  They won’t let you use the bathroom which is wild considering I regularly drop a stack here.

  A five-star review when they didn't have what I went there for? This is about the service, not necessarily the store itself. I really had to have a specific product: what? OK, it was the Caran D'ache Grafcube, red tint. There's no place that has this and I *had* to have it *now*, so I checked Blick's website and the store availability checker... In stock in Harlem (only). I'm in Brooklyn but it's a nice bike ride, so on my way... I get there, it's right near the Studio Museum (YES! MY FAVORITE NYC MUSEUM) I find the right aisle, I find the Caran D'ache case which says "Grafcube RGB" - the EMPTY case! The lady who had already offered to help me was still nearby, so I asked her. She checked and the inventory system said there were several in stock. There are overstock cartons above the shelves, labelled with brand or media type. This incredible person (drum roll here...) N'Deye (pronounced En-Day, BTW) reassures me that we'll find them, gets a ladder and starts taking down and going through each obvious carton. When we've exhausted those, she then goes through the non-obvious cartons. We examined about 30 cartons(!) When we cannot find them, she gets a colleague (manager maybe) and he tells her some things to check in the inventory system and they determine that they're not actually in the store (last received over a year ago), maybe stolen. N'Deye then apologized so profusely and sincerely. Hey. at this point I was so touched by all of the attention that had been given I was fine :) So... disappointing trip or not? Let's do some math: Blick stock control: 0 stars Blick location: 4 stars Blick associate N'Deye: 11 stars Other Blick associate (sorry, I didn't get your name): 5 stars ========== Average: (0+4+11+5)/4 = 5 Stars! But really, it's all about N'Deye - Blick management please take notice and recognize this! P.S. I did find the Red Grafcube (YAY*2) as part of a set they had at Janoff's, which I decided to try since I was already 12 miles from home

  Very good experience, I’m new to painting model vehicles and stopped by to pick up paints for my tanks. When I was readily to check out the staff pointed out to me that I had two paints that couldn’t mix very well together, which was very helpful especially since I am new to painting stuff. Glad I came to this store, and will definitely be back.
