So let's put food on the back burner for awhile and walk out of the park (see below) and head for the Chess Forum at 219 Thompson Street, or walk across the street to the Village Chess Shop. At either landmark you'll find unique and one of a kind chess pieces, full sets (in all price ranges) a fantastic library and chess software. Almost always there's a game going on or someone waiting in the wings for a partner.
Knitters and other fiber folk- walk south and west to Sullivan Street and visit PURL their website says Purlsoho.com but we know the shop is located in what once was the West Village. They have a wonderful selection of yarn, and also offer classes. I've not yet found a 'free' pattern on the website though- too bad NYC Residents gravitate to 'free'.

I may not be able to visit New York at this time but thanks for including the link to Purl where I was able to visit online and found the perfect book for my new sox project. Even here in Austin when a Blue Norther blows in a pair of handmade wool sox makes the day bearable.
Here is where you can find some free patterns from Purl.
