Irving Green NYC

Gift shops in the East Village tend to skew either aggressively kitsch or aggressively minimalist—Irving Green NYC leans toward the latter. The storefront sits at 321 E 9th St New York, NY 10003, a stretch of sidewalk where the old tenements still dictate the rhythm of foot traffic. Onsite services mean you can walk in empty-handed and walk out with something wrapped, though the real draw is the way the inventory sidesteps the usual tchotchkes; think of it as a quiet counterpoint to the louder boutiques around Tompkins Square.
