Mollusk Surf Shop- This surf shop is for all those Rockaway-bound New Yorkers looking to catch the perfect wave. The graffiti-adorned sister store of the famed San Francisco surf shop opts for hand-shaped boards by top local and California craftsmen like Manny Caro, Chris Christensen and Rich Pavel. instead of the cheap, mass-produced fare prevalent in today's waters. There's also a wide array of wetsuits, stylish cotton T-shirts, surf literature and just about anything else city slickers need to get ready for their own endless summers.

Live with Animals Gallery- about their current show:
The Center of the Earth is an exhibit of over one hundred of Panacea Theriac's puppets from live shows and movies, and also some nature paintings. They represent a complicated parallel universe that is governed by large mysterious entities living in the center of the earth who boss everyone around. From the mean witch Christy Corn Pop, Dusty and Treasure, to Captain Dream Weaver and the Happy Tree! These are not works of art, they are busy portholes. The exhibition will include a live puppet show "The Mystery at Squirrel Ranch" on the opening night and the films Trixie and the Treetrunks, North Pole Nutrias, and Electric Swamp will be shown throughout the month. Panacea Theriac is also known as Miss Pussycat of Quintron and Miss Pussycat, a musical experience. She does puppet shows in rock clubs all over the world and lives at the Spellcaster Lodge in New Orleans , LA .
