Harkening back to simpler times, this general store boasts a mix of nostalgic items both new and vintage that will help make your house feel like a 1950s home, such as Roost filament lightbulbs ($10–$15), Transylvanian Images vintage loomed shower curtains ($210) and antiqued-linen window treatments ($120–$305).

Affordable baubles at Scosha

Australian artist Scosha Woolridge draws inspiration from her globe-trotting days, incorporating Indian and Brazilian techniques into her simple yet finely detailed jewelry ($25–$2,000) for men and women. At her namesake studio and shop, which opened in December 2010, you’ll find an abundance of budget-friendly pieces, including tiny sterling-silver heart rings adorned with black diamonds ($55) and gold-plated first-knuckle rings ($39–$144) featuring semiprecious stones. Start an arm party by stacking 14-karat gold-fill fine chain bracelets ($45) with colorfully braided waxed-nylon styles ($16). Dudes can get in on the action by scooping up bicycle cufflinks ($145) and thick sterling-silver rings ($119) engraved with the words me and you.

Under-$100 vintage garb at Antoinette Vintage

• Price band: 1/4

Lexi Oliveri may have opened this charming vintage-clothing boutique last May, but the FIT grad has been gathering inventory for years: Practically every piece comes from the personal collection of her mother, Antoinette, whom the shop is named for. Items date from the early 1900s (an heirloom costume cameo, $40) through the early ’90s (an Esprit floral maxidress, $60), and everything clocks in under a Benjamin. We recently spotted ’80s Lee high-waisted shorts ($38), a pair of ’90s Nine West leather pumps ($50), early 1900s equestrian bridle pins ($75) and assorted silver crucifixes ($60–$85) from the ’70s. Although the majority of the stock is womenswear, guys can walk away with great finds such as ’80s OP denim shorts ($35) and ’90s Hanover tasseled loafers ($40).

Breukelen Bier Merchants

• Price band: 2/4

Rather than celebrate the weekend with yet another subpar six-pack, swing by this hybrid brew shop and bar, opened by Renee Esposito, Denise Kubovic and Greg Golembiowski in April 2011. For $5 (plus the cost of beer), you’ll get a 64-ounce growler to fill with one of 16 small-brewery domestic drafts; the fee also acts as a deposit on the jug, should you care to return it at your leisure. Although the suds on tap change as soon as they’re kicked, summer favorites include lemony, Belgian-style Empire White Aphro ($13); crisp, fruity Bar Harbor Blueberry Ale ($15); and coffee-infused Local Option Morning Wood ($24). Enjoy your suds at one of the communal picnic tables in the back, or take it with you and be the hero of your summer shindig. Mention TONY to receive 10 percent off growler fills through August 29.

Eye-catching nail art at Primp & Polish

If classic French manicures have you bored to tears, drop by this chic salon and give your digits a major upgrade. Head manicurists Kieu Bui and Yang Ping accept walk-ins for services including stickerlike Minx styles ($7 per nail). Those seeking 3-D embellishments such as pearls and crystals ($4–$10 per nail), or hand-painted creations—half-moons ($50), color gradations ($55) and animal prints ($55) are popular requests—will need an appointment. Most handiwork takes half an hour to complete and uses gel polish as a base, ensuring your manicure will last upwards of two weeks.

Flirty summer frocks at Pop

• Price band: 2/4
• Critics choice

The dog days of summer make us want to wear as little clothing as possible, which means we’ll be loading up on breezy dresses at this women’s clothing boutique.

Bespoke men’s suiting at Brooklyn Tailors

• Price band: 4/4

After a fruitless search for a suit that fit his physique and personality, Daniel Lewis took it upon himself to create his own dream two-piece ensemble. In 2007, the California transplant founded custom clothing company Brooklyn Tailors along with his now-wife, Brenna, out of the couple’s Clinton Hill abode. The pair finally stopped taking appointments from their home last August, when they opened this airy boutique to offer affordable bespoke shirts ($215 each, three or more $185 each) and two-piece suits ($995–$1,295). Over the course of three to four fittings, the duo will measure and advise you on fabric selection (there are more than 1,000 to choose from) and fine details such as lapel width, cuff style and button placement. First-time clients receive their purchase in about ten weeks; subsequent orders arrive closer to six weeks, since your measurements are kept on file. Those who don’t have such patience can pick up the brand’s ready-made items, including cotton shirts ($150–$200), twill pants ($195) and striped neckties ($85). Mention TONY to receive 15 percent off all off-the-rack purchases through August 16.
