1. HIM Boutique
Back in my early twenties when I thought that credit cards weren't real money and I still maintained a white-knuckled death grip on parental financial support, this store would have ruined my entire future. I'm talking crippling, foolish debt that…More »

7. Koo-E Nami Royale Grill
From the outside, I never would have known how nice the interior of Koo-E Nami actually is. But entering through the Pete's Frootique mall, you're welcomed by modern furniture, a beautifully lit bar, and a warm space that could just as easily make…More »
8. Cucina Moderna
This is a cute shop filled to the actual brim with uppity kitchen nick-knacs that you probably don't need but definitely will want once you see them in all the bright colour options. I should know -if there were a school for uppity kitchen…More »
