NEW & PREVIOUSLY OWNED BOOKS

Walking distance from Chartier: 1 minute

Why we love them: The wide selection of books packed into this cozy space means that there is something there for every reader, and the variety of both new and previously owned books means that they can fit every budget too. There’s also a “take one leave one” puzzle shelf, and the staff are the kindest humans on earth.

VIRTU BOUTIQUE

WOMEN’S FASHION

Walking distance from Chartier: 2 minutes

Why we love them: Owner Deanna Fitzmaurice is a style icon, and she generously shares her keen eye for fashion with her expertly trained team and every single person that comes in the doors. You don’t need to know what you’re looking for when you visit Virtu, you just need to share how you want to feel with the team of stylists and they somehow ALWAYS find the exact perfect thing….and can show you 18 different ways to wear it. They’re magicians (incredibly well dressed ones, that is).

Fave purchase: Anything from the “C’est Moi” bamboo collection
