ROCKLAND / FAIRFIELD. Every city needs a top-shelf men's store, and this is Victoria's. Brands stocked include Calvin Klein, Armani and Hugo Boss, and there is a wonderful selection of Bally shoes, ties and leather jackets.

DOWNTOWN. Rogers' is sweet in more ways than one. The beautiful store is outfitted with Tiffany glass and old-fashioned counters, just like when Charles Rogers first opened the doors in 1900. Then there's the candy itself! Even Buckingham Palace has indulged in the chocolate nut clusters, hard candies, and famous chocolate-covered Victorian creams. And world-wide shipping is available if you can't visit in person.
