Literally, half the store is children's books, it's just a matter of time til this new policy backfires spectacularly and unhygienically. Who does that? Who sees a little kid desperate to use the bathroom and tells them to go across the street to some cafe? Who treats another human being that way? And I bought two books anyway, because you have to support independent bookstores if you want to keep them, even if they treat you like human garbage.

I was trying to find a new Sodastream cartridge for my fiancee's VERY ancient Sodastream, and the owner generously encouraged me to bring in to the store. Not only did she help me determine what model cartridge I needed and ordered one, she personally gave me an older cartridge to use in its stead until the new one arrived--truly above and very beyond. In addition to exemplary and personal attention, they have some interesting, diverse, quality products. Most of their products--particularly for the home--are high quality and very eco-friendly. In addition to housewares and such, they have great gift items for adults as well as for kids, cool, unique greeting cards, and some unique surprises, such as a surprisingly good candy/truffle assortment and a random box of vinyl. Fun and friendly shop to stop in, and very grateful it is in our neighborhood!

The space has Filipino crafts and goods inside with some vintage clothes in the back. Artwork, jewelry, candles, cards, etc. Cute store and hope to see it continue to thrive!

You can take an escalator to the Lower Level. If you need an elevator just ask on the main floor when you enter the Rockefeller Center building. If you are on Fifth Ave near 50th street OR on Sixth Ave near 50th Street, you are very close, the building is between 5th and 6th Avenues.

In fact this location do not carry any journals nor diaries, or even postcards remotely close for tourists. I would imagine they would have printed matter for tourist but none of postcards or greeting cards, due to the size of this retail space. The associates are callous and inattentive to my prescence or needs. Whatever happen to the ethics of customer service in 2012 era, did it gone down into the plaguing toilet like mannerism, respect, honesty, open positive communication, and sincerity?
