The new Soho space replaces the retailer's original neighborhood location on Wooster, which closed in October to make room for the new store. Regulars will recognize the brand's familiar striped awning outside and colorful striped chandeliers throughout the store, but the rest of the look will feel new. The product lineup is very much the same, just presented differently. For example, toys at the front are grouped by interest with a musical section, imagination toys and cozier, plush ones on another table.

One of the four vignettes, or nursery layouts, lets parents imagine the possibilities.

Beth Guastella, giggle's CEO, was on hand for the store opening in late November. "The inspiration was to speak to smart, clean design, plus happy for today’s design-conscious new parents," she later told us. "We created four distinct nursery settings to showcase our nursery furniture and décor assortment, as inspiration to our customers."

The store continues to offer its signature stroller parking and you will find a bathroom and changing table available for tots. While there's no designated play area, kids can test out any of the many toys on display. Although my son is well past the baby and toddler days, I have to admit I still found myself drooling over the new style of highchairs and modern toys stocked by giggle. You'll be lucky to escape here without handing over your credit card.

giggle Soho is located at 451 West Broadway between Prince and Houston Streets.

The new design encourages shopping in a low-stress, pretty environment, making it hard to leave!
