Urban Essentialz opened in September of 2006. It was inspired by the many unique shops we visited in New York City when a new family addition, Addicus, was born in Manhattan on January 19th, 2006. We thought that Rochesterians would appreciate unique products like those in NYC - so when Addicus was born, so was the concept of Urban Essentialz (nine months before we opened too! )
A one stop retail store with unique cards and books, beautiful jewelry, Art wear and accessories, classic toys, Home Decor and homewares, garden accessories, crystals, incense, feng shui solutions, and some funky and retro items to boot.
