Carolyn Topp, UncommonGoods Director of New Business and Product Development<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

My hometown is\u2026<\/strong>
\nI grew up in Ardsley, NY, also home of the late great ice cream magnate Tom Carvel.<\/p>\n

My favorite product we\u2019ve developed at UncommonGoods is\u2026<\/strong>
\nAlways something new or that will soon be in our assortment; this month it’s our Pedigree Poem Collection<\/a>, which was inspired by my Airedale Terrier, Nelson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m inspired by\u2026<\/strong>
\nPossibilities.<\/p>\n

My guilty pleasure is\u2026<\/strong>
\nI don\u2019t believe in guilt.<\/p>\n

An uncommon fact about me\u2026<\/strong>
\nI was a cellist in Harry Alshin\u2019s junior string orchestra (Westchester County, NY). We performed a concert at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC (in the early 1970s) and each member of the orchestra was listed in the Congressional Record.<\/p>\n

My favorite place to eat in New York City is (was)\u2026<\/strong>
\nFlorent<\/a>– it represents a time and a place in NYC that no longer exists.<\/p>\n

My style is\u2026<\/strong>
\nMy personal style is urban practical and classic.
\nMy decorating style is eclectic – a mix of old and new, colorful, and comfortable for people and pets.<\/p>\n

Working at UncommonGoods, I\u2019ve learned\u2026<\/strong>
\nSomething new each day.<\/p>\n

Would you rather\u2026 Spend a day on the set of Mad Men OR get front row seats and backstage passes at a Bruce Springsteen concert? <\/strong>
\n\u201cYou cannot be serious\u201d (to quote John McEnroe) with this question. Bruce.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
