Where Do You Shop in NYC?

Like you...I know a ton of great online stores to shop for furniture & home accessories....such as the ones featured in this post! However, now that I'm in NYC, I'm wondering where to shop for items like these?!?!?

Ok New Yorkers, please give me your opinion on what stores you think are the coolest in this city. I'm STILL looking for a couple things & have already visited places like West Elm, CB2 & Crate & Barrel. Even though they have nice things, I'd love to add something unique to the mix of items in my place!

Can you point me to a few little shops that sell unique pieces? Let us all know where you love to shop!  I'd love to go by this weekend!

  1. Try Brooklyn Flea which is open on the weekends. You can also try ABC Home in Flatiron/Union Square. Here is their site, http://www.abchome.com/

  5. Have you looked at the book The Stylists Guide to NYC by Sibella Court? In the book she has categories for different types of shopping like; drapes and upholstery, kitchen and table, furniture and interiors etc. All the great places that the stylists go to pick up unique things.

  8. Hey Jen!
    I think you definitely need to check Brocade Home. I haven't been to the store, but I've been on their site and purchased those fabulous dining chairs. The quality is unbelievable. I would love to go check the store in person, that's one reason I want to come up to NY. Their pieces are unique and fabulous.
    Here is a picture of the chairs:

  9. Jen,

    I was just in Organic Modernism in Chelsea two weeks ago. It's definitely on the man cave side, but the woodwork they do is very unique.

    I'm a big fan of their white entertainment consoles.

  14. If you're looking for the standard Crate and Barrel, West Elm, Pottery Barn, etc. furniture, NY Craigslist is amazing. Every single piece I wanted was on there.

  15. I'd love to shop ANYWHERE in NYC. Always dreamt of pottery barn for some reason...think I've watched too many episodes of friends. LOL

  25. Fishes Eddy & Crate and Barrel are both awesome for kitchen/dining stuff!
    Muji is fun for organizing and such.
    Gothic Furniture has some great solid wood pieces... but the styles may not fit everyone. And last but not least- another of my favorite gems is Housing Works, the NYC thrift shops. I've found some great picture frames, etc and have been temped by so many great furniture pieces! and again- a lot of locations around the city!

  29. Mr. Goodwill Hunting is correct, Housing Works is an amazing place to find unique pieces. I have picked up so many great pieces from there. I like the one in Brooklyn on Montague Street (I believe).

  32. Take a trip over to "Find" in Brooklyn (it's across the street from Lowes). I bought amazing vintage light fixtures at this store that were re-wired and restored to perfection. They have a ton of unique & one of a kind furniture & home accessories.
