BOSTON

By Elise Loehnen

Equal parts old-world-feeling and vibrantly young, this city is packed with preppy stalwarts and high-concept boutiques alike.

Good While in Boston on a retail consulting job, New Yorker Paul Niski happened upon a FOR RENT sign in a storefront – and he snapped up the lease on the spot. The space, fronted by huge Palladian-style windows, is just that compelling, and Niski has done a good job of ensuring that the gorgeous selection of gifts and jewelry inside measures up. Antique momento mori pendants are set beside old engraved cigarette cases, and beaded Chan Luu necklaces are arranged next to ink drawings from Patch NYC.
