Lucky MagazineAugust 1, 2012My husband and i find unique home items at Film Biz Recycling. It’s a great nonprofit that sells reclaimed movie props. You might end up with a desk Al Pacino sat at in his last film.
Jenna HJanuary 26, 2013This place is the best. They have a constantly changing collection of furniture, props, set pieces, and weird odds and ends. The employees are extremely helpful and friendly!
The Corcoran GroupFebruary 11, 2011Spend some time going through film and TV props at their amazing new space! Owner Eva Radke will be happy to tell you where everything came from and make you a deal.
Village VoiceNovember 21, 2011Winner of Best Junk Shop in the Village Voice 2011 Best Of issue! Some of the best items are available for rent - giant disco ball, anyone?

- Use the basement entrance. Look for the orange sign and white arrow.
Steve RaderDecember 31, 2013Was disappointed. The coolest stuff was only available to rent. The rest was average at best thrift shop items. High prices.

The coolest place in the planet to rent or buy salvaged set dressing and props. NYC's only non-profit prop shop, venue and art gallery.
