KIOSK HELLO

They are back, the cou­ple behind the eso­teric store that inspired us a lot to do what we do. Some of you remem­ber a store on 13th St between 4th Ave and Ave A that sold an all sorts of pleas­ant and won­der­fully unpleas­ant things — for exam­ple, our ghastly par­rot lamp was a find at that store — find, not a bar­gain that time, they liked it a lot too so we had to kind of out­bid them before they let go of it. No grudge, they just liked their stuff and they should — in our world it was the best of the best, creme de la creme, gräd­det på gräd­det, vrazn­jieck vo vrazn­jieck (ok, I made the last one up). They closed the store a few years ago but kept on col­lect­ing things. The past three Decem­bers they have come back  and packed an apart­ment with hol­i­day dec­o­ra­tions, and this year they are here as well. You can­not be unhappy after a visit at their tem­po­rary store — you will find the most won­der­ful vin­tage tree dec­o­ra­tions or win­dow hang­ers there. Not sure how I can empha­size enough how impor­tant it is to go there. If there were only two stores in the world you had to go to, it would be them and us. One then? Oh, whatever!

Dullsville are just like us on the sec­ond floor — you have to ring the bell and there is no big signs to look for — 143 E 13th St, NY, NY
