Does anybody know of a place where I can get 14x22 Broadway posters framed at a reasonable price (in Manhattan)? All the custom framing places charge an arm and a leg! Thanks!

Try Crate and Barrel and Ikea.

If you can get to the BC/EFA flea market on Sunday the 21st, Triton usually has a table there and does framing fairly cheaply (like $20 for the glass and either a black, gold or silver frame, usually), with the proceeds going to the charity.

I got mine at Target. It is a little bit bigger than the posters, but than you can get some poster board and make a colored frame.

NBC - Triton sounds great. the $20 is w/o negotiation? Do they have stores or website as well (I tried doing a search online w/o any luck) besides the booth at the flea market?

Thanks all!

The website is www.tritongallery.com - I will try to link it below! $20 was a flat fee, if I recall correctly, from previous years, and no, no negotiation, but it was just straight framing, no matteing (sp?) or anything fancy. I can't guarantee it will still be $20 this year, as some of the other flea market prices have gone up, like those for photos with the celebrities. But whatever the price at the booth is, it is usually well under what they charge at the store itself. Which is on 45th Street, across from the Al Hirschfeld Theater. (Formerly the Martin Beck.)
