Bu and the Duck, 106 Franklin Street ( btw W. Broadway and Church streets)

.

When Susan Lane opened Bu and the Duck in 1997, she created a destination; Franklin Street was empty. It is only a decade later that Steven Allen and other fashion designers joined the Tribeca address.

Today, Franklin street is a must-visit for hip shoppers

Bu and the Duck is very unique, with its charming antique feel and a great selection of clothing (including exclusive pieces by Bouton), knits, shoes, books. 

Don’t miss Patron of the New (151 Franklin Street) – A newly opened fashion heaven with a sharp selection of upcoming brands for men (mainly) and women, as well as a small and fun range for children. Nicolas Andreas Taralis, Benoit Meleard, Ronald Pineau, Meresine.   Another cool store is the one of Gary Graham , with an inspiring ambiance as well as attractive women’s clothes and accessories.
