I visited Rita’s in January while in NY for my anniversary. Picked up 2 lovely NYC themed canvases. They were so wonderful and nice in store and highly recommend them if you’re in the city!

They are the best. They will custom make any canvas that you want and will kit it for you also. The shop has been in existence for many years and they are very professional and easy to deal with.
