Kids New York - August 18, 2008
Salty & Sweet
PB & Caviar Opens
You’ve got an eye for winning combinations. Peas and carrots. Bert and Ernie. Dolce & Gabbana.
Which is why you’re bound to fall hard for PB & Caviar, the new Tribeca boutique that brings together clothing, home decor, and beauty products for women and children.
Evin Cosby’s shop (yep, that Cosby) is a carefully edited refuge for savvy shoppers of all ages. Plop your peanut down in the fully stocked children’s corner while you check out Lucky Wang infant kimonos, Baby Candy onesies, and handmade free trade toys from around the world.
And since she’s coloring so nicely at the kids table, you might as well browse the racks of Anna Sui, Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent, Melissa Odabash, and Public Library.
Who knows? You may find the perfect match.
PB & Caviar, 88 Thomas Street, between West Broadway & Hudson Street (212-608-1112 or pbcaviar.com).
