountain pen ($35), inked it, decided I didn't like it. They said I couldn't return it because no one would want to buy a pen that had been inked, which is nonsense. Fountain Pen Hospital takes returns after cleaning. (Whoops, maybe should have cleaned this one!) read more

Amazing stationary store - tons of items to chose from that's not available at your typical place. Staff was very helpful as well. It was a bit pricey though. read more

This little store is jam packed with tons of fun finds and useful things. All the pens and paper needs that you could ever want, and all the supplies needed for any kind of arts and crafts. The staff here is not pushy and very attentive when you do ask for something. For this visit I needed a dry erase marker and was delighted to find a plethora of options. A little on the pricey side, but worth it. Convenient location, clean and neat store, and a huge selection made for a very happy visit! read more

Save yourself the frustration! If you sell art supplies, at least KNOW what you're talking about and don't insult a customer's intelligence! Bought 3 "high end" color pencils there at about $2 each, along with a sharpener -all adding up to about $10 (pretty steep for a fee pencils and single manual wood pencil sharpener). Turns out the pencils suck big-time. I go back and show the 2 guys there how the tip falls right out when attempting to sharpen. These are WAY too expensive for me to waste half of it on one sharpening, I tell them (color pencils are known to last an artist yrs, and I'm just a hobbyist). "Oh, you're using the wrong sharpener." "Ok, why didn't you say something when I bought 3 of them along with the sharpener?" Whatever. I'll bite. "Ok, show me the property sharpener to use." One of them uses a metal one and sharpened it down halfway. "See? It's perfect." I said, "sure, keep going until you actually have a sharp point to the tip." "Oh these are color pencils, you shouldn't go down that far." Really!? Now he's just insulting me. After seeing my expression, he goes further. Tip breaks off. "Hahaha, there's nothing I can do about that" -still laughing. "Um, sure you can. Take it all and give me back my money." Oh course that didn't happen. So folks, if you're even a hobbyist or doing for your child, DO NOT BOTHER GOING HERE! In short, they're a bunch of thieves. Save your money and peace of mind by just walking up to Blick Art Supply 2 blocks away, located on 13 street, just off of University Place. Lesson learned. read more

I stop in here every time I pass. They have a great selection of good-quality notebooks (I've been buying my Miquelrius books there for awhile) and pens, and feel good about supporting a long-standing local business. I wish they had more in the way of stationery -- simple and classic packages or loose sheets and envelopes -- but I guess the demand isn't there much anymore. read more

The shop is well stocked and the customer service is top notch. The prices are a bit high but this is New York. :)

I love fountain pens and good French notebooks, and they have a very good selection. The service is great, too, just what you hope for in a local store. Actually, I come here from far away, visit my sister around the corner, and drop by Stevdan to restock! read more

Always polite. Always courteous. And individually owned. I would recommend them without question.

My favorite stationery store packed with high quality merchandise in every nook and corner. There aren't enough of these anymore. They have beautiful cards, tempting art supplies, a great variety of journals and diaries, and a wonderful pen selection, among many other things. We should support local small businesses like these -- A real Village tradition. read more
