Elsewhere in the store, there were knickknacks of the riding life: copies of Dice magazine ($10), a sort of high-gloss art-cycle fetish title; technical gear, like a weatherproofed balaclava to wear underneath your helmet ($34); retro hand-painted decorative pieces by Tina Fino; T-shirts and varsity jackets advertising Indian Larry Motorcycles, a custom builder that has its shop a few blocks away.

Everything else had to be sold, thrown out, given to friends or put in storage — including the piano and the rest of the furniture, books, records, paintings, rugs, linens, plates and glasses, silverware, family letters, photographs and old Christmas cards, and all the knickknacks and bits of yarn and fabric that my grandmother, a devout hoarder, had saved during her more than 25 years in America.

The first thing shoppers will see is a life-size re-creation of a tiendita in the window (think a New York bodega) stuffed floor to ceiling with kitschy knickknacks made in Colombia, kaleidoscopic Bon Bon Bum candies alongside typical products of Colombians' daily life such as dishwashing soap; the Colombian sodas Colombiana and Postobon; hair dye; and TVs playing old Miss Colombia pageants, soccer matches and soap operas.

Some of Ms. Bove's earliest pieces, which drew heavily on her upbringing in the Bay Area in the 1970s, were spare Modernist shelves, decorated with domestic knickknacks and a highly particular cross section of books (Hermann Hesse; R. D. Laing; Betty Friedan; "Natural Parenthood," by Eda J. LeShan.) The books evoked a generally optimistic, open period in the counterculture, an interest of Ms. Bove's that continues and edges up to mysticism in her fascination with thinkers like Harry Smith and Lionel Ziprin, the old-time hairy magi of the East Village.

We followed dinner with a passeggiata past the glow of gift shops like Naiise Iconic (the Singapore-based store where you can buy books about the city, home décor, and knickknacks like luggage tags) and Supermama (another Singapore-based design shop with crafts such as porcelain plates); Japanese retailers, including Tokyu Hands, where I snapped up designed-in-Japan stationery; and global behemoths like Apple, which offers a "photo-walk" in Jewel for those who want photo-taking and editing tips for capturing the surrounding architecture, gardens and Rain Vortex.
