I stumbled upon this store the other day and couldn't be happier! I wanted to buy everything...they have great high end designer clothing at a fraction of the price! (Chanel, Dior, Kors, Gucci, etc) The salespeople are really helpful and sweet. I will definetely be going back. Easy location to get to. Always new stuff coming in and out of the shop. Clean, clean, clean. Head out there right away for a great steal.

Owner Alison Houtte loves to decorate Park Slope's corner of 7th Avenue and Berkeley Place, just steps from her nearby shop. And she does so often, using a jumble of barnyard bric-a-brac, a dress form in a party frock and sidewalk-chalk arrows that point the way to her store. A charming tactic, it draws weekend women of the neighborhood in droves.
Loud with a laugh and a compliment, Alison keeps her shop hopping with chit-chat and friendly flattery. She handwrites the coaxing pricetags ("You Need This For Saturday Night!") on her fabulous swing coats with fur collars, sequins-trim cardigans, flower-print minis and chunky pearl chokers. She stocks fashions that are girlie and funky all in one look--and she'll convince you that look is yours. Very high in style and quality, but with prices that know how to sweet-talk your wallet.

Housing Works is a nonprofit community agency dedicated to providing housing, health care, job training and other support services to people living with AIDS. It runs four well-organized, classy thrift stores that always seem to be a great source for high-quality used furniture.
The stores receive new donations every day, so it's always worth going back if nothing catches your eye the first time around. Framed Fortune Magazine covers from the 1930s are priced at $30 apiece, a round glass table set atop a truly zany bronze base is $165 and a set of four blue-and-red striped juice glasses run $16. Rumor has it that New York's rich and famous donate here often, and you could well imagine that Ivana Trump herself might have dropped off the two leopard print chairs going for $195 (matching pillows are $12).

Designer consignment at its best--sellers get 50 percent of the profits--this funky hideaway is often the first stop for shoppers on a day-long vintage spree. East Village label hounds drop off their designer cast-offs, then pick up an oversized Hermes handbag, almost-new Burberry coat or pair of hard-to-find '60s tinted sunglasses.
The labels are limitless, with racks that sound like a runway line-up list. Prada, Gucci, D&G, and Miu Miu have all come and gone and come again from the dramatic, even theatrical, stock. Helmut Lang shoes are here this morning gone this afternoon, but a pleated Issey Miyake frock or bizarro Vivienne Westwood jacket might hang on the racks for weeks, waiting for some love from its next adoring owner. A few no-name pieces make the cut too, if the owner finds them strangely appealing.

Discerning thrifters will take no issue with the bare bones minimalism of the plain metal garment racks and paint-splattered lino floors. What the store sacrifices in poshness it more than makes up for in its cozy organization, inimitably hip music, and staffers so open, fun, and enthusiastic that it's tempting to just hang out and bask in the warm glow of their auras.
Sort through yards of solid color synthetic-blend button-downs arranged in rainbow order, and jeans pressed to a crisp, arranged by size and style. The small Rags chain specializes in men's clothes at rock-bottom prices. Still, ladies will find plenty to love in the printed A-line polyester skirts, unisex leather jackets, hoodies and logo tees, among other timelessly cool duds.

Fun and crazy, just like the clothes. Sleek glass doors and stark white walls plus neatly displayed merchandise let you know you've entered a serious fashion house, but the friendly salespeople and vibrant colors make for a bridge-line appropriate good time.
The clothes may not be as delicate and pricey as Dolce & Gabbana; regardless, it is a favorite of young Japanese hipsters, rich teens and party people all over town. Expect bright colors, tongue-in-cheek graphics and tight and sexy silhouettes.

The men's Agnes B (handily just down the street from the women's, for those couples who dress alike) is spare, with friendly, well-dressed salespeople. French movie posters are on the walls, and electronic music wafts quietly through the space.
Subtle, nicely designed (and not terribly pricey, if you're used to shelling out the cash for designer wear) separates like no-fuss cords and suits with mod detailing, plus a hearty selection of not-so-boring basics like coats. Agnes B.'s signature striped shirts are here, in color combinations that will surely spice up a quiet outfit. We like the Agnes B Sport line--it's sort of the Frenchified equivalent of old-school sportswear.

This place is near my work so once a week me and my friends go and grab lunch. We all have menus at our desks so we can decide beforehand.. It as usual proves to be futile since the specials trip us up every time. We go in, eat our meal and are back at our desks in time. I think the service is great... the waitresses and waiters are always pleasant. The portions are large and well priced for the area. I would suggest the garden burger with soy cheese, the bento box and the vegetarian club. All are great. the vegetarian club is HUGE and will keep you full all day long. I haven't tried the shakes or the desserts yet but I'm dying to.

I cannot even begin to explain how happy I am to have discovered Zen Palate at Union Square, NY. Everything about this place is a pleasure from the delicious and diverse menu selection to the beautiful and comforting restaurant design. The food is exceptionally good. I have tried about 1/2 of the items on the extensive menu and have been surprised and delighted with each dish. The only down size is that there are so many delicious choices that I have a hard time deciding what to order. If this were not enough, I'm shocked at how affordable the food is. Keep in mind that I am only talking about the "cafe" part of the restaurant (there is an upstairs too which is supposed to be more casual dining and more expensive). The cafe downstairs is very quick-service but this is not reflective of the food which is very high quality. After I have tried everything on the Cafe menu I plan to explore the upstairs dining area. Anbody who complains that a vegetarian diet is boring and tasteless has not visited Zen Palate.

A devoted teany goer... love the teas, array of sandwiches. Was excited about their delivery to go that opened next door to them & delivers quickly to satiate my urges :) Was quite saddened to see that their "to go" menu offers only 10 percent off there normal menu. HOWEVER after ordering for the past 2 months, there now seems to be a problem at the "to go". Several times I have called & they can't deliver since their delivery guy is late or M.I.A. They run out of croissants now early in the day & I tried to order 4 times over the past week & they were out of whatever I asked for, wether it be the pie, croissants, muffins, ham & cheese. As well, their potato salad is like russian ruelette- hit or miss. Either crisp & tasty or completey watery, mushy & slathered with garlic so we have to throw it out? Plus, lately there is a fellow on the after 6 pm shift who has an attitude on phone, and basically sounds like he doesn't want to take the order, and sigh huffs the whole time & keeps asking is that all you are ordering when you have already racked up @ $20 worth, so the minimum is beyond met. Think the staff needs a swith cover. Their penne w/ pine nuts is always good, and the apple pie, blueberry pie is tasty when it is Fresh (delivery comes on Tuesdays), and their almond croissants are the bomb!
