New York's 100 Best Little Places to Shop - Softcover
Happy Shopping. NEW YORKS 100 BEST LITTLE PLACES TO SHOP is full of stores as quirky and diverse as New York itself. Its the guidebook for visitors and residents, out-of-town friends, and everyone who wants to know where to find the citys one-of-a-kind stores: stores that reflect a unique point of view, an intimate approach to retailing, and are only in New York, not in every mall in America. Lucky for Eve Claxton, she arrived from London and began to write about stores for Time Out New York. She got to know the city store by store. Stores are her landmarks and touchstones and here she shares her highly selective guide to 100 of the most individualistic in New York. (Hard pressed to limit the entries to 100, each one is followed by a while youre there... section so you dont miss any of the other interesting places in the area.)
These selections cover 50 categories and range from bags, books, and bulbs to wedding gowns, wigs, and witchcraft tools. They include everything from million collar couture, Jackie Os favorite scent, vintage American quilts, chic dog costumes, custom-made cowboy boots, Japanese fountain pens, collectible jazz records, affordable cashmere to chocolate cell phones, the revolutionary magic duster, and even a 200,000 year-old dinosaur bone.
From Nolita, Chinatown and SoHo through Midtown to the Upper East and West Side, this shoppers bible is organized by neighborhood with a subject index to make shopping pleasurable, practical, and easy for both tourists and New Yorkers.
