Black Ink is so appealling and unique it's hard to leave without acquiring something, even just a card. From the floor to the very high ceilings shelves are stacked with unusual items ranging from games, Japanese children's toys, urban gardening kits, books, bath products, bags, notebooks, Pyrex measuring/drinking glasses, and just plain silly little items. Prices range from the super-low to Quite High. The layout is a visual feast and everything is easy to touch. Also high end gift wraps, ceramics, etc. A more than passing nod to Japanese and European tastes. Also lovely and odd letterpress and small-press cards for all occasions. Very crowded and hard to navigate on weekends, so go early or feel oppressed.
