2025 Antidote to Online Shopping

The Merrygold Shop

Browsing this corner boutique is bewitching: At every turn is a delightful treasure, be it a vase shaped like a hand, a bracelet full of vintage charms, or a puzzle that’s a work of art. But equally inspiring is what’s not for sale. Owner Sammi Bateman, an artist herself, goes above and beyond to create changing displays worthy of a Fifth Avenue window that will make you want to return each season.
