Hey man - no worries. I just moved here myself from London. It's great to just explore and find little shops here and there. The map is good but i don't think it covers it all. I've found a few great places recently off the beaton path. gotta head around the lower east side. quite a nice pub on ludlow if you want a taste of home. but keep your eyes open -- you snooze and you'll miss some brilliant places in this city. There's the regular big name brands you mentioned, but mate, you gotta check out some new and local brands too man. i've been making me own list since heading around: (I live downtown, so most of this is in the lower east side) check out Miss Behave for pressie for your bird, Nort for nikes, local on ludlow for a pint, foley and corina men for vintage goods, and sugarhead quarters for some tees. Let me know if you need any more tips for shopping this side of the pond. cheers.

check out nom de guerre---

where in nyc can i find some NEIGHBORHOOD?

[BoardC3]

union on spring st has neighborhood, although its a tiny shop often filled with elitist assholes

[arem]

^Really? I've never had a bad experience in Union, at least not from the people working there. Some of the customers might be another story, but they cant help that, it's the price of carrying all that BBC stuff.

[dino might]

thanks, anywhere in addition to union? (if boardc3's statement proves to be accurate)

comme des garcons

APC

supreme (these fellas are almost hilariously sure of themselves)

nom de guerre

opening ceremony (maybe #1, dunno how these ladies equate working retail with being so cool)

cast and crew at Odin are pricks too

(by now you can tell i never leave downtown, oh well)

really nice people

Seven

salvor kiosk

cloak (RIP, but i swear, i was so surprised by how nice everyone including alexendre himself is)

[billbixby]

just humble opinion but i base a lot of my decision to patronize a place on how much i actually enjoy going there. ^^^

i forget the name of the store next to supreme, stackhouse i think, but theyre always nice.

[herpsky]

as far as i know, stackhouse has a very small selection of clothes and lots of super-overpriced nike sneakers (for guys).

[BoardC3]

Im surprised you said that billbixby, Ive ALWAYS had great service from everyone at APC and also usually have very good service from people at NDG

Word. Cloak peeps are super nice.

[goldengloves]

I will follow up others by saying how nice the people are inside Cloak. Also, the girls inside Opening Ceremony were really cool and very helpful. Uniqlo is always worth hitting up too.

[billbixby]

guess the OC girls just dont like my stee-lo. and yes, uniqlo is great

Another place would be 45rpm in Soho on Mercer Street. APC is also close by.

[test]

Guys, my friend's in new york now. Any clothing stores which sell slim fitting clothes similar to Hare to reccomend? slim and a little tight fitting, polos would be a good start! hurry! thanks.

edit: would prefer clothes to be on the cheaper side, my pockets burnt.

[Swych]

uniqlo for polos man. Over the past 2 weeks I've bought 4 different white polos with different cuts and details, all slim fit. they are great plain clothes that i wear to work.

[herpsky]

this thread is hilarious

[AgentRed]

The 45rpm store in the UES is nice too, a converted townhouse with wood walls and concrete floors with a stream through the center.

[herpsky]

are shops open on thanksgiving (Nov 22nd)?

what is open on thanksgiving in nyc?

[lestat]

^ the better question is which stores are having sales on the day after thanksgiving...

[herpsky]

bump it up

[gentleman]

bump it up

thats like the one day that no one is really open...

[fashiontard]
