Profile
The quintessential gift pick at No. 8a, the shop at the ultra-cool Ace Hotel, is a plastic snow globe. Give it a shake and you’ll see a tiny plastic bag floating among the white pellets of snow, the perfect encapsulation of a walk through Times Square. No. 8a is full of gifts like this, aimed at the traveler who loves design and abhors nostalgia, and the spot also sells necklaces made of Pyrex, which was invented in upstate New York, and an exclusive line of vernacular designs from the mid-Atlantic region curated by the Manhattan design store Kiosk. They have travel necessities like light-weight luggage and airplane books by British author E.C. Large—even a line of haute vibrators, for when you’ve forgotten yours at home.
Accepts EurosIf you’re into the No. 8a experience, you can visit its companion stores on the Lower East Side, Project No. 8 for womenswear and No. 8b for menswear.
