Lucky Near You: San Francisco and the Bay Area

Our favorite neighborhood for truly amazing vintage home accessories has added a quirky new gallery on Vermont Street called Obsolete. The second location of owner Ray Azoulay's popular shop in Venice, CA, it's packed with curiosities displayed in the most crave-worthy manner, unusual original art, and a strange-but-lovely lamp selection. This powerhouse block--Obsolete's located right next to Blackman Cruz and Therien--definitely demands a visit.

411 Vermont St., 415-864-0212

Mon.-Fri., 8:30-5:30
