Spotted in Brooklyn: Superhero Supply Co.

A few weeks back I finally got a chance to visit the Brooklyn Superhero Supply Co. A simple storefront on a small neighborhood shopping street that just happens to offer Hero Quality Capes, Sidekick Placement Services, and Hideout Maps among other things. The inviting and entertaining staff will not only let you explore and shop to your heart's content, but they'll also show you the secret lair behind a false wall that contains...a writing/tutoring program for local kids. The store is a front for 826NYC which is a non-profit that is part of a national group of 826's which originated with the Pirate Store at 826 Valencia in San Francisco which was founded in part by writer Dave Eggers. There are now other 826 locations as well!
