@JaumePrimero: my old block!! besides the fact that Comme des Garcons has incredible collaborations and great clothes, this store in particular has a very unique design. head west people, this is where its at!
Dave Silverstone: A big step up, design-wise, from your post-college IKEA and West Elm collections... yet shockingly affordable. Modern Italian design to fill your NYC pad right.
Yianni Garcia: There's usually a wait and the place is small and loud inside but its worth it for those banana cream cheese stuffed french toast and goat cheese pesto scrambled eggs.
