Description

This Park Slope storefront acts as a whimsical retail space for cape testers and superhero gear, maintaining a playful front for a serious cause. Beyond the facade, a hidden door conceals 826NYC, a nonprofit writing center where students attend tutoring sessions and workshops. Every purchase made in the shop functions as a funding vehicle for free youth programs, supporting the development of creative and expository writing skills within the community. It is a space where the inventory of novelty gear exists alongside a library filled with short story compilations written by local students.
