We're a huge fan of puzzles and were so amazed by their selection! I love The New York Puzzle Company and they were STOCKED. They have so many great ones and they all range in number of pieces. They even had the mini puzzles from The New Yorker- a niche item! If you're big on board games, their selection is super extensive too! Such a fun spot!

The staff here is easily the best I've ever encountered, so incredibly hospitable and warm. We got drinks and snacks for our tickets and loved being able to just sit back and really enjoy the cozy space. Everything is incredibly well-maintained, right down to the notably clean restroom. If you want a welcoming environment for your next game night, this is definitely the place to go!

Awesome collection of cocktails and mocktails and decent amount of food options...not too many... Unfortunately, they were out of quite a few things when we went but we liked everything we ordered .... pretzel sticks, falafel salad, Mac and cheese. The turkey sandwich had a lot of turkey with chips. Wish I had taken pics but I guess there is always next time :) Oh and ps: they have game tournaments too!

The Miniature Car Dealer is one of those below ground shops that is worth the effort. It is a small shop but it is jam packed with miniature cars, planes, motorcycles, tanks, limos and all sorts of two, four and multi-wheeled vehicles. As well, a good collection of planes and helicopters. The stuff is far from cheap and it is not inexpensive either. But this is a neat shop for a browse and a purchase as you're exploring the (smaller) road less traveled.

When my son accidentally dropped a boxed Hot Wheels car, the owner pointed his cane at him and yelled, "Go, boy! Get out of here!"

This place is a real gem among rock shops, excuse the pun! I had a wonderful time coming here for…read morethe first time yesterday and being immediately greeted by Lann and his wife. I expressed interest in their lapidary and jewelry making classes, which are held in the upstairs area of their studio. I was very pleased to find that this was a proper rock shop (none of that new age-y stuff) with truly passionate and knowledgeable owners who can tell you the origin and geological info of everything in their collection. It was clear to me that the owners care deeply about the local community they've cultivated in their studio, which is a real contribution. Everything was well organized and reasonably priced. I made off with some exceptionally beautiful cabochons for my jewelry making collection - any hobbyist or professional jeweler would be thrilled at the collection of faceted gemstones and polished cabochons, all organized in drawers by type and color. I had a fabulous time and can't recommend this place enough. I will definitely be signing up for one of their classes next!

She just pointed and said, "I think." It wasn't that busy; however, all the salesclerks didn't bother to ask if I needed help as it was obvious I didn't know where to find things and they were too busy on their phones. POOR customer service. Frustrated, I was walking all over the store trying to find what I was looking for. Luckly, this one very nice salesclerk noticed I was overwhelmed and asked to help me. She wasn't sure they had what I was looking for but she went out of her way to try to find it. Mmmm, the first salesclerk didn't even attempt to try to find it. Will try to find another Michaels!

Having sat on the fence for what seems forever, I [we] finally decided to buy a seeStar s50 to dive…read moreinto astrophotography. We have disputed buying telescope systems over the years, as everyone knows there's this to buy and learn, then that to buy and learn, plug that into this; you get the idea. When we heard about the seeStar system, we thought it'd be perfect for our vision into the night sky. We aren't the only ones thinking that too, as we have read enough reviews and seen enough photos to crack any walnut's shell easily! BUT the reviews and pictures weren't enough to turn the tide till just days ago, when we saw by chance images captured with a seeStar BUT unlike any seeStar images we've already seen! Now we were sold on the concept with the only question where to buy it. To be honest we used amazon and found one quickly, purchased it, then watched as it sat and sat and sat for over many hours AFTER the shipping label was created. Sure a shipping label was made, but I didn't buy a shipping label; I purchased and wanted a seeStar! Though it finally did ship over 13hrs AFTER the shipping label was created, it was my waiting endlessly for the actual shipment to start that I decided to already get another one for the wife after all two minds and two sets of hands can't use a single seeStar at the same time! Aside from a slight billing problem that was quickly resolved, Cloud Break Optics created their shipping label and the transport service they use had the package to deliver, ALL within three hours! Compare that with the amazon vendor who took over a whole half DAY after the label was created, before the transport company actually HAD the package! Plus the pricing was LOWER than the amazon purchase by over $60, even considering that shipping through Cloud Break Optics was additional! I haven't even received the seeStar from Cloud Break Optics yet but I already looove how Cloud Break Optics functions quickly and treats its customers! I'll update this once I get my package[s], and both deliveries will be delivered by the same delivery truck and driver!! Really! UPDATE 19Feb2024: It arrived on time and via the same delivery van! Practiced with it indoors due to extreme freezing air temps the first day, then the second day and today, went out in less freezing temps (only 31°f with 21° windchill with wind) and got pixs of the Moon, and today used the solar filter for the first time and snapped the sun and the Moon again today! Thanks much for such a smart-than-me telescope that is compact, light,"easy" to use, and gets the job done!!
