    What store have you walked by recently and thought, "how is this place still in business?"

      Not a NYer but I'd love to see one on a funky used book store, there must be some real gems

    That was so awesome. Next time I am in New York, I will definitly visit his shop. We cannot allow true artisans to fade away to faceless corporate monotony.

    That “Viagra Wheat” stamp is 100% for the popular restaurant Empanada Mama in NYC! Viagra is one of the empanada flavors and they come in either wheat or corn. They put them in wax bags and stamp the outside so you can till which ones are which! Love that they are supporting this local business!

    Big box stores have killed artisanship. We NEED stores like this to keep the world interesting and dynamic.
    The commercial real estate cartel is killing commercial diversity.

      That's one major reason. Folks can't afford to pay the rising rent costs in these locations so they shut down.
      Another reason is that the US is too car dependent so most folks tend to not walk as much. These small stores greatly depend on foot traffic from curious people just passing by for their business to thrive.

    I am a rubber stamper and I found this video very interesting. Back in the 80’s and 90’s rubber stamping was a big part of the craft industry. There are still companies that sell lots of rubber stamps.

    I think I went to this stamp store a few years ago when I was younger, with my grandfather and my little sister. I'll have to make an effort to visit again when I'm in NYC.

    He can expand to stationary aswell
    Have a stationary store that sells stationary but also make a section on stamp making
    Or maybe start conducting classes on stamp making as an activity in the city

    Refreshing to see a business that has a soul. I would rather give my business to somebody like that than some mindless corporation.

      Great feature! Very well produced and presented. It's nice to see videos like this were the presenter honestly appreciates the place/subject of the piece. No snark or "look at this silly old fashioned place", but instead a kind and knowledgeable look into an often overlooked part of our world. Kudos and one to be proud of!
