Why?

Hey Ill tell you this. I was there with froggie the other week and they treated us with nothin but respect. Showed us around and spent some good time with us. We did not even buy anything untill the end.

Are they pricey? Sure. But no one is forcing anyone to buy anything. In my books they are alright!!

Like my mama says - IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO.......

 

[herman]

Why?

Some people dont like the store. MR has nothing to do with that statement!!

 

[drunktank]

They were originally on 23 and second on the south side of the street, then they moved to the north side then they moved to the village, now they are on 38th street. What's remarkable is that they still have the same basic staff for all those years, very knowleadgable and very friendly people. They even call you sir! Plus they are immaculately clean and well stocked with beautiful hard to find fish. Yes they are expensive but so is everything in manhattan.

Not true, that was a different store and different owner. NWA was originally on 8th Street bet 5th & 6th Ave.

Just wanted to clarify.

Come to think of it, I got free stuff from them.....

New World Sucks They Treated Me Like I Was A Nobody Both Times I Went There And That Was 7 Months Apart From The First Time I Went.they Charge Too Too Much Also. I Rather Got To Petland Before I Ever Go There Again.

Though I can't speak for who owned it, I remember a fish store on both sides of 23rd Street, then the Village and finally 38th Street.

Edited.

Just to add on to what Steven said, NWA started on W8th but some of the people that worked at NWA also worked at David place, which was on 23rd street. So you may have seen some of the people working at NWA and got confused as you probably also saw them at the 23rd store. But they're 2 different places and 2 different owners.

i used to spend lots of money there till i met MR :biggrin:. first i started buying african cichlids then SW.
i still spend lots of money but dealing w/ MR members is totally worth it:biglaugh:

I've been to NWA many times and haven't had one bad experience.

 

[heuerfan]

Here's my opinion. Decent selection of fish/corals. Workers are okay, but the main problem is the owner. He is not very nice if you catch my drift.....

my 2 cents....
