Middle Village Frame Shoppe (MVFS)

Middle Village Frame Shoppe sits a few blocks off the Jackie Robinson Parkway, tucked between the neighborhood’s pocket parks and bodegas. A storefront frame shop in a brick-and-mortar strip is getting harder to find, but this one still carries the practical skills that once filled every block. Custom cut mats, (718) 326-5721 to check if they still stock the 8×10 gold-toned moulding you spotted on your last walk down 68th Avenue. Then scroll for the quickest route—75-19 68th Ave pins right to the shop’s doorstep—to avoid circling the parking lot twice. The block is quiet after four o’clock, so pulling in under the awning is usually straightforward.
