Dept. of Small Gems. Forget the riots over Tompkins Square park, the East Village is full of pretty things and people who just want to nest. Lancelotti Housewares is a small store that is blazing a trail towards home improvement with fashionable housewares for urban dwellers. MGR
Reader SG says: Lancelotti packs more desirable things of varing degrees of utility per square inch than any other homewares store I can think of.
The style is colorful, fresh, mostly mod. They stock a good supply of Mrs. Meyer's great smelling, cutely packaged, all natural cleaning products, Dwell sheets, wood veneer lamps and tons more. Lots of affordable luxuries and small splurges packed in from floor to ceiling.
Warning, the cornicopia effect of all this in such a small space makes you forget that these prices can add up.
NYMag says: The focus here is stylish New York apartment living.

I am sad to see the comments above but now that they are a year old I will say that things are really different at that store, which is one of my favorite in the East Village. The two guys that work there are really friendly, and help with suggestions on design and what is new in the store. It does not matter if I am going in for a set of glasses or wanting to know the price of the tables in the window, I am always welcomed with a smile. Where the prices may be a little high, I would rather support a small mom and pop store then Bed Bath and Beyond. And it is New York City, and the product is amazing. I will most definatly shop there again!
