An Emporium of Green: Sustainable NYC

by Alicia Lubowski-Jahn · 05/28/09

One of the best things about Sustainable NYC is that it is a little bit of everything.

This eclectic shop in the equally eclectic East Village (139 Avenue A/ 9th Street ) of Manhattan is self-described as an emporium of “local, organic, recycled, fair-trade, re-purposed, biodegradable products and gifts.”  Yeah!  And if that weren’t enough greening going on, they are also home to the Ciao for Now café and ongoing eco events and workshops!  

You might just find something you were looking for or there just might be something you weren’t look for that you find.
