Any stores left in Manhattan?

I’m up in the Big Apple for the next couple of days and thought I’d visit Garrett Wade–moved to Ohio–or Tools for Working Wood–just moved to Brooklyn.

Are there any good woodworking stores left in Manhattan?

Brooklyn is still in NYC. You can get to Tools for Working Wood by subway. If you walk a few blocks to the D or N express trains (on 6th ave in midtown--which has street signs labeled Avenue of the Americas) you won't have to change trains. Detailed directions are on the web pages. Limited hours how ever.

It's amazing how most of us don't think about subways and such. We drive everywhere (Puget Sound, island and peninsula). I once attended a conference in Columbus, OH and took a spin-off vacation in DC. Arranged for a rental car in advance, got to my hotel and discovered I had absolutely no need for the rental car. Everything was easily accessible by Metrorail (comfortable, clean) simply by walking two blocks from the hotel.forestgirl -- you can take the girl out of the forest, but you can't take the forest out of the girl ;-)
