This old-school Italian bakery has been turning out pastries, cookies, gelato and espresso using the same family recipes since 1976. Tuck into one of their little cafe tables and try the sfogliatella or cannoli filled with ricotta pastry cream.
Packed with playful 60s and 70s dresses, patterned sets, patchwork denim, and colour-block bags, alongside a charming selection of home decor (the glassware) and art (the framed midcentury prints), keep a special eye out for their ethereal selection of slipdresses and pristine, tailored wool coats.
In a sleek, gallery-like space, this independent label is a favourite for lovers of minimalist, sculptural cuts. Designed by Yara Flinn, the brand draws inspiration from architecture and workwear, translating them into pieces like tailored trousers, structured tops, and pieces that bridge masculine and feminine. Note the bohemian jewellery, including their semiprecious stone necklaces – all hand-beaded by Flinn, and their thoughtfully sourced accessories (Salomon sneakers, Mater soap, Loam candles, etc).
The sister shop to LEIF’s original Grand Street outpost, this women’s clothing brand is a blend of earthy apparel, accessories, and footwear, with the pastoral home goods the brand is known for. Between the gauzy blouses, linen throws, and swooping ceramics, it feels like a wholesome slice of upstate New York in the middle of the city.
This cosy, mystical boutique marries a beguiling mix of ’80s and ’90s apparel (the jackets and dresses have a slightly more tailored, glam feel at times – like shearlings and a slew of floor-length garments) with curios like crystals, incense, and tarot decks. A cheeky marriage of fashion and ritual.
