Such a cool place if youre looking for vintage posters.
Amazing find - Philip was incredible to talk to, very knowledgeable and extremly helpful. Extensive collection of posters and memorabilia. We will be long term customers...
I started visiting Philip Williams in the 80s in downtown New York - i found a treasure of vintage Greek and Egyptian travel posters - 3 of them by Spyros Vasiliou made in the 40s - i framed them and took them with me to retirement in Greece 30 years later - they are fabulous and Philip is such a simpatico pro.
Awesome place! Staff said it is the biggest poster store in the whole world, and hell yes. Although it results kind of difficult to look for a poster by yourself, employees are friendly and make the search a little bit easier.I also met the owner, this gray-haired geek that immediately denotes his huge passion and love for the store. Really nice experience, hope to come back soon.
Great collection! Would definitely visit again!
NOT THE TYPICAL POSTER SHOP.Pricey and very vintage.
This place is heaven for vintage art fanatics. The staff is extremely knowledgable and they have terminals set up throughout the store where you can search for names or genres, which makes sorting through the massive stacks of paper less stressful. Even if you dont have the budget for authentic vintage art, stop in just to look. Its beautiful.
A must visit in NYC. Just incredible.
What a find. This place is like poster heaven. Thousands of old world posters of any size and probably any budget. Most of them are not framed. Its really hard to go through the inventories as most of the posters were piled on top of each other. Need to spend a good amount of time if you really want to find something to buy there.
I came here to search for vintage posters and magazines - not disappointed. They had original covers and magazines in some instances - not reprints you normally find in art shops/streets.There is a framing studio just across if youd like your posters framed - Trilogy Photo Lab.
Huge store with plenty of posters, a bit on the pricey side, owner is very nice
If you are into vintage posters, Philip Williams Posters is where you want to go. The selection is massive and a rarity. Amazing prints that are one of a kind and special, they will truly be focal points in your decor. You can tell you are getting high quality here.
Fabulous. Lovely store that you could spend forever in time and spend all your money. Love this place. Just the smell is awesome. I visit this store as often as my walls and wallet will allow. 😃
Loved the variety of content. So many pieces and sizes to fit all needs and wants
Vast repository of posters from around the world. Its more like a museum. If you dont want to spend $400 on a huge poster, you can pick up some nice smaller ones for $40. Definitely worth a visit.
Very cool stuff , most of it out if my price range 300 Plus dollars for originals
Amazing amount of posters in a big space that looks kinda like an art studio. Vintage stuff, huge formats, good print and very high prices.
Youd be surprised what little gems you can find for $15 in their plethora of posters. And for those looking to spend $800+ on a grand decoration, this is the place to go. The owner and staff are all very friendly, they really want you to walk out with what you were looking for.
Not the friendliest staff, but a beautiful and vast selection of prints & posters.
Lots of poster from original (around 900$ a piece and more) to small nice replicas (around 15-20$). Travel agencies poster, french advertising, movies poster, everything is there
A visual feast of poster art. I dont know if there are any other stores like this anywhere. It feels more like a museum than a store bit everything is for sale.
A fun place to see thousands of vintage posters, Life magazines, opposed to cards. Mostly old movies, but also French advertising posters and War bond posters
Wonderful owner who is very helpful. The best place to shop for posters in the United States!
I used them for nice posters for both my barbershop and salon, a favorite for all my staff at Mike & Son Hair!!
Such a wonderful place to visit in NYC. It was one of the best shops: D
Fantastic store. Something for everyone as long as youre willing to look through mounds of prints.
Such a cute place, full of interesting posters old and new! Good spot to visit.
Huge place with tons of posters and pictures from old books. A nice surprise to run into
Great selection of vintage posters of all sizes.
Great place! Nice place to buy a unique and special poster !
Very expensive, very difficult to find posters, probably better to look at home on the web and come prepared.
Amazing selection of vintage posters! Not cheap, but extremely cool.
Fascinating star with that great poster collection staff was very knowledgeable and friendly
Unbelievable collection of posters spanning the last century. Though its difficult to browse in person, and the staff incourage people to browse the collection online.
What an incredible space and resource for quality art and posters.
Amazing place to browse and look at commercial art from the past 100 years.
Amazing store! The owner is super helpful too.
What a find! Thrilled with our poster and the wonderful framing job.
Huge selection!, but poorly presented, no offer of help or assistance, and very high prices for the goods available.
Amazing selection of posters to suit all interests. Almost a museum of posters.
I could spend way too much money in this place. So awesome.
I call dibs on the Japanese Godfather movie poster.
Amazing place with many different posters, maps, etc.
Great selection and good service.

