All the shops and purveyos listed here have been hand chosen. They do not pay to be included, nor did we take commission. It is not AI or a Google search, but old school gumshoe. It is an editorial, independently curated list for people who care about such things: quality first, price is more subjective but we call it out when it is rapacious or unneeded. For the most part the directory is focussed on independent shops although sometimes they evolve into small chains. Or there might be a special reason to include them. First hand comments and reviews are welcome.
