This place is difficult to rate. On the one hand, it manages to cram everything a health club needs (even a decent swimming pool) into an area not much bigger than a single family house! On the other hand, it IS crowded, and a majority of the members seem more interested in gossiping than working out. Not unfriendly, but not a place where one is inspired to work up a sweat. It has it's charm, however.

For years, Dave's has been doing one thing right--selling jeans and work clothes of high quality at low prices. This may be the least pretentious and most proletarian store in Manhattan. You cannot beat their prices and you will leave with excatly what you came looking for. Dave's is easy to miss, so pay attention on when walking on the west side of 6th avenue!

While it's certainly not as hard aas it used to be, getting a cab in the wee hours in the odd corners of LES can be impossible. There is, in my exprience, noone who can touch Delancey Car Servioce for affordability and reliability. They will arrive minutes, or even seconds, after your call, and will wait patiently. A great service.

New York is a city of dry cleaners, so why does this one stand out? Simple answer--service. Rose cleaners does a wonderful job, but also knows its limitations. If a job will take longer, or will be less than perfect, they warn you, or even reccomend another place. If you need something done immediatedly they will, in most cases, make it happen. A lovely place.

New York has a lot of outstanding wine and liquor stores, but Gotham is probably, for its size, the best. The selection is superb, the prices competitive, and the staff helpful and very wine-savvy. Hard to find Israeli wines are their specialty, but wines from everywhere are available and, importantly, they don't stock much junk. You can pretty much grab any bottle off the shelf here without worry.

If you want to talk about cameras, head down to JandR, but if you want the best prices from people who will not cheat you, BandH is the place to go. NY's retail camera market is intensely competitive and, frankly, sleazy. BandH remains an exception. The only caveat is to come knowing what you want before you get there.

This bakery has had incredible buzz, and while it's great to have a place of this caliber in the nabe, it really is a touch overrated and certainly overpriced. The one item that makes a trip worthwhile are the cupcakes--incredibly delicate, just perfect, and a notch above even the famous Cupcake Cafe and Magnolia Bakery. Get in line for them

It's difficult to beat the prices and selection at these Village shops for coffee or tea. Routinely priced lower than competition, and the people who work here are, for the most part, very serious about what they do. A very good place to go if you are looking for rare teas in particular. Their Pete's Blend coffee is especially popular.

At first this place looks pretty depressing, but chances are very good that anything you want for a baby-12 year old is here--from the least to the most practical items. Prices are competitive,...
At first this place looks pretty depressing, but chances are very good that anything you want for a baby-12 year old is here--from the least to the most practical items. Prices are competitive, except for strollers and back carriers--for those it seems you can do better elsewhere. Staff are not that knowledgable, however.

The best pet store in NY. Great prices, outstanding selection, VERY pet friendly and helpful staff. This place manages to do just about everything right--they even carry hard to find prescription foods at the best prices and offer free delivery for everything. Great, just great.
Come in, look around, and bring your dog--you won't find a better store.
