Hello & Greetings to All... I find myself in the "Big Apple" for a conference and would like advice on where to look for Tarot decks. I'm in Manahattan. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Peace, Beatriz

Enjoy, say hello to the black kitty who paws hair. :)

I've been there - Morgana's cats actually run that place :) By the way, I still have her card. She is located on 242 West 10th Street. There is another shop on the East Side which I never got to when I was last there in December and the name escapes me. Good luck. Dan

....and if you walk up and down the street numerous times and cant find it, just turn around and look at the store behind you and "POOF!!! there it will be! right Firemaiden??? and yes, do watch your hair in that place. ;) I personally would make sure mine was up in a bun before entering!

I haven't ever been back in NYC since my interest in tarot began, but I've heard that Quest Books is a place to check out. Anyone know for sure?

Mimers	28 Mar 2004
Rusty, I have not heard of it. Is it in Manhatten? I will have to check it out next time I am down that way. Which will be soon. The Metropolitan Museum is having a Byzatine Empire display soon that I would love to see! I saw some previews of the artwork, and it reminds me of the Golden Tarot.

I can't vouch for whether it's worth the trip, but Quest Bookshop is in midtown Manhattan. http://www.questbookshop.com/ http://www.questbookshop.com/tarot/index.htm The Theosophical Library upstairs might have tarot books to browse through.

Mimers	28 Mar 2004
Thank you Rusty! I will be down there next month and will definitely make a stop there. Take care, Mimi

I just realized I'll be in Manhattan in April and can visit this place. Haven't been to the city in almost 10 years!

Hi Beatriz, I just bumped an old thread ("Esoteric shops in Newark" on this very board) where i got two addresses in NY. Originally my hubby was in Newark but he would drive to NY as soon as he could so these addresses were very useful. Without the info from Dark Electric from Aeclectic, i would never had received five decks among which ... the legendary Greenwood! The decks DH got from NY still smell incense... :) Hope this helps!

You can try East West Books in Manhattan - 5th Ave and 13th street I believe (on the left hand side facing North)
