When planning our return trip to Ithaca, my mate found it a bit bizarre how bent I was on visiting…read morethis one particular store, but as soon as he entered, his heart fell in sync with mine. We had been playing the spy game that the local shops had rallied together for, and not only did she make sure we got our letter, but she tipped us off to make sure we could fully enjoy our game. Like the shop, she was an absolute delight. (My mate said that she seems like an older version of me, so excuse my bias. If I'm as friendly and personable as her, heck if I work in a toy store like her, when I get older, I'll be ecstatic.) If you're just looking for me to talk toys and not associates, trust me, that's golden too. We're both in the latter half of our twenties, but I think I lost two decades of stress in that place. There are puppets and trinkets and so many affordable toys that I left behind, opting for two rubber duckies to add to my collection. Reverse time and drop by to get yourself an ooze dribbler. It's hypnotic, like this place, and you'll be glad you did.

When I learned I was going to be living in a small town in central NY for two years, I never…read morethought that the one thing I would love the most in Ithaca was going to be a barber shop. If you book an appointment be ready to experience the ultimate barber experience (for almost the same price that you would get a cheap haircut in a shopping mall). This place is a spa for men, and you'll love every part of the experience from the atmosphere, a stylish high quality cut, great service, and even a relaxing hot towel. Alex is a true master of her art. She can do clean classic cuts, and exciting wild styles. The best part for me is that I barely had to give her any instructions. After exchanging just a few words she always seemed to know exactly what I wanted. My one complaint about this place is that the price is too low. Which means that Alex is always overbooked. When she is busy, you'll have to call 3-4 weeks in advance to get an appointment. I would have gladly payed twice the price for such a high quality service.

This is 2023 and Narrative Space is now almost exclusively a barber shop (they don't sell boots and…read moreshirts anymore). I looked online for a hair-cutting place that did both men and women (I am a woman). I didn't want a fancy-looking salon. Narrative has a lovely, old-fashioned look and feel. Their web site said their prices were $40, $45, or $50.00. MUCH too expensive, but I realized I was paying for ambience. My barber was Michael Clark. (One got whoever was free when you arrived.) I showed him 2 sets of drawings of the cut I wanted (front and profiles, the difference between the 2 sets being where I wanted the main curve to be: a little higher or a little lower. To begin with the outcome: The drawings clearly showed that the hair should be even with my chin. It ended up, in fact, 2 inches too short...... just below my ears. The cutting experience was very weird. On 4 occasions, he grabbed the hair at the very top of my head and repeatedly pulled it up and down, as if he were washing something on a scrub board. I don't know what on earth that was about. The way he was separating strands and cutting was quite baffling to me. There seemed to be no organization to it. Unfortunately, I was unaware of how short it was getting. I was focusing on it covering my ears. At the end, it didn't even fall nicely and I had to do some repairs when I went home. Unfortunately it was too short to do all the repairs it needed. He had paid no attention to my drawings or instructions. I knew what the price was before I sat down in the chair. This is embarrassing. I paid $70.00 for this cut.

The owner and proprietress of the business is extremely welcoming and talented. She has an eye for color and design. Her storefront is adorable, welcoming and completely snugged full of specially curated pieces, from mahogany serving buffet in deep grey to ragtime makeup boudoir in dazzling teal, the selection of items is sure to cover a vast array of palates. Not only are there large home furnishings, there's a wide selection of smaller decor. One of a kind lamps, hand made pottery items, vintage bowl and coffee mugs. Local honey & handmade beeswax candles from one of the oldest beekeeper in the Interlaken area are offered in a variety of sizes and prices, as well as soaps, candles and chapstick from Finger Lakes Soap Company out of Spencer VanEtten. A large variety of succulent plants in vintage dishes hand designed by local greenhouse Footshill Farm scatter about, the greens and reds of the plants creating a vibrant opposition to the beautiful muted and bright hues of the furniture they've settled upon. There's also season fair, as the holidays are coming upon us, handmade candy cane decorations and gingerbread ornaments that smell delicious enough to eat are ready to be put on the tree. The Christmas decor is also personally curated and hand chosen by the owner and is simple, yet refined. As it is a seasonal town & region, the winters keep many businesses closed. If you're in town definitely drop by to see if they're open, browse the selection. There's something for everyone at reasonable prices. Be sure to say hello to Lorie; the owner and creator.
