Ditto what Matthew S. says.
This place is RUBBISH.
If you want flashy lights, go to a Casino.
Honest Ed's is a giant, disorganized dollar store filled with all sorts of shit you would never want. Most of the merchandise is old and dusty. The food products aren't even particularly cheap, you can find better deals at Walmart.
I live nearby and I have ventured in numerous times when looking for something specific: "Oh I need a red spool of thread to mend my coat button, Honest Ed's will have it!!!" Yes - they did have it - but it took me 25 freakin' minutes, 9 flights of stairs, 18 corridors and directions from 6 different staff members to locate the bloody thing. (OK, I'm slightly exaggerating, but still)
Honest Ed's is ghetto. Trust me, you can see all the good parts just from standing outiside.
Oh, but it is fantastic if you want to buy a giant bust of Elvis. They have many of those.
