The Brooklyn Superhero Supply Store is one of New York City's most unique retail locations, serving as the public storefront for nonprofit writing and literacy organization 826NYC, which offers free after-school tutoring and writing workshops for young Brooklyn-area students. The Park Slope store is open to the public during the afternoon hours Tuesdays through Sundays, selling quirky superhero-themed goods and novelties, including costumes, posters, toys, and unique gadgets and joke items. Visitors can also check out humorous superhero-themed displays, including a vintage "mind-reading" chair, a cape testing wind tunnel, and a Devillainizer apparatus. Though purchase is not required to visit the store, donations to 826NYC are greatly appreciated to help fund future endeavors.
