7 Best Places to Shop in TriBeCa, New York City

Proudly headquartered in Detroit, this World War II–era shoe polish brand has been relaunched as a company that builds handcrafted watches, bicycles, leather goods, journals, and pet accessories. Shinola's dashing TriBeCa flagship store also offers engraving, monogramming, and watch repair.

This flagship, designed by Frank Gehry, attracts both fashionistas and interior-design fans who come just to gawk at the starchitect's undulating, 25-foot-high, titanium sculpture, The Tornado. Miyake's signature style features clothes that are sleek, slim fitting, and made from polyester or ultra-high-tech textiles. This store carries the runway collection, as well as Pleats Please and Issey Miyake Eyes.

If you're serious about cooking, head to this specialty knife store in TriBeCa. Previously only open to the trade, it is one of the best places to shop for top-quality knives, cookware, bar accessories, and tableware imported from Japan.

The popular online shop also has this minimalist, loftlike, brick-and-mortar space in which to display its well-edited collection of clean-lined designer apparel in monochromatic hues. Unlike the Web store, though, this one only carries women's clothes. Brands like Comme des Garcons, Auralee, and Sara Lanzi are perennial favorites; there are also home-decor and beauty products on offer.

This Israeli-born designer worked for Ralph Lauren and Nautica before launching her own women's fashion label in 2003. Nili Lotan is known for her knitwear, drapey coats, and love of solid colors, all designed to be timeless and luxurious. Her line has expanded more recently to include jeans, handbags, and menswear.

Part spa, part natural beauty boutique, this airy little shop has high standards for sourcing its products. From Biossance face creams to Rahua shampoo, only the highest-quality—nontoxic, ethical, organic, all-natural—products make it onto the shelves. If you want to try any spa treatments, including facials and energy healing, be sure to book in advance. Side note: actor Naomi Watts is a co-owner.
