A.P.C. Surplus Store
This discount outlet of the simple, well-cut Parisian label sells items from last year’s collections at 50 to 60 percent off (A.P.C.’s covetable jeans are the only full-price pieces). The stock changes every six weeks. On the racks now: favorites from spring ’07. 33 Grand St.; 347/381-3193. -
Sprout Home
Green thumbs are rejoicing over a new East Coast outpost of Sprout Home, a popular Chicago shop that sells goods for the house and garden, including melamine plates with paint-by-number scenes, ergonomic pruning shears, and beautiful cut blooms. 44 Grand St.; 718/388-4440 -
Marlow & Sons
The green-and-white awning announcing groceries, spirits, oysters gives only a hint of what you’ll find inside. By day, the general store in front doubles as a coffeehouse. After 5 p.m., locals gather at communal tables in the gourmet restaurant in back for pomegranate Sidecars and artisanal cheese plates. 81 Broadway; 718/384-1441; dinner for two $42. -
D.O.C. Wine Shop
Tapestries hang on the walls, and vintage spirits, absinthe, and more than 90 Italian wines are displayed on 19th-century desks. Tastings, classes, and a mail-order wine club are in the works. 147 Broadway; 718/388-0087. -
Dressler
Chef Polo Dobkin earned a Michelin star for his seasonal dishes like spring-pea raviolini and inventive cocktails inspired by local spots (try the Gretsch, named after a former guitar factory, and made from gin and cucumber-infused vermouth). Sculptors from the Brooklyn Navy Yard studios created the metalwork in the urban Gothic room. 149 Broadway; 718/384-6343; dinner for two $90.
