Synopses & Reviews
Nowadays, its possible to live in New York and experience the same old experiences that you would in, say, Indiana. Yes, you can now eat at Applebees, shop at the Gap, and buy your accoutrements at Nine West. But you would be missing out on Malias gorgeous lingerie, Spatials Brooklyn Handknits, and Hollywoulds astonishingly high heels. New Yorks little shops keep the flavor of the city distinctive and keep their shoppers looking fab.
New Yorks 50+ Best Little Shops is where to find those unique boutiques that are worth the visit alone. From gallery spaces like Spatial that include merchandise as well as art installations, to a place like Mini Mini Market thats like stepping into your older sisters bedroom in the eighties, to a pet store that hosts shabby chic cabana pool parties for pooches in the backyard, this City and Company guide explores the chic shops that reflect the quirky and diverse character of New York itself. Organized by neighborhood and featuring sidebars designed specifically to ease the tribulations of the shopper, this is the perfect (first!) purchase for those who just cant bear or choose not to brave the boutique jungle alone.
