Children roam free and gleeful at this celebrated toy emporium, founded in 1995, that offers a kind of anti-FAO/ToysRUs shopping experience. Specializing in handmade toys and collectables, the narrow, mobile-festooned space attracts discerning parents seeking playful alternatives to Barbie and Sponge Bob. Toddlers may find themselves inexplicably drawn to plush stuffed animals from classic names like Steiff or a soft baby doll with eyes that open and close. The Dorothy doll comes complete with basket and toy Toto. For doll aficionados, the store carries a well-edited selection from Madame Alexander and the French line Corolle. For older kidsï¿½ Geppetto’s stocks offerings for children up to age 12ï¿½try the electronic GeoSafari globe, a range of craft and you-build-it-kits, and appealing, large-format books. — Carolyn Murnick
