Black Parrot

Having a day of dowdiness? Feeling flabby? Stop by the Black Parrot on Middle Street and check yourself out. The mirror across from the check-out counter is unusually flattering and it's no secret. Patrons and employees alike agree that the lighting/mirror combo sheds pounds off your reflection faster than Richard Simmons. Inevitably, customers who try on stylish pieces from indie designers will fall in love with the clothes — not just because the clothes are great, but because in that mirror everything looks like a fashionista version of Cinderella's ballgown.
