The Sari Shop

Shortly after we moved into our apartment, we realized that we needed some decorative fabrics for two of our tables. Given the diversity of our neighborhood, we knew that there had to be a fabric shop nearby that sells material to make saris.  We walked all of 4 blocks before stumbling upon our first one -- Astoria Fashion Fabric.  Needless to say, it was an experience walking into this small store that was stacked from floor to ceiling with rolls of fabric and with whatever remaining room was filled with families choosing which fabric to purchase  (and arguing with the store employees over pricing and fabrics).  It took us some time to navigate the small walkways and find two perfect pieces, but with the enormous selection we knew there was no better place to find what we were looking for!  Definitely a fun place to visit, especially if you need fabric of any make, color, design, but even if not!  And it's of course not the only sari shop in the area, which only adds to the allure of Astoria :)
