And now the latest from Racked, covering shopping and retail from the sidewalks up.
1) Soho: Forget waiting on long lines to vote. Go to Babeland in Soho and wait on a short one for free silver bullet vibes or "Maverick" penis sleeves. Inspiring.
2) West Village: Ralph Lauren Kids has converted his old women's store at 380 Bleecker into a little nook for his children's line. Per Racked, "the store carries the whole Ralph Lauren range in miniature, like a $195 pea coat for a 5-year old boy and a $350 tartan taffeta dress for little girls. It's preschool runway!"
3) Windsor Terrace: Let the wine flow on Prospect Park West. Last week, Windsor Wines reopened in its new location on 216 Prospect Park West. It has an old stained glass sign above the storefront for candy, soda, and ice cream.
4) Soho: It's been lonely mid-block on Crosby between Prince and Spring since Gawker cleared out, but Björn Borg's boutique in the blog's former office space at 89 Crosby is almost ready.
