Where are some good arts and craft stores around? The bigger/more stuff in the store the better, but any craft store would be great. I feel like being crafty this weekend, but there isn't any particular craft I'm looking for. I kinda want to go and look around and pick something out. Thanks!!

Pearl Paint in Chinatown has everything you could ever possibly desire. The Compleat Sculptor on/near Hudson St. also has a lot of really, really great casting supplies.

Seconded. If you're in a crafty mood but don't have any ideas in particular, just wander around in Pearl Paint for half an hour or so.

Thirded! Pearl Paint is awesome.

Also, check out stationery stores in your neighborhood (or as you wander the city). And art stores -- Utrecht has several locations, and Pratt, over in Brooklyn, has a store.

There is a Pearl Art store off of...Canal street I believe. There is a big one actually on Canal street, and then a kind of more wholesale/warehouse place on the street behind it. They have quite a selection and good prices but what they have at both place seems random.

There's a couple of Michael's stores in Queens --

5106 Northern Blvd (take the R/V local to the Northern Blvd stop and walk a couple of blocks)

9030 Metropolitan Avenue (off Woodhaven Blvd)

And AC Moore's is very close to the Michael's on Metropolitan.

It all depends on whether you mean artsy or craftsy. :-D
