Search & Destroy*, Emma

“Like most things in the East Village the vibes are very insane. Whether or not you buy anything it’s fun to just look around at all the wonderfully curious items. I constantly ask myself is this store what I think it is or is it actually a sex shop, and they aren’t mutually exclusive as it turns out.”


Susan Alexandra Showroom, Olivia

“While Susan Alexandra’s beaded purses are worthy of a visit unto themselves, the shop’s curation of local artist products––from candles by Janie Korn to ceramics by Laura Chautin––displayed in a technicolor wonderful make it a stop worthy of the long train ride downtown.”


Vaux Vintage*, Olivia

“I found a pink mohair vest here and am now permanently indebted to this little room in Greenpoint.”
