I'm amazed that Rainbow is in the neighborhood because the have such good prices. There is a large selection of everything from housewares to hardware stuff (in the basement) to cosmetics and stationary to dishes. It's fun to see the things they have on display for clearance. You can really get anything there. It's the place I like to go most to get anything I need for the home.

A few months ago we decided to repaint our house and do some home renovation too. We looked around for the best paint suppliers and prices and found that Benjamin moore paint at artiesn hardware catered to both needs. We got all our paint and supplies at a great price in the same spot

I love going in and browsing through all the wonderful things. It's just massive. Everything you could possibly need and I've usually had good service (sometimes they get busy). Can't think of a reason to go anywhere else.

This store looks small at first glance, with parts, tools, etc. all the way to the ceiling. But they also have a back stockroom and huge basement that are closed off to the public and full of stuff going back decades. (I was once allowed down there to search for a screen.) I think if it ever existed and is still find-able, you'll find it here. Many of the customers are professional builders and maintenance guys, but they also welcome neophyte neighbors who just want to hang shelves. Very pleasant and patient staff. Not the cheapest, but not outrageous.

Abigail’s will surprise you. It is right next door to a bakery, and the small menu is posted outdoors, but walk in side and you will get two menus: one that’s Pan Asian, including a nice sushi selection, and another that’s more typical bistro-dining fare. The regular food was good, but the sushi was terrific!!! California rolls were served on their sides, avocado slice on top, fish roe sprinkled over that, and a sauce drizzled on them. Definitely different, but oh so good! Expensive.

Columbia/University Hardware/Housewares is/are terrific. Between the two stores, they have everything. The staff work hard, get to know you, remember you, and vice versa.
You tell Bob what you need, and he responds two ways. "Yes, it's in the 2nd aisle to the left on the bottom shelf, Gary, will you help her find it?" all in one breath,
or
"No, but I can have it for you tomorrow,"and he means it.
The phone is constantly ringing at both places, and these guys are truly problem solvers. They also know everyone in the neighborhood, including painters, carpenters, appliance repair people, whatever you need....
It's a goldmine of everything vital for setting up a dorm room or improving the quality of your life: cleaning materials to maintain your stuff, kitchen supplies, umbrellas, bath towels, paint, spray paint, hangers, keys, locks, lamps, bookcases, scotch tape, folding chairs, etc.
Go there and see for yourself!

Despite the cheap prices, the quality at this clothing is suprisingly NOT poor. In fact, the blouses or pants you may find there can survive more than one use. (Slight exaggeration - only kidding.) There are plenty of bargain finds for $10 there. Lots of dressy clothing and casual items. This is just another example of discovering good bargains without having to pay New York-skyscraper prices. Give it a try, won't leave a dent in your pocket if you're satisfied.

I have never been able to stump the fellas at Lopez. They have everything and are SO helpful. It is a small hardware store, but fills your needs. They have helped me figure out efficient ways to fix simple things around the house and their prices are very reasonable. I rarely visit another home store, as they seem to have it all (from lamps to dishes to drywall screws).
