As we welcome students back to campus, we want to highlight some nearby (and nearby-ish) shops serving the SVA community. This selection of large, small, general and niche stores are all survivors of the pandemic, so stop by and give these shops some much-needed business. And really—do stop by. While all the stores below have websites listed, aren’t you dying to get out and mingle again?
