BOOMERANG TOYS
119 W. Broadway | Duane & Thomas
BPC resident Karen Barwick brought specialty and classic toys to Downtown two decades ago and is the neighborhood’s #1 scooter supplier.
••• My nephews were only interested in municipal vehicles — for real — and these are great for out-of-towners or locals. The doors work on the articulated bus. FDNY fire engine, $37. DSNY streetsweeper, $27.
••• For the little rocker: an electric guitar with steel strings, $30. Pair it with these books on real rockers. $8

BALOON SALLOON
133 W. Broadway at Duane
Tribecan Sharon Hershkowitz and her daughter Tiffany are four decades into the balloon design and delivery service, and have the wackiest toy selection in town.

••• Hunting for that perfect gift? Add the blow-up moose head to your trophy wall. $35 (No animals were harmed in the making of this list.)

BABESTA
56 Warren | West Broadway and Church

MY LITTLE SUNSHINE
145 Hudson at Hubert
The kids’ store (and hair salon!) has classic but modern threads and even more classic toys.
••• A graphic romper with a message that will make every parent smile. $115 for the one piece, $115 for the sweatshirt.
••• For the baby fashionista: a Birkin for $29 or Dior quilted bag, $34. (And if you are wondering about that shirt in the foreground, it is impossibly cute: smocked blouse for $182, and there are matching bloomers for $130.)
