This Japanese export has multiplied like rabbits around the city in the last few years and it's easy to see why people are hooked. The trademark black-and-neon-green sign is pop-art chic and the store itself is modern and design-savvy—a real first for a convenience store. Like 7-11, the store sells shampoo and stationary; unlike 7-11, people actually want to eat here. The deli case offers pre-packaged bento boxes, rice balls wrapped in seaweed, pork buns, sushi and dim sum as well as American fare like spaghetti and meatballs and New York cheesecake—plus, there are counters and patios for eating your purchases. If snacking is the reason for your visit, Famima!! stocks munchies from Japan, which comes in the cutest packaging.
