Trying to find that one-stop-shop where you’ll be grabbing some latinspired Holiday gifts? Nope, not Walmart.

Fuego 718 is a small but packed novelty, decor and craft store located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Though it’s been in the neighborhood for nearly 10 years, it can be easy to miss this small, colorful shop nestled on Grand Street. Walk inside, and you’re transported to another world, from the papel picado decorating the entrance to the (super friendly) store owner, Alex, to the explosion of colors and textures.

Place where you can get tía an image of la Virgencita and get your newly-old-enough-to-drink cousin a calavera shot glass? Check.
