MANHATTAN — The holidays are in full swing and many Manhattanites are struggling to find that last-minute gift for a loved one.
No worries. From top to bottom, and river to river, the borough is full of perfect presents you can buy without having to make a long trek across the city.
For the gourmet in your life you can give gifts ranging from bagels and lox on the Lower East Side to tasty SoHo-made cookies to Colombian coffee in Hell's Kitchen. And entering coupon-code "DNAinfo" will score you 10 percent off an online purchase at Urbani Truffles.
While you're in the East Village, get your favorite mini-New Yorker a snuggly winter hat from Bundle, or for their slightly older counterpart, a hipster-esque shirt from Jellyfish New York.
For furry friends, Canis Minor at 106 Reade St. has a colorful stockings for under $10, as well as plenty of treats to stuff them with.
For the person who has everything, $4,000 will get you a limited-edition radiator decanter from the Upper East Side's Nicholas Brawer Gallery. But there's no need to drop the big bucks, you can also get an original print by former New Yorker cartoonist Al Freuh starting at just $25 at Pageant Print Shop, on East 4th Street, near the Bowery.
If you want to give a holiday themed gift the Financial District's Trinity Church is selling "The Night Before Christmas" pop-up books and William Poll Gourmet Foods creates one-of-a-kind gingerbread houses for sale on the Upper East Side. Just this week, the gourmet institution that's celebrating its 89th anniversary, sent out gingerbread barns as gifts to a governor and "one of the top 10 leading male actors."
And if all that holiday shopping is too much for your toes, pick up a set of "Spare Soles Metro Foldable Flats" for yourself at Brazen Lingerie in Inwood. The tote-able shoes will save you "when your feet have had enough but you haven’t," says store owner Anina Young.
