What are you looking for? West Village and SoHo have good clusters as well

What does Freeman's Sporting Club carry? My friend lives across the street from it on Rivington but I thought it was just a barber shop.

Totally depends on what you're looking for I guess. If it were me I'd hit up Nepenthes, Self Edge, Blue In Green, and Leffot. It would probably require a cab ride or two to hit all that in three hours....but I think it might be possible.

I don't know if a lot of people will agree with me, whenever I am in NYC I make it a point to stop at INA Men (the Prince St. location only, across from Cafe Habana) and Tokio 7. These are both consignment shops. I have always walked out with some amazing finds at killer prices. :slayer:

Their own line of stuff. It's a bit like toned-down EG. There are some decent pieces but the prices and collections have always made me feel underwhelmed.

Freeman's has suits, chinos, shirts, shoes, etc. Locally made, well made. Forgot about Nepentheses, but I was keeping you downtown in the same vicinity
