Mid-Century Focused Antique Shops General Nitemare (196 Columbia St between DeGraw and Sackett Sts, 718-858-8659), "Are gold mines for those looking for a furniture-makeover project.". -Alison Rosen

The Best Of NYC, 2005   Best Place to Buy a Lamp to Match the One You Already Have  - GENERAL NITEMARE : "If your pot-smoking uncle had spent the last 30 years hoarding old furniture in his garage, it would look an awful lot like GENERAL NITEMARE. This storefront on Columbia Street has more junk than your trunk, I promise. The store's colorful owner, Barry Jetter, died recently, and the store's fate is uncertain, but one thing's for sure—this is one garage sale you don't want to miss." -Emma Straub
