Ariane was interviewed by Bond Street – a site that supports independent businesses in New York – about her 3 favorite small businesses in the city. Independent restaurants and retailers have been a huge part of our business at D’Artagnan over the past 31 years, so Ariane fully appreciates their importance. Find out what her 3 favorite spots in New York City are in this post.

“If you don’t support independent businesses, things become imbalanced. We invariably end up with towns that look like homogeneous malls full of the same boring stuff. Without diversity, there’s no reason to leave your home. There’s nothing new or interesting to experience. To keep the interaction between economy, communities, and culture healthy, you must support the little guys.” – Ariane Daguin
