Specialty cards for every occasion. Come in and don't be afraid to laugh out loud at our fun cards. Unique gifts from location and fair trade artisans. Jewelry, artwork, metal, birdhouses, purses, and so much more! New larger and brighter location now open in downtown Astoria.

great art and formats. Online shopping and art viewing during this time of lock down is very releaving

Weird Sisters Freak Boutique is a buy/ Sell/ Trade shop overflowing with quirky, strange and delightful fashions, housewares and oddities, all sold out of a shop that is also an immersive art installation that's situated in the Hidden Underground Experience. Classic Astoria charm.

Come for the artwork, eclectic attire / merchandise, esoteric conversation, and immersive theater, stay for the... the things I just said. I chose a poor formula for this review. I have attended two of their immersive theater events, and they do a wonderful job of letting the viewer guide their level of participation, to the point where they can become both audience and part of the show. For example, in December 2019, they had a sort of improvised scavenger hunt with a Narnia/Alice in Wonderland / winter/solstice theme with a remarkably elaborate set where we could pick up costume pieces to don and hunt/barter for ingredients to make potions or trade for answers to riddles from actors. I like that it encourages people to break out of their comfort zone and talk to one another. Definitely check it out!

We wandered into this adorable bookstore while visiting Astoria. The shop was friendly, organized, and charming. The lady at the counter checked in on us several times and seemed friendly. The shop had a good selection for books for adults and children. The whole place made me smile (I really like books !)
