I stumbled upon this store the other day and couldn't be happier! I wanted to buy everything...they have great high end designer clothing at a fraction of the price! (Chanel, Dior, Kors, Gucci, etc) The salespeople are really helpful and sweet. I will definetely be going back. Easy location to get to. Always new stuff coming in and out of the shop. Clean, clean, clean. Head out there right away for a great steal.

This is an absolutely stunning and very expensive antique store. Because it focuses mostly on nordic stuff, its items are not the ornate, overwraught stuff of most antique shops. These are large, stately and beautiful wood pieces. If you actually have an apartment large enough to accomodate them, your budget can accomodate the prices.

Best bathroom in New York City! Check it out.
I try to get a table with a swing when I make reservation, as I love the idea of eating out on the porch and that is the feeling I get when I am eating in one of the swings here.
Since the finished the expansion of the bar, I miss the piano in the dining room. BRING IT BACK! I know they won't, because the tables are nicely spaced now.
I adore the food here - from fried chicken to catfish. I had tried about 1/2 of the items on the menu and have yet to be disappointed in a dish. Come HUNGREY because portions are large and you might want a cobbler at the end of your meal.

these guys are the nyc rep for contemporary artist takashi murakami of whom i am an avid collector. i got started with murakamis through his prints (which get sold in 'new issues' on a fairly regular basis) which are quite affordable. but they also represent a number of cutting edge artistis. its in the west 20s - its a fun place to stop by just to take a look at who is on exhibit.

More
Few places in Manhattan remain "authentic." In a city awash with me-too "print" and frame shops, the Old Print Center remains alone. It is like a museum that does not charge admission.
One highlight here is the impressive collection of topographical prints. Browsers can find fascinating maps of old New York, some depicting the original Dutch colony that extended no further north than Wall St. (hence the name - it marked the northern most wall of the then-small village)
There is a wide range of still lifes, portrait prints, art prints, and bird/wildlife prints. Half of the fun is trying to find them in the archaic filing system.
Your enjoyment of the Old Print Center is further enriched by understanding its history. The current owner/manager, Michael Lucus, is the son of Phyllis Lucas who ran this shop as a thriving center of NYC's mid-20th Century art world. Phyllis was Dali's exclusive NYC printer for a ten-year span of Dali's career. Ask Michael and he might let you see the original Dali prints lying in a drawer in the back room.
He also does custom framing jobs (of his own prints, or yours). If you have purchased an expensive piece of art at a local gallery or at one of the auction houses, bring it to Michael to preserve and frame; he is one of the only qualified people for miles around.
It seems that hardly anyone ever comes in here (except to gawk at the interesting maps) and even fewer ever seem to buy anything. It's hard to understand how the shop can remain open on such a prime, expensive spot (52nd St and 2nd Ave in Turtle Bay). Perhaps Michael makes a mint on the occasional custom job. A few years back, his sister took half the collection out west to make money off of rich folks decorating their winter ski lodges. The shop remains open as a labor of love. See it quick - one day, when Michael is done, the Old Print Center will be done too. And NYC will have lost another original.

This is a wonderful store. Sure you can't afford much, if anything there, but the glass sculptures are awesome. If you are in the neighborhood it is worth it to just walk in and look around. That said, you can pick up some fancy glassware as well for a price. If you are looking to spend some serious coin on a dinnerware glass set, this is the place to do it.
