Dan's Parents' House, a vintage toy shop on City Island, was born out of necessity and evolved into a passion project for owners Dan Treiber and Reina Mia Brill. Initially starting by selling childhood toys from an attic as a joke, they discovered a strong market for vintage collectibles. The shop serves not only as a retail space but as a communal hub where nostalgia thrives. It's a reminder that in an ever-changing world, the joy of cherished childhood memories remains constant and significant.
"I often have to crouch down and look at the store from a child's perspective. When you think about it, if you're this big, how big everything looks stacked on top of everything else."
"Reina and I bought my childhood home from my parents, and we couldn't afford said house, but I wanted the house. So as a joke, we started selling toys from the attic at the Brooklyn Flea Market."
"It's the best accident that's ever happened to us."
"In a world that is constantly changing, the quirky small business is a beautiful reminder that some things, like the joy of finding a long-lost piece of childhood, are timeless."
