Eighth Street used to be the province of teenyboppers and strippers (an odd combination, to be sure) but what's this?
Boutiques for the chic are muscling in! Petit Peton peddles unusual but ladylike stilettos and handbags. Look for gold strappy sandals, lizard and denim baguettes and feathered evening shoes.
