Corduroy
Kid: Owned by an Australian, CK is a children’s lifestyle boutique featuring a comprehensive
collection of cool kids clothing (newborn to 7yrs), modern home
furnishings, toys, unusual gift items and plenty of quirky, other fun
stuff, including this rocket t-shirt pictured left.
Brooklyn Superhero Supply Co: Strive
To Be Boring and My Secret Identity black t-shirts. Secret Identity
kits, Superhero Supplements from Aardvark Brothers Brand, Strong vacuum
suction cups, mylar force fields…
Blue Apron (just east of 7th Avenue): Imported
and domestic hams and other chacuterie. The cheeses are artisanal,
perfectly kept and presented, and none are cut until you're ready to
buy (a righteous rarity and a practice only found among the best cheese
mongers). They work with very small producers to be able to offer
flawless ricotta cheese, domestic prosciutto that rivals Parma's, and
other products that are available almost nowhere else in New York.
Breads are from Amy's, Pain d'Avignon, Sullivan Street and Royal
Crown. Jacques Torres is a friend of the store and the best of his
chocolates are sold here.
