Kiosk...

It doesn't look much from the outside, infact it doesn't look like anything but a dodgy doorway with a neon arrow above it from the outside...

Inside isn't much better...


 The walls, doors and stairs are covered in layers of graffiti.

But at the top of the stairs, down the hall, next to the kitchen cooking up Chinese food, is Kiosk...


Kiosk is 'a travel story depicted through objects' (that's what it says on the wall anyway), it's a bit like that tiny museum in the lift that we went to a year or two ago. It has lots of individual items, all selected by the people who run the shop - some of them are for sale, some of them are just on show, but they've all got a story behind them.

They change around the collection of items and give the collection a different name, just like an exhibition would do. The items stay on display/sale for 4-5 months while the people at Kiosk find new products to show from their travels.

It was a great little shop, and felt like a secret cave of trinkets - another hidden gem in New York.
