THE EVOLUTION STORE

Depending on your tolerance for macabre oddities of nature, The Evolution Store is almost worth a visit in itself, catering to children and parents alike with an impressive array of unique natural history collectibles usually found only in museums.  Carnivorous plants, perfectly preserved animal skeletons, bugs under glass, fossilized raccoon genitalia, and peculiar seashells are just a few of the interesting items you’ll find. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and it may just be the only store in New York where you can satisfy those elusive cravings for candied scorpions.
