New York Furniture Stores

Great for Gifts

1. Crate & Barrel

2. Moss

Neighborhood: Manhattan/SoHo

3. Pearl River Mart

Neighborhood: Manhattan/SoHo

4. Hasker

Neighborhood: Brooklyn/Gowanus

3. Pearl River Mart

Neighborhood: Manhattan/SoHo

on the cuteness of the packaging.  They also have a good selection of cooking supplies in the basement (bowls and stuff)....

4. Salvation Army

Neighborhood: Brooklyn/Boerum Hill

hours pretty much align with my working hours so I only get to go on Saturdays :(  The men's clothing selection is great -- there are just toooons of long sleeved button-down shirts. i can almost...

5. HomeCourt Furniture

Neighborhood: Brooklyn/Cobble Hill

I did not like this store.  Small store, small selection.  I saw a few interesting pieces but they did not have the furniture set up in an appealing fashion.  The sales rep was NOT friendly to me...
