Uma handicrafts

A¹ neighborhood spot with traditional finds. Uma handicrafts sits at 60 E 65th St New York, NY 10065, dealing in wares perfect for collectors and decorators alike. Handicrafts wholesaler delivers alongside an old-school block of townhouses and co-op buildings, a quiet slice of Manhattan close to Central Park. Buyers browse linen, beaded jewelry, hand-carved wood boxes, even ceremonial brass pieces—each piece a fresh find rather than a duplicated souvenir.

Phone in hand? Dial 212-888-8888 to check stock or arrange a preview. Walk-ins are welcome, no appointment needed; the front door faces an east–west sidewalk that stays bright most of the year. Occasional sidewalk displays spill out front on Saturdays, letting passersby paw through teak coasters or embroidered table runners before they step inside. Neighborhood strollers pop in more often than window-shoppers on weekdays.

The real draw is the rhythm of the block. Six-story brownstones keep the street tree-lined; the lack of chain stores keeps things local. On a brisk morning you’ll hear delivery bikes before 8 a.m., then the hum of a single espresso machine drifting from a nearby café around 9. By early afternoon the sidewalks fill with parents and their dogs; the quiet Zen of everyday Manhattan washing over 65th between 5th and Madison.
