Casa St. Francis is a Catholic religious gift store, but you don't have to be Catholic to shop there, just respectful. This is a good shop to buy a gift for a first communion or another religious milestone. Store personnel will help you find something appropriate. The store also carries rosaries, Bibles, small statues, holy cards and a variety of books. The store only has curbside parking but since 187th Street is kind of a quiet side street, this should be no problem. It's an interesting location--if you're there at the right time, you'll see the people next door working on teeth and dentures in the large picture window, kind of puts one in the mood to contemplate one's mortality.
