With Chaka Khan tunes in the background, velvet chairs, and a well-stocked bar spanning the lower level, it’s hard not to feel at home in this pint-size boutique. The hypercurated spot is a blend of up-and-coming talent (Kris Van Assche), cult favorites (Veronique Branquinho), and new international labels like Antonio Azzulo making their debut exclusively with the store. Former attorney Matthew Simon (he worked in operations for the Knicks) and former Bloomingdale’s buyer Philip Silverman have done a subtle, smart job of mixing interesting fashion pieces�Spurr’s $2,850 leather jacket�with unintimidating basics like a plain blue Tim Hamilton button-down. — Aja Mangum
