Bed Bath and Beyond!
I used to go there as a child with my mom, she always loved it. I never went when I moved to New York, but I should have. I went for the first time about six months ago when i decided I needed a real floor mirror, not the distorted one I got from KMart. It was very high quality, a quarter of the price of the one at the furniture store in Chelsea, and delivery was only $15.
I needed to buy some picture frames today so first I went to KMart, the closest store. The price was right but the quality was absolute shit. Typical KMart, buy consumables but stay away from everything else. Amazon had some good stuff, but this is the sort of thing you want to see in person. (I buy EVERYTHING from Amazon. Including stuff like cereal, coffee, toilet paper, soap and shampoo. The prices are great and delivery is free. Amazon Prime rules).
I went to an art store with nice frames, but the price was double KMart's, definitely overpriced. So then I wandered over to Bed Bath and Beyond. The exact same brand as the fancy art store, but at the KMart price. I seriously need to shop there more often. I always wished there was a Target in Manhattan, but now I see BBB is just as good if not better.
