MZ Wallace

93 Crosby St., nr. Spring St.; 212-431-8252

Practical, functional, capacious yet non-boring, MZ Wallace’s styles are right for an era when pricey “It” bags are in retreat and simple; generous totes are the order of the day. Most of the bags are durable, weather-resistant nylon and come in a variety of colors, shapes, and prints (the Toni tote in ikat is $325). They don’t scream “fashion” but, more important, they have staying power.

Our mission this year: to hunt down not just the best but the best values in the eating, shopping, drinking, and general-consuming universe of New York. It’s quite the process, this, requiring eating and shopping and drinking (all in the name of research), followed by heated but civil discussion, and heated but less-civil discussion, until a winner emerges in each category.