Horrible customer service
Amazing
Good for tourists
Legitimate and reasonable
Cool place
Coolest place to dig on the shelves. Small posters for $ 15, $ 3 for $ 40. It takes a long time to find something for yourself, because there are a lot of posters.
A huge selection, posters divided tactically, in addition you can find cool souvenirs such as magnets. Different sizes, binding, in the middle of the catalog, you can order delivery
Great shop to buy vintage posters.
Huge amount of vintage posters and magazines.
Mecca of vintage posters!!!!! Great space...
There are a lot of posters you have .. The price range is a bit high, but Im a student.
A real junk of posters of all kinds: old, recent, cinema, old advertisements, etc etc etc. The prices are rather a bit high, but by digging a little you can find small pearls for less than $ 20.
Very special shop ... you can find many prints of all kinds ... even at high costs
A magical place. Thousands of posters, serigraphs, everything. Really nice. New York is New York and Philip Williams Posters is its essence.
Very beautiful and interesting place, posters of all types, ages and nationalities. An impressive amount of items.
A real gem
I like it .. It has an air of nostalgia.
This is a poster museum, which even has a poster for Dziga Vertovs film Symphony of Donbass. In New York City!
Vintage posters and reproductions for all tastes and budgets
Many cool posters
Worth a visit, expensive but you can try to negotiate
Store full of old posters. At all prices, cheap and very expensive.
A tidy obsolete but very nice to hunt ..
Magical place and from the past
Extraordinary.
Curious site of old posters.
Huge choice of old posters
Place with special charm
AHHHMAZING!

2022-01-24The place is incredible. You can spend the entire day there just gazing and analyzing all of the posters and art. Pricing of the posters is really good too for the originality and quality that you are getting. The owner has been doing this for over 40 years and he knows exactly what to have in store. Very kind, worldly individual as well. I plan to come back to decorate my apartment from floor to ceiling with large posters :D Highly recommended looking online if you’re looking for something specific, you can really filter to the T, countries, languages, movies, decades, etc. luv luv luv

2021-01-30THE BEST POSTER SHOP IN ALL OF NY!! Not the mention Philip, the owner, is so kind and knows exactly what he’s doing. You name any type of print, he has it. Make sure to check out the vintage magazines. Tip: Look online beforehand to get a better idea of the thousands of different posters to choose from

2021-04-09This place is packed with tons of posters and this is just mere fraction of Philips inventory. Highly recommended to look at postermuseum.com before going to this location of your looking for something specific. Otherwise, enjoy the awesome floor to ceiling views of awesome poster art!

2022-05-24Came today at 3:30, poster says « closed until 4pm », came back at 5:30, poster says « closed at 5pm today »… the pictures look great from the street (hence the 2 stars), but updating the timetables would help

2020-01-19This store is a real gem. The selection is mind boggling. I really liked that they had back issues of Life magazine - I wanted to pick up the issue for my dads birthday but sadly they didnt have it in stock. We did pick up some nice covers from back issues or The New Yorker, which I imagine will look even more beautiful once framed. They also do international shipping (handy to know as I was visiting NYC and could not fit a massive poster in my cabin luggage! The staff are very friendly/helpful and the full catalogue is contained online (but that still doesnt beat going down to check out the wares!). Highly recommend checking this place out.

2022-04-04I liked it. I would go again. Its a place to shift through a lot of posters and magazines, and while that can be a delightful surprise on its own, I would have loved more curation.
