I walked around the store the other day and picked out a few that I thought were cool.
Custom made straw hats from Cha Cha's House of Ill Repute- an absolutely cool summer gift.
Italian golf-shirts from Marbas - GOLFWEEK Magazine named Marbas #1 in the classic golf apparel category in their December 9, 2006 issue. This has dad written all over it!
Indigo Palms - Cool summer designs from Tommy Bahama.
Custom tailored dress shirts from Justin Custom Clothiers - This new line of dress shirts from Justin Anderson is exquisite. This was my pick for Dad. As luck would have it, the store has a special sale on these shirts. I was not complaining.
The store also boasts a healthy collection of suits and sport coats from Luigi Bianchi Mantova (Lubiam).
In the spirit of Fathers-day, Lou offers free boxing, gift-wrapping and delivery.

The original play calls for violinists but this role has been liberally opened up to local band The Nepenthe. "I wanted an indie rock sound, something that my generation can click wit …

Florence Foster Jenkins was in the elite member of society, but terribly eccentric and utterly convinced that she was a great coloratura soprano – despite the fact that she couldn’t carry a tune for even a few notes. She even managed to hold a sold out concert, even though she couldn’t sing! Sound familiar? Remember William Hung?
Jenkins’ story happened over 50 years ago. She would hold annual recitals in the Ritz Carlton h …
What could be more perfect to spread the news about local artists at the Buffalo Indie Market than a literary magazine that features works from local artists? NOMAD is a new magazine set to debut in January 2009 that will feature writers, poets, photographers, artists, and designers from the area. Erica Eichelkraut, a freelance photographer, created NOMAD and is bringing it to the public. Since Eichelkraut is a part of the Buffalo Indie Market, it wasn’t long before a collaborat …
