Oh! So I was at a party last night and one of the other guests #1 used to live in Brooklyn and frequently returns for social events and #2 has a 3-year-old daughter, and therefore told me, #3, there is a Superhero Supply Store in Brooklyn.
No for real, and he said when he lived there he was always sort of bummed he didn’t have a kid because a lot of the fun stuff is kid-oriented. But he was there recently and his daughter is old enough to find it all entertaining, and– THEY HAVE A CAPE PREVIEW MACHINE. You get on this grate in the cape you’re trying on and they turn on a wind machine!
There’s a secret door that looks just like more shelves, and you go through it and there’s a HUGE back room full of more wacky stuff!
There’s, like, fake cans of matter and antimatter, there’s…
OK why have I not Googled this?
In fact, it’s called Superhero Supplies. And why has nobody written fic about, say, maybe a confused Bucky taking it seriously, or Natasha thinking it’s really funny and buying everyone gifts from there all the time?
C’mon! I live 400 miles away or I would be down there like instantly, that’s so cool.
Superhero Supplies. In Brooklyn! Whaaaat.

All the storefronts:

826 Boston’s Greater Boston Bigfoot Research Institute
oh my gosh thanks for making this post actually *useful*. I just Googled enough to verify that this guy wasn’t shitting me. In my defense, I was blinded and confused by the adorable video he showed me of his mop-headed baby child in a cape in a wind machine, so– that was all I was thinking of. THAT’S SO COOL!
