WILLIAMSBURG: THE SPOTS

MOON RIVER CHATTEL
We have been going to Moon River Chattel for years. Moon River is modeled after a general store so there's something for everyone. The owner is a craftsman himself and finds great slabs for country style tables and novelty furniture. It's a gentleman's dream for trinkets.

SPUYTEN DUYVIL
The red lacquered door marks the spot. You'll find the best selection of international beers accompanied by your choice of cheese and meats served on our favorite, wood.

HOLLANDER & LEXER
Hollander & Lexer recently opened on Metropolitan and it is right on. They carry their own line of Men's clothes but have great leather products and Santa Maria Novella soaps and fragrances. The best part about the experience is they use a feather and ink for signing receipts. Make sure to stop by next door for their home products--It's a collector's haven.

MARLOW & SONS
Finally, you can't leave Williamsburg without trying Marlow & Sons. Even if it's just for a few oysters and a glass of wine, it's well worth the few extra blocks ------------------> way down Bedford.
