A sophisticated collection of European kids shoes lines the shelves at this colorful shop: Tiny suede ankle boots, embroidered Mary Janes, sparkly little loafers and sporty sneakers come in sizes for infants on up to preteens. The store also carries a unique collection of imported tights, socks, and hats and, while the clothing selection is not huge, the quality of brands such as Tea, Zutano, Wonderboy, and Avocado is impeccable. A small toy room at the back offers hard-to-find games, toys, and educational items. At the front checkout counter, tiny tin pails overflow with wind-ups, erasers, miniature plastic animals, and kazoos. — Amanda Theunissen
