There's a great new resource for locating fabulous boutiques in New York and several other U.S. cities. It's at www.storeadore.com. It reminds me of Zagat.com, but for boutiques. You can search several different ways and even make shopping maps for yourself. It's great for planning a day of shopping, but it also saved me a lot of time when I was travelling and just wanted to find a shop nearby that carried the boutique brands that I like. I highly recommend checking it out.
