Picture Framing in Brooklyn
I need to get some pictures framed and I am looking for some recommendations for framers in the Brooklyn area. Thanks!

For real art on which we want archival high quality framing we go to Brooklyn Frameworks on 5th Ave in Park Slope. They do excellent work and have a good frame selection. But we need to find a more moderately priced frame shop for less serious framing jobs. Like I'm not paying $400 to frame a movie poster again like we did at Brooklyn Frameworks. If people have suggestions for just a really basic good but not high priced frame shop, would love to hear it.

Clinton Hill framing or art supply or something on Mrytle just past Classon. The woman that runs it is great and friendly and does an excellent job.

Yale Picture Frame on 5th Avenue near 36th Street near Greenwood cemetery. This is a major shop that has been around a long time.

Frame-It on 3rd Av Between 24th & 25th is a good place to take your framing. They have a huge selection of frames and mats. Despite their assurance that their work is archival, the prices weren't as high as I've seen in other places and the salespeople were friendly and really knew their stuff.

Make-a-frame
180 Atlantic ave
Brooklyn, NY 11201
(718) 875-6150
They've been around for a long time and they do a great job at a resonable price. They are located in the cobble hill/brooklyn heights area on Atlantic ave.

Second the recommendation for Make a Frame on Atlantic. We've had several things framed by them, they do an excellent job and are super nice and helpful.

Frame Me on 3rd Avenue Between 91 Street and 90th Street in Bay Ridge. She does very good work, and her prices are fair.

These are decent if you are looking to do something really cheap like a poster. They only offer plexiglass:

For a more high end choice (when you have original art that needs a really good aesthetic eye, and an understanding of how best to protect the art) check out Prints Charming run by Darren Von Stein. The store moved a year ago to 4th St nr the corner of 5th Ave. Darren isn't inexpensive but he's damn good.
