It is therefore with an extremely heavy heart that I announce the closure of Carson Street. After three rewarding years, we will close the doors on June 30th, 2016...

That sucks, last season and this season they started buying some really good stuff. Didn't they also just move into a new space?

That's too bad. I bought a lot of stuff from Carson Street over the last three years. I really enjoyed shopping there and thought their buys were generally strong. And I experienced great in-store customer service.

Retail is really tough these days and a number of my favorite NYC shops have closed or have massively scaled down. Really a shame.

Carson Street customer service was meh to me. They fcked up my order 2 out of 3 times I ordered online from there, sending me the wrong stuff.

They indeed had good stuff and a good store. But when I went in (only twice), I got the sense it was like a bar where the bartenders' friends are hanging out, hoping to score free drinks and distracting them from their actual jobs. Maybe too much of a scene. Maybe I am an old man, idk.

That's my impression of Saturdays. I've never actually been in, but I think they actually have a bar in store.
