Spotlight: Tortola Salon
"We have three generations of clients," says Tom Kollar of Tortola Salon, which has been in the neighborhood for 35 years. "I've had boys as clients who I watched grow up, and I also do their parents and grandparents. And these are not young kids!" / 8 comments

Spotlight: Chambers Street Wines
Long considered one of the best wine stores in the U.S., Chambers Street Wines is primarily known for natural wines. "But of course the vast majority of our customers are people in the neighborhood coming in for a nice bottle of wine to have with dinner," says co-founder Jamie Wolff. / 6 comments
Spotlight: Sweet Lily Natural Nail Spa
"We try to be a nice sanctuary for people to disconnect, so we don't allow cell phones," says Donna Perillo, founder of the Sweet Lily nail salon. "Some people just can’t cope, though—and they’ll tap their phones with their nose because they can’t use their hands!" / 1 comment
