Eat Gifts

A tidy jumble of toys and accessories for the little ones in your life.

The Scene
It's hard to take everything in when you first enter this partner in crime with "Eat," the Eli Zabar cafe next door. Predominantly stocked with kids' knick-knacks, every available space is filled without seeming cluttered.

The Goods
An impressive array of charm bracelets; beautiful holiday cards and ornaments; a variety of Eloise gear, from lunchboxes to pillows. Many items are on the small side--all the better to fit neatly into the space available. There's fun stuff for kids in the kitchen like Pooh Bear sippy cups and kid-sized place settings, and a selection of bathroom-brighteners like soap pumps in the shape of frogs and ducks. This is the kind of place where it's better not to have a firm idea of what you're after. Just come in and browse. You'll find something.
