Yar Mo's Muse
Selling a range of vintage and modern clothing, jewelry and accessories, Yar Mo's Muse specializes in mixing and matching pieces from among their vast inventory to create one-of-a-kind, head-to-toe ensembles that balance timeless elegance with nods to any of a kaleidoscope of head-turning styles. And "kaleidoscope" is no exaggeration: Yar Mo's merchandise runs the gamut from brightly-colored dresses in patterns inspired by West African mudcloth, to stylish retro pieces that look like something Audrey Hepburn might have worn, to unusual Victorian-era flourishes such as capes. A respectable range of menswear is also offered.

City Cycle
If you're in the market for a motorized bike on which to tool around the streets of Buffalo, this little shop in the Ansonia Center is the only game in town. At City Cycle you'll find some pretty snazzy models, all designed and built by owner Dan Thomas himself with a stylish retro aesthetic "reminiscent of the early days of Indian motorcycles and Western Flyer bikes" (to borrow the words of Buffalo Rising's October 2018 write-up of the shop). If none of the floor models strike your fancy, they'll even custom-design a model for you. Just don't show up expecting the utmost in friendly customer service.
Open Saturdays; hours vary, best to call ahead to ensure they're open
