From local pottery to movie theaters
Photo: Courtesy of the retailers Although Strategist writers and editors are highly skilled online shoppers , we also love shopping IRL. There’s just no substitute for the expertise of a shopkeeper, the thrill of an unexpected find at a new boutique, or browsing the sales rack at a pricey department store. Right now, of course, attempts to stop the spread of coronavirus have shuttered shops across the country, including the small brick-and-mortar businesses we love.
$52 at Norman & Jules Buy Film Forum Membership From $75 Before we had Augie, my husband and I would drop by Film Forum whenever we could, often multiple times a week. The curation was excellent, and the space, even after renovation, felt so classically New York. It reminded me of my repertory-cinema-going days in college, where my now-husband and I spent a lot of time together when we were first dating.
$90 at Judi Rosen Buy Nero Fur Mules $100 Sincerely Tommy is a small and beautiful café/shop on Tompkins Avenue in Bed-Stuy. I live nine minutes away on foot, and before we all got shut inside, I went every single weekend. Half my wardrobe is from there, and every time I wear something of theirs I get a slew of compliments, because everything it sells is special and mostly one-of-a-kind.
Note: Jenna’s Frank Lloyd Wright puzzle is currently sold out, but this attractive Dusen Dusen puzzle is still available. Nikki Chasin Sima Turtleneck - Persimmon Crinkle $166 now 25% off $125 I would also be happy to own this kumquat-colored top. Tuesday Bassen Women’s Sports Socks $10 Tuesday Bassen makes clothing in sizes up to 6X from dead-stock fabric in Los Angeles. She is also a fantastic illustrator whom I find incredibly inspiring. I picked up a pair of socks that say “women’s sports” on them at her Echo Park store a while back and to this day they are one of my favorite items of clothing.
$16 at Greenlight Bookstore Buy An Autobiography by Edwin Muir $12 Edwin Muir had the strange fortune of being at the center of some of the most traumatic and momentous events of the early 20th century. It feels like the right time to read about living through a historic moment. $8 at Raspberry Fields Farm Buy Bank Square Coffee No Sleep Til Beacon Blend 1lb $15 Bank Square is a deeply sentimental place to me — I’ve been going there every week for years — so to show my support in a tough time like this, I’m buying its organic, fair-trade, and truly delicious coffee for my machine at home.
$45 at The Break Buy #17VDerma Pibuwang Mask $4 I’m always talking about this place because it truly is so special to me. Oo35mm is a tiny gem of a shop tucked away on Canal and Mott, jam packed with all kinds of K-beauty wonders. If you love beauty it’s a must. It has endless sheet masks, is up to date on all the latest skin-care innovations from Seoul, and most importantly, has kind and thoughtful staff members who are always willing to help you find products that work for your skin type.
$66 at The Getalong Buy The Nashville Blanket Project Terra Cotta Blanket $65 When the tornadoes hit Tennessee in early March, the guys behind this brand were handing out blankets to anyone in Nashville who needed them. $30 at Mekelburg’s Buy Paper Wolf Designs My Life Would Succ Without You Card $5 Upstate Stock has top-notch candles, excellent lattes, really nice gloves and hoodies, and other comfy miscellany, but what I always come back for are its greeting cards. It’s so hard to find a good greeting card — but this place never fails.
$100 at Blk Mkt Buy Karen Iorio Adelson, senior writer Maman Nutty Chocolate Chip Cookies $40 I live a two-minute walk from the Tribeca Maman, a mini-chain in NYC known for casual French fare and Oprah-approved nutty chocolate chip cookies. It’s a great spot for brunch — I love the quiche and breakfast sandwiches — but the cookies are what I’m missing most during quarantine.
