Editorial Review for Bittersweets – by Lynn Suhrie
In Short
Despite the cheery, casual environment (think retro, fruit-patterned wallpaper, antique dressers, a coffee table and feminist talk radio emanating from the speakers), this Brooklyn boutique is home to deliciously dark jewelry, including delicate yet edgy necklaces, bracelets and charms sporting motifs such as swords, earthworms and vampire teeth. The store also sells an all-natural line of soaps, scrubs and salves in scents that evoke a more genteel era (such as English lavender).

Insider Tips
When to GoThe store doubles as an art gallery, with shows that rotate every few months. Call ahead to see what's showing.
The ExtrasLaptop-toting beauty addicts can try a Wi-Fi facial, and surf the web while trying a $5 do-it-yourself regime (such as a Papaya clay mask). Otherwise, sign up for a Friday "Beauty Night" to sample all the treatments the store offers (cocktails are included).
