Destination Stores

I went to Appointments downtown recently downtown to view their fine pen collection and speak to experts to help guide my purchase. There’s no similar store in the city that I’m aware of.

What are the other specialty ‘destination stores’ people go to in town? The kind of place where, yeah, maybe you can buy the items online, but you’re better served by visiting the store because maybe you can try the item, speak to an expert, support a local business, etc. The kind of place that maybe has a regular customer base and you form a relationship with the proprietor. The kind of place it’s worth going to just to see it!

(And if you haven’t been to Appointments before, check it out next time you’re downtown. Tucked in the Netherland Plaza and will open your eyes to the world of fine writing implements.)
