  Emerging artists dominate this contemporary gallery, but the real draw is the boutique up front, where you can shop a dazzling assortment of gift-worthy odds and ends. Sequin-embellished Moroccan textiles (from $700) give way to graphic Fredericks & Mae board games ($320) and studded sculptural vases in icy pastels (starting at $50). Peek into the alcove for a display case of Robin Mollicone’s neon-accented moonstone brooches ($275) and Abby Goodman’s animal-shaped sterling-silver rings ($95), or select a present from the gallery’s handful of limited-edition surrealist screenprints by artists like Inka Essenhigh ($350).
