Village fabric is a good, neighborhood fabric store. Certainly, don't travel out of your way for it, but if you live in the area, it's worth looking into before heading up to the garment district. Their supply of notions is thin beyond the basics (there's a decent trim store down the block, but they aren't friendly), but for the size of the store their fabric range is good, as are their prices. They are also very helpful and friendly to first time and novice sewers.
