Such a wonderful place to visit in NYC. It was one of the best shops: D

This store is a real gem. The selection is mind boggling. I really liked that they had back issues of Life magazine - I wanted to pick up the issue for my dads birthday but sadly they didnt have it in stock. We did pick up some nice covers from back issues or The New Yorker, which I imagine will look even more beautiful once framed. They also do international shipping (handy to know as I was visiting NYC and could not fit a massive poster in my cabin luggage! The staff are very friendly/helpful and the full catalogue is contained online (but that still doesnt beat going down to check out the wares!). Highly recommend checking this place out.

Awesome place! Staff said it is the biggest poster store in the whole world, and hell yes. Although it results kind of difficult to look for a poster by yourself, employees are friendly and make the search a little bit easier.I also met the owner, this gray-haired geek that immediately denotes his huge passion and love for the store. Really nice experience, hope to come back soon.

We literally ran though the shop, so I cannot say a lot about it, but it had a great atmosphere and even a more amazing collection of posters!

I came here to search for vintage posters and magazines - not disappointed. They had original covers and magazines in some instances - not reprints you normally find in art shops/streets.There is a framing studio just across if youd like your posters framed - Trilogy Photo Lab.

What a find. This place is like poster heaven. Thousands of old world posters of any size and probably any budget. Most of them are not framed. Its really hard to go through the inventories as most of the posters were piled on top of each other. Need to spend a good amount of time if you really want to find something to buy there.

This place is heaven for vintage art fanatics. The staff is extremely knowledgable and they have terminals set up throughout the store where you can search for names or genres, which makes sorting through the massive stacks of paper less stressful. Even if you dont have the budget for authentic vintage art, stop in just to look. Its beautiful.

I started visiting Philip Williams in the 80s in downtown New York - i found a treasure of vintage Greek and Egyptian travel posters - 3 of them by Spyros Vasiliou made in the 40s - i framed them and took them with me to retirement in Greece 30 years later - they are fabulous and Philip is such a simpatico pro.

A fun place to see thousands of vintage posters, Life magazines, opposed to cards. Mostly old movies, but also French advertising posters and War bond posters

Review №27

Vast repository of posters from around the world. Its more like a museum. If you dont want to spend $400 on a huge poster, you can pick up some nice smaller ones for $40. Definitely worth a visit.

Youd be surprised what little gems you can find for $15 in their plethora of posters. And for those looking to spend $800+ on a grand decoration, this is the place to go. The owner and staff are all very friendly, they really want you to walk out with what you were looking for.
