New York City is one of the style capitals of the world. If you can’t find it in the “Big Apple,” it may just not exist. The largest city in the United States is also filled with stylish galleries, hotels, restaurants and attractions. Normally found on Cape Cod, Joan takes a trip down from MA to NYC to hunt out some great stores and places to see.

Gracious Home
Gracious Home has been outfitting New York City homes and apartments since 1963. They stock everything from sofas to pillows to door hardware. If it helps decorate your home, they probably carry it. We love their extensive selection of unique lamps and lighting fixtures.
DwellStudio
DwellStudio showcases colourful furniture and housewares from around the globe. The merchandise in the store is arranged in stylish vignettes that look something like a Pinterest board come to life. We particularly like DwellStudio’s varied collection of outdoor furniture.
Room and Board
Room and Board, located in Chelsea in the former Barney’s department store space, offers 38,000-square-feet of uncrowded furniture galleries and accessories. The focus here is on contemporary design. We love their selection of wool area rugs.
Nadeau Furniture
Tucked away in Greenwich Village, Nadeau Furniture is a quirky shop which stocks one-of-a-kind furniture and accessories, many of which have been recreated by the owners using pieces salvaged and re-purposed from garage and junk sales. Their tag line “furniture with a soul” is very apt. Make sure to explore their Asian-influenced furniture and accessories.
Tiffany & Co
The iconic Fifth Avenue store which is Tiffany and Co never gets stale. The three-level luxury jewelry and housewares emporium is most famous for its baubles, but it also offers an entire floor filled with glass, silver, china and other house accessories. Plus, the stylish mahogany counters and Art Deco elevator are worth the visit. Check out the cut crystal barware.

How to Visit from London
It’s easy to get to New York City from London. A myriad of airlines offer non-stop flights between London’s two airports and New York City’s three air fields. These include British Airways, Air India, United Airlines and Virgin Atlantic. Airfares start at around £360.
New York City’s John F. Kennedy Airport is about 45 minutes away from downtown Manhattan by taxi. There is also an affordable shuttle that connects the airport with Grand Central Station in the heart of Mid-town.
