Marie La Rue: A truly magical place. Such small businesses give the East Village its character. Unmatched selection of stamps, they can even make them custom-made.
Enia Titova: I'm so glad I found Casey. His store is what makes NYC worth the high rent, and the bed bugs, and the shitty weather.
Alexis Tirado: This store is why I love the East Village. Locally-owned with a crazy array of cool stamps. The ornery owner, Casey, has the best stories of old school NYC too!

Nia: Great for all mediums of art from jewelry making to sculpting. Small selection of yarns.
Harlem Ambassador: Where in the world has this art supply behemoth been all our lives? FINALLY, a selection that is so vast, Andy Warhol would have given it a thumbs up. Graffiti artists will dig the spray selections.
Mia Pamela: I really liked this place from the moment I walked in. Helpful staff and one of the only local art suppliers. Now, Im there every Sunday, hosting events 3-5pm.

Pedro Sepulveda: awesome shop! tons of tips and very cozy vibe
Matthew Schrank: Not a very large yarn store, but definitely has some unique yarn choices that I haven't seen anywhere else in the city. I would also say their prices are a little lower than others too. 4 stars
