Oh, Sweet!

East 60th between Second and Third: Talk about a candy-rific block. Dylan’s Candy Bar, Serendipity 3, Betsey Johnson’s bubble-gum-hued storefront … Clearly it’s the sweetest strip in town.

Selma and Syd, the newest addition to the lineup, keeps the sugar streak going.

The boutique is decorated like every girlie-girl’s fantasy boudoir: sunny yellow walls, polka-dot fabric benches, chandeliers, fluffy pink drapes. The stock? Rare treasures crafted by lesser-known artists and designers from all over the world. You’ll find blown-glass champagne flutes, charming jewelry, cashmere baby clothes, and plenty of handbags.

Named after the grandparents of owner Alli Abrahamson, the store encourages its customers to create wish lists for themselves and loved ones. They’ll be on file whenever you or someone who loves you needs them. Whether you’re shopping for you, looking for a gift, or just poking about …

You’re guaranteed to feel like a kid in a candy store.


Selma and Syd, 220 East 60th Street, between Second and Third Avenues (212-486-1992).
