  • American Girl Place

    Parents accompanying girls age four to 12 make a beeline to this store, the only retail outlet of the popular American Girl line of dolls. A theater and café (see The Café at American Girl Place) supplement three floors devoted to dolls, books, and accessories.

  • Women’s apparel with a bohemian bent and housewares gathered from around the world sell briskly at this loft-like store.

  • This branch of the Big Apple’s downtown department store draws together the latest cosmetics, shoes, jewelry, accessories, and men’s and women’s apparel in a minimalist, open-plan, tri-level space.

  • An outpost of New York’s hometown department store that features in-store designer boutiques and a well-stocked shoe department.

  • Amid the River North fine art galleries, Fly By Nite sells Art Nouveau and Art Deco decorative arts, including malachite jewelry, art-glass lamps and vases, and collectible pottery.

  • Launched by a former Ultimo buyer, Ikram specializes in high-end women’s fashion sold at top dollar. Chic wares and lines change seasonally, but shop assistance is uniformly personal.

  • Recalling the days of elegant steamships and grand hotels, this store uses old-fashioned suitcases and steamer trunks to lovingly display vintage china and silverware engraved with hotel and ship logos.

  • Paper Source

    This arty River North shop is part art supply store, part stationer. The creative selection of cards and small gifts includes handmade stationery, cloth-covered sketchbooks, and novel desktop accessories.

  • This massive four-story shop so thoroughly transforms itself from a store to a swell den devoted to Lauren’s to-the-manor-born lifestyle – note the horse and hound paintings throughout – that it warrants a visit from even the less well-heeled among us.

  • Oak Street’s toniest designer boutique, Ultimo carries a range of cutting-edge European and American lines for women as well as men.
