The Scene
You can get lost for days in this Chinatown megastore's two floors, which contain everything from wifebeaters to megaphones to ""Hell Money"" (kind of like play money except it...

Editorial review from Citysearch

One of the best and most interesting shopping store in the city. It really has everything and at great prices. When out of town friends or family come I always bring them here. And while the shop I head to the tea shop and have some artisan tea with some lychee nuts. They have a website you can view but you really need to come to the store and experience it.

There was FELA on Broadway but its FELASPIRATIONS still at 946 Fulton street Brooklyn where a new show on the impressions of this legend is going on this summer. You sure remember him when you see the impression of his characters on the canvas!

No matter what time of year it is, Chinatown is the place to get a great deal on all kinds of “stuff” from pots and pans to plants and Chinese specialty items. But hands down my fav store is Pearl River Mart Inc, partially because I don’t have to troll all around Chinatown looking for all the things I need – everything I could find there is housed in the three floors making up the Pearl River Mart.

The last time I was there I discovered the yummiest ginger candy, and picked up some jasmine tea and a Chinese lantern to spruce up my bedroom. Then I headed downstairs where I scooped up...

The minute you walk into this place you distinguish it from it's Great Smell. I can never identify what it is, but it smells Goood.. Its a Soft, pleasing, welcoming scent. Wow
I love that this place is never crowded. And it's large enough to get lost and feel like no one else is there. There is an entrance on Broadway and an entrance on Mercer Street. They have a large selection of fabrics. The 2nd floor is filled with tons of home goods... There is a Tea Balcony with small seating area. They carry all the normal things as a normal home goods, variety store.. Plus Hand Bags, Slippers,...

This place reminds me of the enormous wholesale warehouses in China. I’m Chinese so stores like this bring me so much cheer tinged with nostalgia. I love Pearl River by default, but really, it’s the best repository of unique, off-the-wall items and knickknacks to buy as gifts or for yourself. You can find everything from gaudy, classy, tasteful, to downright artistic. If you can’t find anything with which to amuse yourself…well, then, you probably don’t have a sense of humor. (…Kind of kidding). Lots of traditional Asian things – tea sets, bamboo products, curtains, screens, vases. ...
