Nina Griscom’s well-documented life as an arbiter of taste in the worlds of fashion, lifestyle, and New York society, has served as a laboratory for her most recent venture—her eponymous store located on Manhattan’s Upper East Side.

“My Manhattan store came about as a result of my passion for travel and my true desire to edit and share the information that comes across my plate with a wider audience. My happiest moments are spent in markets, antique fairs and villages which support craftsmanship yet unknown in our country. I am constantly on the hunt for unique, beautifully crafted items and furniture. I can only hope that I have my finger on the pulse. That quest keeps me on my toes.”
