We started in the West Village and happened to walk by a new shop (just opened in October) one of my good friends had told me about. I had to stop in for a quick look and luckily the menfolk obliged. For all moms and moms to be you should check it out! Clementine: Extraordinary Consignment, Maternity to 4T. For pregnant stroller pushers, there is a short stairway down to the shop.

I bought 4 good children's, hardcover books for under $20. Score!

I love browsing through all the kitchen tools.

And that's saying a lot since we usually don't like to eat out for Italian.

We also stopped by McNally Jackson Books in Nolita, which is a very open, bright bookshop.
