ABC Carpet & Home

A museum. A temple. A sanctuary. I can’t afford to buy a darn thing at ABC Carpet except for spiffy soaps, but I sure do love trolling the floor here, as the goods on offer are simply exquisite. You might find children’s furniture and bedding fit for Kate and William’s kid, throw pillows straight from a high-class harem, and all manner of delightful antique furnishings.  Alas, it's no longer as big a store as it was pre-pandemic, but the gift options here are still world class. A warehouse outlet is at Industry City; the offerings are a bit hit or miss there, but sometimes you can find real buys.
