History
Alexander Suvino started East West Novelty after returning from a stint in the Vietnam War when he was 23 years old, in 1971. The Psychedelic Movement was more than underway already and as a resident of West New York, NJ, Alex saw the need to open up a shop for the like-minded people on the West Side of the Hudson River, who didn't want to always cross in NYC to shop. Specializing in Bootleg Records, Incense, Posters, Pipes, Jewelry and other psychedelic accessories such as Lava Lamps, and Black Lights...East West was a one of a kind shop with unique feel. Over the many years of business the store has expanded thru the building into 3 stories, as well as expanding its list of special and unique products and broadening the vision of what East West could be. 44 years later we are the 2nd longest running Pipe/Smoke shop in America, and the longest running one by a single owner/founder, as well as the most diverse shop in the country!
