The September issue of Sunset Magazine highlights seven of our neighborhood businesses in an article titled “Call it Etsy Ave.: A string of indie shops comes to Phinney Ridge’s Greenwood Ave.”
Author Jess Thomson and photographer Jose Mandojana highlight the “one-off boutiques” – most of them new – which have made our neighborhood home:
Assemble Gallery & Studio, 7406 Greenwood Ave. N., which offers all kinds of arts and crafts and crafty classes.
Chocolate Shoe Box, 7410 Greenwood Ave. N., which sells vegan chocolate and shoes (no, you don’t eat the shoes, they’re just made without harming animals).
Tasty, 7513 Greenwood Ave. N., a quirky art gallery with the coolest bobble head collection around.
Sasquatch Studios, 6108 Phinney Ave. N., which offers an amazing collection of hand-made clothing and art from local artists and Martha’s Vineyard.
Two Birds Tattoo, 7408 Greenwood Ave. N., where the two female tattoo artists specialize in colorful custom work.
Zak & Zoe, 7400 Greenwood Ave. N., with everything your pooch could ever need or want.
Rising Stars Children’s Store, 7321 Greenwood Ave. N., which has new and consignment clothing, books, toys, and kids’ gear.

The article isn’t on Sunset’s website. It’s more of a pictorial than an article, with a picture of each store and a very short blurb underneath. You’ll have to pick up your own copy at the store, like we did!

The shops mentioned are nice addition to the area. I certainly hope they can survive this stinky recession.

I wish they’d included some of the other shops that have been in the area for a while as well. a-muse and Strut deserved mention among many others.

re: Chocolate Shoe Box:What are shoes that don’t harm animals? Are these plastic shoes? And what kind of plastic? (if they are shoes made from plastic)
If an animal dies from natural causes, is it not O.K. to use its skin for shoes? Not wanting to pick a fight here, just wanting to bring up a discussion.

I wear leather shoes, but I’m not silly enough to think that they come from animals that die of “natural causes”.
Their shoes are made from all sorts of materials, including hemp, old tires, acrylic felt, cotton, bamboo, cork, and yes, plastic — recycled PET from drink bottles.
