The Bite:
imageDoes everything in your apartment (including what's hanging in your closet) make you want to hit the snooze button? Give yourself a wakeup call, and check out GomiNYC, an eccentric eco-boutique that carries a huge variety of eco-trendy items for every nook and cranny. Wardrobe yawn? Perk up with pair of superstylish, pesticide-free organic denim jeans, a flirty floral top, or a hand-painted, refurbished vintage locket. Kitchen ho-hum? Liven it up with vibrant bowls made from bamboo, a sustainable resource. Bedroom ennui? Revive with organic soy massage candles (the truffle and gardenia scent is divine). Since it's constantly stocking new and edgy eco-goods, GomiNYC is the perfect place to rouse your inner eco-diva.
Wanna Try: 
GomiNYC, 443 East 6th St. b/t First Ave. & Avenue A (212-979-0388).

Cocktail Fact

Gomi means "trash" in Japanese; the store's name, GomiNYC, comes from owner Anne Bernstein's love of turning trash into eco-treasure.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 Biters buy a pair of organic jeans instead of conventional ones, we'll keep the weight of over three NYC taxis' worth of pesticide-treated cotton out of production.
