Little Italy is maintaining its rep as a go-to spot for gifty items and home accents. Shops we love include the ever-popular Vocabulary Boutique on Cedar and the newish VI Star (aka “Six Star”) on India. The most recent addition is the charming space shared by Love & Aesthetics and Tea by the Sea. The former, curated by Sean Cameron Barnes, offers a chic selection of paper goods, unique barware, and other edgy conversation-starters—plus an exclusive collection of Missoni home décor (pictured above), with chevron blankets, candles, and pillows. Tea by the Sea stocks haute kitchenware and tea leaves by Kusmi and other brands. We’ll take one of each. Please and thanks! 621 West Fir Street, Little Italy
