TimeOut NY gives top honors to Pearl River
Posted in PearlRiver on 05/01/2009 08:28 am by mchenFrom TimeOut’s list of “The Best Independent Shops for Global Gear“:
This massive Chinese department store was a pioneer in Sino-American trade. Thirty years later, its three floors, crammed with everything from sturdy woks ($10.50) and ceramic sake sets (starting at $14.50) to colorful paper lanterns (from $5) and brocade satin slippers ($13.50), includes nearly every Chinatown ware you can imagine under one 30,000-square-foot Soho roof. Hunting through mounds of origami paper and mini jade statues can be a time-suck, so fuel up on lychee candy and crystal ginger slices (yep, they sell those, too).

Thanks a lot for the link! Pretty neat!
Do you like the tins of tea more, or the rice bowls? Or do you have another favorite item at Pearl River?
