East Village Postal

This family-owned postal shop has quietly grown into one of the city’s best stationery shops over the past few years. Hard-to-find pens, a global selection of greeting cards, popular Japanese notebooks and fancy gifts make this a one stop shop. Ship a package, find a great birthday gift, and replace the scissors you lost — all in one place! Hot tip: Jane, one of the owners, makes stunning life-like crepe paper flowers, which can be purchased here.
