Featured Store: Jay's Hallmark

JAY'S HALLMARK in the South Building at the Port Authority Bus Terminal is this gigantic stationery and card store. If it is schmaltzy or kitschy, it is likely they will have it. From "world's Best Dad" coffee to inspirational picture frame, it may be in stock. Think Ziggy and America in 1985. It is an office manager's Nirvana. 625 8th Avenue New York, NY 10018 - (212) 564-6030.
