Lady Of Grand’s Pick Of The Week: Amé Amé
This image has been archived or removed.
9th Street is a haven for small and sometimes eccentric boutiques, which I love rifling through.
Amé Amé at 318 E. 9th St. (between 1st and 2nd Aves.) is one of my favorites to pop into for some candy while perusing the outerwear. I am hopelessly addicted to their chocolate covered gummy bears (pictured above) and my new favorite discovery- cinnamon devil gummies. There are tons to choose from for those who are into salted licorice (who is Dutch out there?), chocolates, umbrellas and great Barbour jackets to prepare you for the upcoming seasons.
