Jenette Bras: Jenette Goldstein presides over this just-opened lingerie store, which specializes in larger cup sizes (the store slogan is ‘the alphabet starts at ‘D’ ’). The shop carries a selection of size D to K brassieres, all made in the U.K. from brands Panache and Freya, including T-shirt styles, sports and strapless versions and push-ups, plus slips and other accessories. Prices from $55 to $80. The store also has a gentlemen’s sitting area for husbands and boyfriends, who can amuse themselves with vintage magazines. An in-house martini bar opens in June.
