Top 10 Shops
-
1. John Wheatman & Associates
Understated, somewhat Oriental elegance in warm, cozy tones is what this showroom is all about. If you’re not in the market for antiques or designer furniture, stop by for their subtle pottery or paintings.
-
2. Fumiki
Everything Japanese, from fine or rustic furniture, to gorgeous screens, to ceramics, both antique and contemporary.
-
3. Carol Doda’s Champagne & Lace Lingerie Boutique
Bodywear for women and men, brought to you by the infamous entertainment pioneer who brought topless dancing to San Francisco in the 1960s. Naturally, the emphasis is on risqué styles.
-
4. Tuffy’s Hopscotch
If you’re having your second childhood, indulge in a bit of the hopping game in the entrance lobby to this colorful shop, where you’ll find kids’ shoes, clothes, and some toys and gifts, too.
-
5. Worldware
This luxurious collection of home furnishings, gifts, and accessories from around the world is the love-child of an interior design couple.
-
6. Polanco
A sophisticated gallery of Mexican arts, featuring handmade silver jewelry, carved and painted figures of saints, as well as the work of emerging Mexican artists.
-
7. L’Art Deco Français
This is the US branch of a remarkable collection of French furniture and objets d’art from the 1920s to the 1950s. On display are extraordinary tables, lamps, ironworks, ceramics, glass, paintings, sculptures, and more.
-
8. Comix Experience
Comics with adult aficionados in mind: The Ring of the Nibelung , The Filth , Naughty Bits , Static-X , Peculia , and Automatic Kafka are just a few of the whacky titles awaiting you in new and vintage issues.
-
9. Forever After Books
Perhaps the funkiest used bookstore in the world. There are piles of tomes stacked on every surface, but amazingly, the owners know where to find just about anything you’re looking for.
-
10. Amoeba Music
Besides thousands of LPs, tapes, and CDs, there’s also a huge selection of videos and posters. A social event in itself.
