Owned and operated by sisters Amy and Beth Salvini this oasis in a world of big box stores makes me feel like I just stepped into a Dicken's novel.

Shelves full of unique.whimsical paper goods and gifts. Many items are their own line and others are from around the country. The girls give small hobby shops throughout the US a chance to market their printing in a large city venue. The sisters own and operate their own letterpress studio. You can have weddings to any event designed and printed at Greenwich Letterpress. The best part is that all of their custom work is produced using 100% wind energy - no carbon footprint.

The store just had the honor of being featured in the new Taschens New York City..amazing for this small indie..and is a magnet for locals and celebs.

• Pros: Best paper goods/gifts and custom letterpress in the city
• Cons: so many items so little time :)

Most items in this homey card store are designed locally in-house and produced on high-quality cardstock in the old Gutenberg press style, with a limited selection of products from small presses across the country. The results are cards adorned with beautifully detailed animals and flowers, retro images and clever quips. The store is owned by sisters Amy and Beth Salvini, whose family has been in the printing business for almost a century, and they offer custom invitations, business cards, correspondence stock and announcements.
