maybe this is true in all cities, but in new york for the more utilitarian things there seem to be areas where these items are concentrated. for example, the wholesale flower market (smaller than it was) is located in the 20s off of broadway, the lighting district can be found along the bowery...

although i have spared this post, i went a little camera happy at this gorgeous gardening spot located out in red hook, brooklyn. the liberty sunset garden center is very close to fairway, and even closer to steve’s authentic keylime pies (yum) as well as to perch! design’s small outpost...larry & jeff’s bicycles nyc: ...
