No! I wanted a sharp card, not a card sharp

September 1, 2009 8:23 PM

I am looking for a super-cool card store in NYC.

Mrs. HotBot has not wised up lo these ten years and she loves cool and cards. Where can I get her a cool card in NYC? I need to get it the same day - no special orders. And I am not thinking Papyrus - I am thinking albino monks with a small tea salon/cool card emporium on some street I have never heard of.

Pearl River Mart has lots of interesting cards and stationery, and I'd hunt around more in Chinatown if I were you.

There's also House of Cards & Curiosities at 23 8th Ave.

Might be worth checking out Obscura on East 10th Street and Ave. A to see if they have any super-old greeting cards you can paw through.

Revolution Books has some cool cards, as I remember. Political, leftist cards, of course.
