1. Best New Bar
Pegu Club
You really can’t go wrong naming your bar after a sophisticated, vintage cocktail from the Roaring ‘20s. It also helps when the owner is Audrey Saunders, a world-class mixologist, formerly of Bemelmans Bar in The Carlyle Hotel. But don’t make drinking plans yet, Pegu is … opening soon.
Pegu Club
77 West Houston Street (between West Broadway and Wooster Street)
Tel: +1 (212) 473-PEGU

2. Best Candy
Little Flower Candy Co.
Chain-consume candy at your cubicle? We’re guilty, too. Before you pop another Werther’s, consider the high-end caramels and marshmallows at Little Flower Candy Co. They’re fresh, sweet, and inexpensive. Oh, and the Vanilla Caramels rock!

3. Best Big Watch
Montblanc TimeWalker
Late again? Of course, not. But with Autumn around the corner, a new watch would so complement that new wardrobe of yours. Make it big, bold, and Montblanc TimeWalker. For a mere three-grand, you’ll get beauty and brains. Available at select retailers.
