A&G Merch

The vision of David Alhadeff, owner of the pioneering design shop The Future Perfect (see No. 42), and his friend Jill Goldhand, A&G Merch sprang from a desire to create an affordable general-store-like experience for Williamsburg. Apartment-appropriate decor, like toadstool-shaped ottomans and compact couches, is on offer, along with a range of quirky housewarming gifts, such as mosaic-patterned nesting bowls and hand towels stamped with images of King Louis XIV. 111 N. Sixth St. WILLIAMSBURG 718-388-1779, aandgmerch.com

Alter

When the subject of Greenpoint, Brooklyn, shopping comes up, any neighborhood resident will, without fail, mention Alter. Its two outposts—one for girls and one for guys—face each other across Franklin Street, with loads of on-trend picks for under $100. At the women's store, look for Cheap Monday denim, Preloved dresses, and slip-ons by Melissa. 140 Franklin St. GREENPOINT 718-349-0203, alterbrooklyn.com

Bird

Jennifer Mankins, who started her career at Barneys before becoming the head buyer for Steven Alan, opened her first Bird in 1999, and over the last decade she has steadily established three of Brooklyn?s most compelling boutiques. Mankins has a visionary eye for mixing offbeat fabrics and textiles, positioning exuberantly patterned Tsumori Chisato blouses alongside madras skirts from A.P.C. and printed dresses from Jackson, Johnston & Roe. 220 Smith St. COBBLE HILL 718-797-3774; 316 Fifth Ave PARK SLOPE 718-768-4940; 203 Grand St. WILLIAMSBURG, 718-388-1655

Catbird

This impossibly cute Williamsburg mainstay is roughly the size of a closet—quite appropriate since it traffics in exquisite accessories, most of which are arranged in framed cases on the walls. Rings cast after ship helms by Verameat and heart- and dagger-shaped necklaces from Bittersweets NY are highlights. 219 Bedford Ave. WILLIAMSBURG 718-599-3457, catbirdnyc.com
