Insanely Instagramable Soho Stores Can You Guess What They Are?

4 Instagramable Soho Stores within a 2 block radius

 

Everyone asks me how I find these perfect, Instagramable backdrops for our pictures.  And honestly, if it’s not through social media finds, it’s just from constantly being out and about in New York City.  We are lucky to live in such a fashionable, artsy, and cool city where visuals are created by the best window designers, street artists, and creatives.  Just walking through SOHO, a downtown shopping district will give you endless opportunities for Instagram-able shots for instance.  Here, I’ve listed 4 must-see stops for a quick gram-worthy photo, all within a couple blocks of one another. ‘Cuz don’t you hate those lists that have you hopping all over town? 

  1. Dolce & Gabbana Obsessed with the cool-kid culture of NYC and Millenial madness for Instagramable spots, designers, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana dedicated this former fire station into a concept store/clubhouse.  Every corner, every wall, every stairwell has a picture – perfect moment.  And we couldn’t get enough.  TIP – wear your leopard print(s) to best match the interior and get the most amazing selfies!leopard fashion, leopard print, minifashionista, dolce gabbana kids, dolce gabbana model, dolce gabbana sohoAddress 155 Mercer St, New York, NY dolce and gabbana soho, instagramable nyc, instagramable soho, soho nyc, soho shopping
  2. Prada Even if you’re not a fashion freak you will enjoy marveling at this 23,000 sq. ft. architectural Soho store designed by Rem Koolhaas.  Riding the circular glass elevator and changing in the translucent dressing rooms that turn opaque at the touch of a button, will make you feel like you’ve transported yourself to the future.  Definitely worth a stop and a shop!

No but really, just check out this space.  Plus there’s a flower wall up front right now and what Instagram-er doesn’t love posing in front of that??          Address – 98 Greene St.
  4. Tiffany’s latest NYC store is just as dazzling as its diamonds.  Enveloped in the famous Tiffany blue, you’re also surrounded by inter-connected, botanical patterns reminiscent of a tiffany lamp (see below).

 If you’re not too distracted by the sparkle and glitz, you’ll want to make sure to prop yourself down for a photogenic photo on these gorgeous couches and pretend for a moment that you live there. tiffany store, tiffany blue, shopping sohoimages from Architectural Digest

The Egg House, an EGG-cellent way to Brighten Up Your Day

Juliet and I love NY for its cool pop-ups, and artsy installations so when Egg House announced its arrival to the Lower East Side, we bought tickets, skipped a bit of school and enjoyed a mommy and me day out!  (I know… I win the coolest mom ever award, right?  She’s only in PreK people..missing a couple hours won’t hurt her).   The egg-sthetic inside included bright yellow, and whites and every room, wall, and corner had an Instagram-able moment to enjoy.

BiuBiu Xu, the founder and visionary behind this artsy pop-up says that the egg-theme was inspired by Xu’s fascination with New York City brunch culture.   “We believe in the familiarity and universality that eggs bring to people, therefore we created an imaginary place where people can momentarily escape to and share the love of eggs.”  The sunny – side up egg actually inspired the look and feel for the pop-up.  And it sure left US feeling sunny – side – up!

As you can see, we really had a ball!

“Last one in is a rotten egg!” was written by the ball pit and was one of the many cute egg-centric sayings found within the space.

Some even inspired silly poses.

We loved all the details.  Did you know that Juliet used to sleep with a whisk, she loved it so much?? Random.  I know.  So here she is posing with her favorite kitchen utensil and an egg stuffie that she brought from home lol.

TheEGG-xperience is open from April 7th to May 21st.  General admission is $18 for adults (kids 3 and under are free), and kids 4-10 are $12.  It’s really worth it in my opinion because compared to the free pop-ups, this one with the timed tickets, felt calm and collected instead of overwhelming and crowded.  There were 6 Instagrammable installations, each with little to no wait time, and though the website said people mostly spend around 45 minutes there, we happily spent a whopping 1.5 hours there having an EGG-cellent time!

Also unlike the other free pop-ups, there really was no pressure to move from station to station.  You could lounge in an egg chair, eat your egg-themed dessert from one of their partner egg vendors (Think Eggloo for instance), play in the ball pit til your kids got tired of it and go back and forth from first station to the last in any order you wanted.  Nothing was timed and the vibe was fun and playful.

For more details see our IG story now while it lasts or visit @TheEggHouse.  They’re heading to LA and Shanghai next!! So catch it while you can!

Family tips:

  • strollers are not allowed inside
  • there is a great playground a block away
  • no public restroom on-site
  • wear yellow for even brighter, matchy photos!
