Black Ink

Frommer's Review

The wacky wares here defy categorization, but they all fit comfortably under the umbrella of "oh, cool." Rubber stamps, stuffed animals, and offbeat books caught my eye recently; greeting cards, desktop accessories, and retro toys are equally appealing. Under the same management, the Museum of Useful Things, 49 Brattle St. (tel. 617/576-3322; www.themut.com), up the street from the Harvard Square location, is a festival of industrial design for home and office.
