While you're there, here's where to shop:
Jewelry boutique KiraKira has an eye-catching display of stones and a selection of feminine accessories.
The Pratt pop-up shop has a new display each week to showcase the designs and talents of Pratt Institute students, faculty and alumni.
Do-it-yourself lovers should stop by Stitch Therapy and stock up on supplies for at home projects.
If fashion is not your interest, there are bicycle gear shops, stores for pets and plenty to eat. Cuzin’s Duzin is a popular place to grab a snack and Anderson’s 1949 is known for a mean Chorizo Burger and Spanish style pizza.
