Mystikal Wonders is a cross between Hogwarts and the Shop Around the Corner and I mean that in a good way. A small shop but what it lacks in size makes up for in heart and inventory. Want to cast a spell? Get info on candle magic? Or just in the mood to smell some really patchouli incense. Mystikal Wonders carries everything for the little Pagan or Harry Potter in all of us.

When I first started my job my then new coworkers took me out to lunch at Bali Nusa. I didn't think I would like Indian food but the dishes here were not too bad. A little spicy for my tastes but it kept my stomach full. The specials make for a fairly cheap lunch. However I just read the other day that they failed a health inspection so I would eat here at my own risk

Think of this as the cheapie version of Sephora only with Revlon and Almay. They carry trial sized and full sized beauty products for the girl with caviar tastes and a beer budget. If you look in the newspaper AM NY that gets passed out around train stations you can sometimes find a twenty percent off coupon you can use.

A very tranquil and beautiful museum. Something you would not expect to find in Staten Island but there it is. This Tibetan museum has art, books, and photographs on everything...Tibetan. They have a beautiful garden that would put the Brooklyn Botanical to shame. They also hold meditation walks and yoga classes. Entering the museum is like stepping into the past.

Wonderful if a bit pricey beauty spa. They have windows that reach from floor to ceiling in the waiting room. They stock Chinese herbs, water filters and a bunch of health books. They have Swedish massages, facials and a flotation device that every person should try at least once in their life. It's an experience you won't soon forget. Friendly staff.

A great alternative in magazine literature for those who are sick to death of the Lose-10-Pounds-in-seven-days-while-balancing-your-checkbook-on-your-newly-taut-abs-that-will-drive-your-man-wild-in-the-sack articles that seem to covet all the top magazines on a regular basis. See Hear carries nothing but homemade zines that anyone with a little glue, paper and imagination can make. They carry post feminisim, music reviews, world views, personal essays and neo everything. Look for the ear/eye sign to spot the store.

A very small store that holds a just about a million wires and gizmos for all your technical needs. The staff is very accomodating and are always ready to offer their assistance. It's a perfect store for the not so very technically minded to come inside and ask questions or to get some advice about computers, hard drives, projectors, printers and anything you would need in an office space.

Smooshed in between a FedEx and a Italian restaurant is a tiny shop that serves only the most delicious soups and empanadas in the city. The soups come in many different flavors as does the empanadas. If you are not sure which soup you want you can taste a sample. After 3pm the prices are slased in half. Around lunch time there is often a line that goes out the door. They recently started making breakfast empanadas as well.
