http://www.sportsauthority.com Sports Authority supplies a wealth of gear for athletic aficianados, and probably is a little slice of hell for those sedentary types who find themselves dragged into a space designed around sweat-inducing activities. Great for most games (think basketball and baseball) but for outdoors activities (think climbing and camping) we prefer Campmor. More >>
http://www.staples.com Like its rivals OfficeMax and Office Depot, Staples is a bland, utilitarian, big-box supply store that stocks a bewildering array of reasonably priced merchandise, from scissors to scanners. Tip: They sometimes have ridiculous deals on CD-Rs, so snap up a spindle of 50 or 100 the next time you're there. The furniture section is mostly tacky particle-board-and-veneer modular stuff and ugly 1970s metal filing cabinets, but they do the job if you're in a pinch. More >>

Tal Bagel has the kind of variety (knishes, soup, cookies, a fish station, a salad bar, many kinds of salami) that would seem to threaten the purity of the bagels, but in this case then H& H train of logic doesnat work. The bagels here are hot, chewy and slathered in the kind of fatty spreads that somehow feel very healthy (theyare not). Other locations: 2446 Broadway, 212 712-0171 333 E 86 St, 212 427-6811 More >>
http://www.conranusa.com I can't wait to get married, for love sure, but also so I can register at the Terence Conran Shop. The New York outpost of tastemaker Conran's international empire has all sorts of incredible things: cool furniture, excellent appliances, chic tabletop stuff and all kinds of daring objects that you can just scatter around your home.It's hard to explain the unifying theme, though there certainly is one: everything here is just, for lack of a better word, cool.

http://www.thomaspink.com It's too bad only English retailers can get away with calling themselves "clothiers"; it's such a descriptive word. Thomas Pink is truly a clothier, furnishing men and women with a preppy edge perfectly tailored, often exuberantly patterned shirts. It's the shirts that made them (justly) famous, but Thomas Pink also sells everything else you might need from head to toe, all of it nicely designed and made to last. More >>
http://www.tiffany.com Immortalized by the classic shot of a Givenchy-clad Audrey Hepburn, munching on a danish (yeah right) and envying the aother worlda behind those bejeweled windowsa|. The trademark little blue box has always been billed as the gift ladies love, whether it carries the ubiquitous Elsa Peretti bean necklace, Paloma Picassoas bold baubles, or the mother engagement rock of every golddiggeras dreams.

http://www.tourneau.com If you're signed to Bad Boy Entertainment, a day trader, or some minor European prince, Tourneau is the only place to go if you need a watch. They prefer them clunky and diamond encrusted, apparently, though if you're one of those people (and there really are such types) who swoon over Swiss-engineered timepieces and so on, you'll find plenty to love here, iced or not. More >>
http://www.tower.com Though itas not your friendly neighborhood independent, Tower is far from being the most evil big-box chain store out there. They stock a marvelous array of records impossible to find at smaller stores. Thanks to a very clued-in imports director, the Village superstore boasts an impressive rack of imports, ranging from the latest Jamaican dancehall to U.K. garage to the iciest reaches of German minimal techno. More >>
http://www.tumi.com Anyone whoas ever waited by the carousel at any airport in the world is familiar with Tumias perfectly designed luggage. Itas a bit of a bummer that so much of it is basic black (try finding your special dark Tumi suitcase amid the crowd sometime) but other than that, one really canat complain. The collection includes every conceivable shape of luggage, from garment bag to laptop case. More >>
http://www.benetton.com/portal/web/guest/home I get a warm feeling when I remember Benetton's 1980s heyday, when their clothes were coveted by all the cool kids in my class, and their shocking at the time, gentle in retrospect left-wing politics were the subject of much debate. There's not much of that in evidence now, or it seems silly and worn this many years on, but you can still rely on the United Colors (what does that mean, really?) for some cute, fashionable staples. More >>
http://www.urbanarchaeology.com This company started as an architectural salvageaand they continue as such, offering truly show-stopping pieces salvaged from many architectural wonders that have sadly met their doom. They also create a line of accessories and hardware inspired by classic, antique design that really puts Restoration Hardware in its place. More >>
http://www.urbancenterbooks.com The former dining room of a turn-of-the-century Villard house, this creaky shop attracts architecture students and European tourists. The store sells books on architecture, landscape, design, and urban planning. More >>
http://www.versace.com Yuck! I'm all for making a statement, but unless you're packing an AmEx Black Card and can spring on the couture, don't bother with this stuff. Unless you're a hip-hop superstar or a high-class call girl, chances are good that you'll look ridiculous in any of the heavy-handed looks that Donatella and her team have dreamed up, though the stores themselves are two of the most beautiful shops in town. The Versace aesthetic, applied to clothes, leaves me cold, but I swoon over the columns and crests, the silk pillows and lion's heads. Sometimes a dash of that over-the-top luxury is a nice pick-me-up. More >>
http://www.waterworks.com I don't know how they do it at Waterworks, how they manage to imbue the utilitarian (shower curtains, sinks) and the useless (brushed aluminum apothecary jars?) with such a strong sense of beauty and purpose. If mine weren't such a typical New York bathroom (hideous tile, peeling grout, low ceiling, and bad lighting) I would be tempted to stock up here. Until I get my hands on that Tribeca loft, though, I can daydream. More >>
http://www.williams-sonoma.com After an episode of Martha Stewart Living, we too like to open up the ol' Williams-Sonoma catalog and dream of all the top-of-the-line cookware we can purchase for our Cape Cod kitchen. Calphalon 10-piece cookware set? Don't mind if we do. Waring blender for $130? Hell, why not. But we stop at the monogrammed steak brand for initalizing our own ribeye and the $400 portable ice cube maker. At some point, there must be an end to the madness. aZAPPIA OTHER LOCATIONS: SHOPS AT COLUMBUS CIRCLE 10 COLUMBUS CIRCLE NEW YORK, NY 10019 (212) 823-9750 More >>
http://www.wolford.com This Austrian lingerie line is sleek, businesslike, and free of complicated, improbable underwear contraptions. Prices are a bit high. More >>
http://www.disneystore.com Full of colorful figurines, snow globes, videos, and costumes. Be prepared to be serenaded by abrasive, dizzying show tunes. More >>
http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/worldwide A classier, Spanish version of H&M, Zara sells trendy, inexpensive clothes for fashionable women on a budget. Business ladies should check out Zaraas suitsathe sleek cuts hug the curves better than Ann Tayloras. However, the menas selection of pants and shirts, often made from synthetic fibers, clings oddly and unflatteringly. More >>
