SoHo
Harvey Weinstein and Ethan Hawke are regulars at the Cub Room, and that’s just one of the hip downtown spots South of Houston, or Soho. Small boutiques like Jussara, APC and Catherine are surrounded by larger outposts of major designers like Plein Sud, D&G, Tocca, Diesel and Louis Vuitton. The interior design of these boutiques, with their polished hardwood floors and streamlined leather seating, seems to compete with the clothes for our attention. Fashion guru Calvin Klein seems to appreciate these stylish environs; he makes his home in Soho’s luxe Mercer Hotel, a boutique hotel that comes complete with a restaurant starring chef Jean-Georges Vongrichten.
All this star-gazing attracts droves of bridge-and-tunnellers on weekends (which start on Thursdays here), so be sure to shop and dine on weeknights or early mornings to avoid the crush.

Anna
Sui
113 Greene St
Outside, the streets of Soho may be brisk and
sunny, but inside Anna Sui, the air is dark, hot and close.

A.P.C.
131 Mercer St
Like Miu Miu, APC has a paramilitary feel. The
sleekly groomed, olive-clad staff look like designer foot soldiers for
some elite retail squad.

Calypso
Enfant
426 Broome Street
Manhattan's most stylish babes have flocked to
Christiane Celle's assorted Calypso boutiques, including the first-born
Calypso Enfant on Broome Street.

Catherine
468 Broome St
The first thing that popped into my mind when strolling into Catherine is, this place looks so Hollywood.
>Go to Store
Dosa
107 Thompson
Tucked in a miniscule space in Soho, Dosa invites
you to come in and feel the clothes.

Jonathan
Adler
47 Greene St
Who knew pottery could be so fun? Two years ago,
thirty-something ceramicist Jonathan Adler opened a 400-square-foot SoHo
shop that displays just how hip "throwing" pots can be.
>Go
to Store
Le Corset
80 Thompson
Stepping through the tube-like entrance of Comme des Garcons is strangely reminiscent of that scene in Contact.
>Go to Store
Scoop
532 Broadway
Spending the afternoon at Scoop is like hanging
out in the closet of your most fashion-savvy friend.
