Kill Devil Hill, vintage housewares and clothing store in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, has only been open since June, but has already been named one of the Six Top New Stores in the country by The New York Times....

The praise for this eclectic general store is well-deserved. Every object in the store has been handpicked by Mary Brockman or Mark Straiton on one of their many road trips across the country. If you ask, they’ll tell you the story that goes along with it.

This is not shopping with a list. Go with an open mind. Not only do Mary and Mark have a great eye for cool unusual objects, but they are also committed to keeping things affordable. Mark's philosophy is that things don't have to be expensive. We couldn’t agree more.

I'm going to New York soon, as an election tourist - this shop looks right up my street - will definitely be checking it out!
