Featured Store: Born Again Religious Articles


BORN AGAIN at 500 LaGuardia Place used to be a store fully devoted to religious articles and icons. Now three-quarters of the sore is devoted to crappy tourist clothing, but on the left-hand side of the store is three or four cases of kitchy religious items, mixed in with real antiques. I recently bought an brass incense boat (new, $89), but they also had an older tarnished one (@$250).

Born Again has Judaica items, Catholic religious pieces and Greek and Russian Orthodox icons. The selection is small but good. The store is located a block south of Bleecker Street and is also known as the International Boutique. (212)677-0705.
