This is a medium sized bookstore in Bayridge, Brooklyn. the store is very well kept and the exhibits change regularly. It has a nice feel and some of the women who work there are also owners. Although the store doesn't have the selection that Barnes and Nobles has, they are able to quickly order whatever you need. This is one local store which you must visit!

We had out wedding invitation done here, and it was a great experience!! We knew we were going to design our own invitation, but we wanted some help with the technical aspect of letterpress printing. We were greeted by the cheerful Melinda, and she immediately pulled out boxes of custom design samples for us to look at. And she used the custom samples to explain to us the different things we can do, and pros and cons of using different printing methods to achieve our design goal. She is very knowledgeable and she understands immediately what we want and gives great suggestions. For example, she suggested us to go with a larger printing company, because they usually have more competitive pricing, and since we are not using the design of the stationer anyway, why pay extra? I should also mention that they carry a lot of great stationers whose designs are very unique and beautiful, including some local brooklyn designers. We sat there for a long time and flipped through a lot of books and got lots of inspirations! We were also very impressed by their turn around time, and reasonable rates. We are extremely happy with the end result!! Thanks Melinda & Meljrie!
Pros: reasonable price, knowledgeable staff, turnaround time
Cons: none

I purchased my puppy here 5 years ago. The selection of puppies was very vast, including various breeds of dogs. The puppies seemed very well taken care of, and the staff was very caring towards them. I bought my puppy at a very good price, I shopped around at other pet stores around the area as well. Besides having the cutest puppies, they also sell anything that you can possibly want for your puppy. They have toys, food, brushes, snacks, clothes etc.
My puppy is a full grown Rottweiler now, and i take him to the store every month because they also groom dogs. They do a great job grooming, especially since my dog is so big.
I would recommend this place to anyone who wants their dog to receive 5 star treatment.

I really enjoyed my experience here. Natasha is great! She's knowledgeable, courteous and respectful of your time. I'm growing my hair natural and she is very supportive of this process. She listens to what you want and infuses that with what you need. And the best part is that you're in and out quickly but you still get a great salon experience. The staff is great and the assistants give the best shampoos I've ever had. She's a little expensive but I'm learning to budget my money so that i can go at least every two weeks. I love it here and I never miss an appointment!
Pros: never have to wait long
Cons: a little expensive

This store has so much to see. Every item is handmade by creative, local artists. And the best thing is the prices--they are not what you'd expect considering everything is so carefully crafted. My favorite items are the shoes and bags. This store is a true gem and I was lucky to have stumbled upon it. You get personal attention from warm salespeople while you're shopping as well. All around great experience here.

I travelled from Rockland County to Brooklyn for my dress for my niece's wedding. I can't say enough how happy and pleased I am with the store and the help I received. Fay, the saleswoman, was very knowledgable with the stock and found the perfect dress for my mpther and myself. The seamstress was able to do the alterations while we waited so I wouldn't have to make another trip to Brooklyn. Thanks Fay and Tammy for helping us look great for the upcoming event!
Pros: Saleswoman, Fay, was very helpful. The seamstress was great

I am reluctant to share this gem of a shop with others because Eva Gentry consignment resale clothes are so carefully selected, whether it be 1930'3, 1940's, or 1950's Vintage; hard to find pieces that may be the early designs of some of the best in clothing names, or recent picks of top designers, I have found them here and grabbed them up. I stop in every few weeks, always finding some 'must have' item. I live in Manhattan and make the trip here because it's "worth" it!
Pros: Great and varied selection, priced right, high quality clothes, clean clothing

After shopping at Banana haven't you ever wanted something more original and interesting? After buying jewelry or a purse at H&M haven't you ever wished you knew some small shop of designers with beautifully made pieces?
This is the place. I bought a pair of lacy underwear my boyfriend almost died over. I bought a pair of betty boop underwear that are SO cute. I've spent serious time contemplating some of their purses, which are the kind of pieces that you get stopped on the street by other girls who ask you where you got it. My mother came with me once and bought me the most beautiful camisole that I wear with jeans. I love this little gold clutch that I've had for two years that I bought there. And I've gotten two pairs of boots that girls, and even one guy have commented that they love.
So while It's nice to buy at the generic stores, this is the kind of place you talk about to your friends, that you buy signature pieces at. I love that you can talk to the designers personally and even make requests. Check it out.
Pros: You can talk to the designers in person. Good quality items with signature pieces that people will always comment on.
Cons: They're always closed on monday.

I am moving to New York this April and I really wanted to get to know my neighboorhood. I figured I would get online and find some cool boutiques to go to. The problem is that I am a size 14 and most of these "cool" boutiques don' carry my size or if they do I feel like 5 pounds of sugar in a one pound bag! Ha! I googled a couple of shops online and found Lee Lee's.
On New Years Eve, in the cold, ice and snow, I found one of the best boutiques I have EVER shopped in! First of all, you receive immediate personal attention and care. The clothes are beautiful and and fit perfect. I have to say that the first dress that I tried on I have NEVER felt more beautiful than I did at that moment. I was in Lisa's shop for about 3 hours mainly because I couldn't stop trying on clothes, which NEVER happens! I love this shop and you can be sure that when I move to New York, Lisa, and her awesome staff, will be tired of seeing me!
Pros: Great Service, Beautiful Clothes, Lots of options to choose from
Cons: A little bit pricey but well worth it!

Bought yet another Maltese from Puppy City as an early Valentine's day gift for my wife 3 weeks ago. What a disposition on this little guy. Had my other one from them for 17 years. Nice people, very knowledgeable. Kenny who sold it to us is great; he too has a Maltese who is adorable. Although I see some negative feedback on here, I can only say that my experiences with them have been great.
