TH COOLEST BOOK STORE IN NYC

PRINCE STREET between Lafayette and Mulberry.

As far as I know, McNally and Jackson Books is the coolest and the most stylish book store in the city.

Also noteworthy... They have a little cafe space where you can relax and read a book over a cup of coffee or tea. Awesome.

HOLIDAY@CAFECAFE

GREENE STREET between Spring and Broome.

@ Cafe Cafe.

Lovely.

BTW, I LOVE the people who work at Cafe Cafe, They are VERY fun and welcoming. I used to go to THE famous and ubiquitous, tall-grande-vinte coffee mega-chain every morning to get my daily pick-me-up. But I got so tired of their poor customer service. So, my morning stop is now at Cafe Cafe. Just to be served by fun and cheerful people makes your day get going!! Thank you, Cafe Cafe!

THE MARKET AND THE GREAT MEETING

MULBERRY STREET between Houston and Prince.

The Market NYC is the place where you can find adorable and yet affordable items from the young and up-and-coming designer of clothing, accessories and etc. Especially when I visited there, the place was very packed with lots of people trying to get the best deal on hand-made, fine accessories for Christmas gifts.

I love The Market NYC because I get to meet the designers. They are very humble and passionate about their creation. Of course I love to browse through loads of items they are showcasing, but I enjoy talking to each designer and where their creative inspiration came from.


By the way, I met this Japanese jewelry designer named Mai Flores at The Market NYC. Her creations are A-MAZING!!!
So I recommend visiting her site >>>>>.
