I am going to New York in the summer and I want to find some cute Japanese knick-knacks. Not just the typical Hello Kitty *O-M-G-kawaii-desu* stuff.

On my last trip I went to the Elizabeth Street Mall but didn't get much of a chance to shop -- I was literally dragged past glowing displays of Rement and cell phone charms. I'm definitely hitting that place again, but where else can I go?

I know this is a tiny bit out of place, but I'm not really big into internet forums so I'm not sure where else to ask. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. I am so grateful!

Also, is Flushing Mall any good? I know it is a Chinese mall, but I heard they have a purikura booth inside, as well as Japanese shops. Has anyone been there?
