Cash or check only, but the only place in NY where you can buy a button from the revolutionary war period.

Visit Tender Buttons and you'll leave with a new appreciation for the deceptively diminuative detail that is the button.

The cutest little button store – a museum-like shop that’s wonderful to explore as they have every shape and color button under the sun.

Sick button selection, if such a thing exists. Expensive and cash only, though.
