Another lovely article about Saint Seneca

Locally made gifts at Ridgewood boutique  BY MARIA GOTAY editorial@ridgewoodtimes.com @RidgewoodTimes   If you’ve walked down Cypress Avenue in Ridgewood lately, you might have noticed a cute little storefront between Putnam Avenue and Madison Street. Saint Seneca, an aptly named verbal sandwich of the two trendy Ridgewood Avenues Cypress lays in between (St. Nicholas and Seneca), is the neighborhood’s newest and best maker’s boutique, featuring handcrafted goods from artists in Ridgewood and beyond. Saint Seneca is the brainchild of Yuka Anziano, a longtime Ridgewood resident who dreamed of being able to share the treasures of the neighborhood’s artists in a curated space. Saint Seneca opened in November, adding to the list of new businesses that make Ridgewood a place to...

Bridal Registry? Why knot! (get it?)

I had the lovely experience meeting a very sweet, newly engaged couple (Pita & Cam) who wondered in off the streets. They were looking around the store, commenting on how they needed this or that and how they had to remember to add it to their bridal registry. Pita made the comment, "they don't have this kind of stuff where we registered"....then let out the biggest, saddest sigh and then turned to me and said you should offer bridal registry.  So it got me thinking.. why not offer bridal registry here at Saint Seneca? I say, I DO, ergh, um, I mean YES.

Ridgewood Social features us and it sure feels good!
