Within Five: Brooklyn Superhero Supply Company

UncommonGoods is located within five miles of unique community staples that are worthy of exploration. Every “Within Five” post will focus on a spot within five miles of UncommonGoods that dares to be different and/or does good. 

Our first focus is on the Brooklyn Superhero Supply Company (est. 2004), located 3.2 miles from the Brooklyn Army Terminal. The shop offers a plethora of products for the budding superhero, whether it's a cape, secret identity, or even a gallon of immortality (for when there aren’t enough hours in the day). However, the real superheroes can be found behind a secret door where 826NYC, a non-profit and free tutoring center, hosts workshops and tutoring hours to support students ages 6-18. 

The shop is open every day from 11am-5pm and staffed entirely by volunteers. Check it out!
