Seen & Heard: A new souvenir store on Broadway

I ❤️ NY
D. sent word that there’s a new souvenir shop in the old Papyrus store on Broadway in the Woolworth Building (I was confused and thought he meant the one on Reade, in case you caught that). I am a sucker for that sort of tchotchke and I didn’t leave empty handed. Of course there’s nothing too surprising in there, though I have to say the personalized license plate key chains had an especially robust selection. (Nothing beats the City Store in the Municipal Building for NYC-themed gifts however.)

  1. New souvenir shops just bring tourists to the neighborhood, adding to our already overcrowded sidewalks. How will nanny’s be able to push by with double strollers while they all stand around looking at our tall buildings.
