Cooks Arts & Crafts Shoppe

Cook's Arts & Crafts Shoppe, a family-owned business located at 80-09 Myrtle Avenue in Glendale, Queens, has been serving the local community since 1970.

The shop offers an extensive selection of crafting materials, including beads, yarn, model kits, collectible card games, and Warhammer paints and models. They also provide classes for various crafts, catering to enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels.
