I noticed on Gowanus Lounge today a story about Urban Alchemist and a link to their web site which is only partially finished.

The shop has been open for a few months and the members of the collective have worked hard to make a beautiful shop filled with beautiful things. The concept is as follows:

Conceived as part store, part gallery and part artisan salon, Urban
Alchemist has an eclectic mix of emerging designers as well as
carefully selected vintage and modern home goods, accessories and
furniture.

I like the combination of artisan wares, emerging designers AND antiques. That’s what really gets me in the shop again and again. Check out Urban Alchemist: 345 Fifth Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenue.
