__NOTOC__
==Facade==
826NYC is located in a "secret lair" behind The Brooklyn Superhero Supply Company,〔http://www.superherosupplies.com〕 a store similar in eccentricity to 826 Valencia’s storefront pirate shop, and which sells capes, grappling hooks, utility belts (new and vintage), masks, tights, deflector bracelets, bottles of chaos and anti-gravity, secret identity kits, and more. Visitors to the store can try out capes for free in a cape-testing wind tunnel (essentially a series of fans on a pedestal). The store sells new and back issues of ''Timothy McSweeney's Quarterly Concern'', ''The Believer'', ''Wholphin,'' and other McSweeney's publications. The Brooklyn Superhero Supply Co. also carries a complete stock of publications written and edited by students at 826NYC including ''Trapped: The Encyclopedia of Escape'', ''Sonny Paine'', and issues 1 and 2 of ''The 826NYC Review''. The store front is literally a front for the charitable organization, with all sales going to the organization. The store employs volunteers.
The design of the store features many tongue-in-cheek signs and features, and the staff treat their products as real super-hero supplies, and visitors as real super-heroes. The secret lair to the student learning and activity center lies behind a swinging bookcase.
