We went to the lunch with my grand-daughters, and it was great. The little dolls had their own place setting and boosters. The girls loved it. It is a wonderful place that I highly recommend to anyone with girls 5+.
Pros: Tons to do and look at, nice show (now closed), lunch was great
Cons: Parking, Not 2-year old friendly

Wacko is a great place to get a fun gift for a friend for any occasions like Archie McPhee but for those who know more about offbeat, and random subjects than ever before. Some of their items are cheap and less than impressive, but this store is expansive and full of the most eclectic subject matter ever.

the staff is so nice. ive been going here for 4 yrs and never once did they ever make me feel "you cant afford anything in here" vibe (they have some really expensive pens and offer professional wedding services, etc. so they dont have a lot to offer students). i go in here to buy unique cards and journals. they have beautiful leatherbound sketch pads and journals of every size if youre always on the go.
Pros: journals, leather goods, cards
Cons: expensive but worth it

In defense of Nick, I have purchased items from him in the past (on consignment as well as immediate purchase) and I never had any issues with him or his service(s). His has always been professional, honest and even suggested some ways that he can assist me in delivery and I reside in Las Vegas. I have been in NY for many months and now return to Vegas, seeking his tel number I read this negative comment about him and wanted to set the record straight! I do not believe the story written of him. I intend to stop by his establishment soon and continue to do business with him.

I absolutely had a great experience for my first child at Kids Land. I pretty much bought everything that i needed at this store. They have everything from cribs, strollers, car seats and so much more. If you need ideas to decorate your baby's room, then you could see what kinds of design/prints can be used for that room. They also have a very wide selection of European baby clothes and shoes. The best part of my experience are the employees are very friendly and are willing to help as much as possible. If you wanna make only one trip for all your baby items, Kids Land is surely the place to be.
Pros: Wide selection of everything for a baby

Soap Plant--the neon sign out front glows "Wacko"--is a great little store on Hollywood near Vermont. They sell a mix of books, toys, CD's and other trinkets and collectibles. There is also a gallery that features pretty cool lowbrow art. They cater to various types of hipsters, featuring Beat literature, books on punk rock , tattoos and various underground movements and arts--stuff that is outside the mainstream, but cool outside, not scary for the most part. You could spend hours there.

I love going to the Puzzle Zoo for unique gifts for a child. They have such a wonderful selection of toys like dolls, cars, blocks, stuffed animals in addition to puzzles. Many are unique to this store that I have not seen sold anywhere else. My sister and I sometimes go here together to shop for our kid's Christmas presents.

When I worked downtown i went here all the time. They have an amazing selection of unique toys -- lots of trains and wooden toys. They also sell cards and gifts. They have very good prices on Brio Train stuff (though the selection is small). The staff are friendly and its a great place to find toys that are a little different.

Blick's is located conveniently near the Fairfax area, and has a good selection of art supplies in its clean, well-organized store. Some items are a bit pricey, and they do not carry all items available on the Blick site online. For example, they did not carry velour paper for pastels. But overall they have good, knowledgeable customer service staff and they carry some good sales.
PROS: Good inventory, clean, well organized, good location
CONS: May not carry some items

I bought a set of items that I could have bought at other stores for less than half the price, once I developed my bargaining skills. The owner (a woman) is a corrupt seller. She ripped me off. I did not expect Chinese to rip people off in this way. She gave me a rude awakening to the business and Chinatown world. Stay away from this b!tc4 as much as possible. It was definitely not worth the money.
Pros: she has great manipulation skills
Cons: none
