The guide says “Tous lovers” can “bear-ly contain themselves” from “scooping up” gold, enamel and freshwater pearl bracelets at this friendly SoHo jewelry “paradise” that hails from Spain. Customers add they love the “trade mark teddy” design and applaud the “interesting” pieces here for both adults and kids.
Out of a possible 30, Tous receives a 22 for quality, and a 21 for both display and service.
Surveyors say prices here are expensive.
If your looking to snack after you shop, the new Zagat 2009 New York City Restaurant Guide is now on sale in bookstores or at Zagat.com.
