The Brooklyn Flea is another treasure trove of odd finds, cool artifacts, and handmade goodness. If you're looking for inspiration or just something cool to hang on your wall, you can probably find something here. And if all that treasure hunting leaves you hungry, you are in luck--there's a delicious assortment of local food vendors and artisans there too.

Great mid-eastern food in Chelsea/Flatiron/NoMad/whatever you call that area.

A still stunning space, harking back to the 1990s NYC that had fantastic, tasteful boutiques.

One of my favorite shops in NY, very well curated…  clothes, furniture, ceramics, great things.  Constantly showing new pieces.

A well-curated vintage movie poster store. Smart and friendly staff.
