Dollar Moon

Dollar Moon keeps its aisles busy with everyday basics and a rotating stock of housewares, toys and cleaning supplies. Turning corners reveals reusable bags next to plastic organizers, while notebooks sit by photo frames and combs. Elsewhere you’ll find school supplies, cosmetics and party favors tucked alongside small appliances.

Bring a reusable tote—the address sits on the busy stretch of St Nicholas Avenue, between 171st and 172nd Streets up in Washington Heights. Parking is curb-side only; the curb always holds a few open spots if you drive. Ride the 1 or A trains and exit at 171st for the quickest walk.

The aisle layout mirrors the neighborhood—eclectic and unplanned. If you miss something the first pass, cruise the next loop: party décor appears later in the week, and new snack shipments spill onto the shelves on Thursdays. When you run short on dish soap, odds are you’ll spot refills the same day.
