ABOUT BROWNIES PRO & SPORT HOBBIES

Our History

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y.-- There are not many shops like Brownie's anymore.

In an age when instant gratification is second nature, it seems that kids these days hardly invest time in passion projects like making their own toys. At Brownie's Hobby Shop, located on a cozy corner in Port Richmond, the art of DIY fun is alive and well. 

This makes them more than qualified to be Staten Island's "Best Mom & Pop Hobby Shop." 

​

WHAT WE SELL

OLD SCHOOL IS STILL COOL
The Brownie’s selling point: Radio-controlled cars, boats, planes and helicopters. Vintage reproduction classics — from cartoon themed cars to military ships — line the aisles of the shop.
Walking through the store is like walking through a time capsule — in the best way possible. 
“My goal is to keep that old-school flavor and feel, even though my parents are gone,” John says.
