Time for Children
Prepare to coo: tiny Time stocks criminally cute clothes for babies and toddlers, not to
mention colorful books, plush toys, block sets, handmade cards and other treasures for the
under-6 set. Best of all, Time donates 100% of its profits to the Children's Aid Society of
New York.

Harry's Shoes
SHOES
Around since the 1930s, Harry's is an undisputed classic. It's staffed by gentlemen who
measure your foot in an old-school metal contraption and then wait on you patiently, mak-
ing sure the shoe fits. If your feet are killing you from all the walking, you'll find sturdy,
comfortable brands like Merrel, Dansko and Birkenstock.
