Cool men's clothes and accessories.

One of Stevie's favorite boutiques in the city. They have both men's and women's clothes.

We talked about taking the LES tenement museum tour for years. When we finally got around to taking it with some visiting friends, we had to kick ourselves for waiting so long. Having both lived in tenement apartments on the lower east side made it especially interesting for us.

The Cloisters are an absolutely beautiful place to visit in the spring.

"The Cloisters, the branch of The Metropolitan Museum of Art devoted to the art and architecture of medieval Europe, was assembled from architectural elements, both domestic and religious, that date from the 12th through the 15th centuries. The building and its cloistered gardens—located in Fort Tryon Park in Upper Manhattan—are treasures in themselves, effectively part of the collection housed there. View 50 highlights from The Cloisters: sculpture, tapestries, illuminated manuscripts, goldsmiths' and silversmiths' work, stained glass, enamels, ivories, and more."
