Customers are firmly split on the service at Alternative Arts, with some commenting on unspeakable rudeness (although you have to question those who would take so violently to an online forum to complain), while others wax nostalgic about the owner’s generosity (he let one young, self-described “starving artist” pay for a beloved print in instalments).
Whatever your opinion on the folks behind the counter, the Annex shop is a virtual treasure trove of hard-to-find prints, ornate frames, and assorted miscellany to add the right touch to your space. Personal highlight: The hilarious collection of fridge magnets by the cash register.
