(Manhattan) Writing is a thoughtful art. It’s not something you should just bang away at, on a keyboard stained by lattes, the keys wedged up with wisps of hair (yours, we hope). Goods for the Study understands that civilized grownups own stationery and quality paper, as well as wonderful pencils and pens. It wants you to be the sort of person who writes a beautiful thank-you note, sketches poppies on Sundays in the park, and keeps a diary worthy of Samuel Pepys. Perhaps you are not yet a writer of elegance; you can at least climb that Everest outfitted in style. (234 Mulberry Street, or 50 W. 8th Street). —Hildy Johnson
