So here are some of the places I was able to hit in my marathon morning free. I was beat trying to cram in all my favorite spots before I had to be back in the expo. I thought I would share them here...The first is the subway, love it or hate it...it can get you there....
I finally was able to revisit the Brooklyn Bridge...the last three trips to the city the weather would not be kind. If you have never done it, it is the best freebie around. Just start on the Manhattan side....much quicker to access the entry point....
Canal Street and Pearl River, the best Asian import store on 477 Broadway. Had to buy these children's rice bowls....couldn't resist!
So, this was my new OMG place....Sicis Showroom on 410 Broome Street....I thought it was a gallery, they have only been there two year (in Milan for who knows) and it was the most amazing and inspiring 4 floors of custom mosaic work ever!!!! It will get it's own post later this week...
Oilly, Anthropology, (some secret Santa shopping)........and then Lunch. If you are SOHO I love Le Gamin 132 West Houston Street....don't blink or you will miss it. Cash only. The food is great!!!! and they are sooo sweet. I LOVED my pine nut and sweet potato salad, $8...not bad for a sit down in the city......
ABC Carpet and Home on W. Broadway down by 17th. Not as resplendent as usual, but who else can meld eastern icons and western holiday motifs with such aplomb! They have 4 great floors, and don't forget the fabric in the basement.
Tinsel Trading Co. on 37th between 5th and 6th. I like M and J trimmings also, but tinsel traders has vintage finds, in the way of trimmings, ribbons, etc... that make it a fun stop
