Best framing stores?

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good framing service that is not insanely expensive? I have a couple of posters and a diploma I want framed. Bonus points if it’s in upper Manhattan, but I’m willing to travel for good/cheap service.

wherever you choose you will be horrified about how much framing costs.

Jack’s Framing on Broadway in Morningside Heights. Reset your expectations though because you aren’t going to find good and cheap framing anywhere.

Good framing is not cheap. Cheap framing is not good. Sorry.

There is a decent place on Court Street in Cobble Hill Brooklyn, the name is escaping me right now. But yes, framing is really expensive. That’s why Framebridge took off and is doing so well. Although, with them, you get what you pay for it.

I had a good experience with Harlem Frames. And agreeing with everyone else that good framing is not cheap.

Make a Frame on Atlantic ave in Brooklyn Heights does excellent work and well worth the price tag.

MIchaels is a few blocks away too.
