Secret NYC Stores

[htownkicks]

Aside from Alife Rivington (where you have to buzz to enter into what looks like an apartment), what are other NYC boutiques that are hard to find?

What would you say is the best kept secret?

The first time my boy took me into Nom, i was like wtf :o

Basically you have to go down these stairs (similar to a subway station) then find a steel door opposite of a graffiti piece. Then Either just open or knock.

NDG was so weird. I felt like I was too young and skaterish to open the door. That place is on another level.

nothing in ny is a secret

[ddohnggo]

nom de guerre got rid of their sneaker section because they don't want to cater to hypebeasts like you guys

[jskilz]

World isn't really a "secret" shop...but its new so not alotta people know about it...its in LES on Chrystie St...i think the # is 187...

Nom de guerre is more high fashion, and even their shirts are ripoffs. But their jackets are reallll nice, and pricey. Geared to you if youre in your late twenties

hahaha, this is funny because it's true! This dude is not lying - that's exactly why they got their of their sneaker back room.

NDG isn't hard to find. It's right across the street from Atrium. There will be some stairs leading to a basement on the corner of Broadway.

Walk downstairs pass the graffitti on the wall and turn right. Then there's another lower level that you can go into it. The whole concept is pretty sick.

they had some heat down there, jus when i got into the game alotta old stuff but some crazy prices... here are some quick shots i took when the guy wasn't lookin... some of the older SBs i remember seeing were dunkles and luckies... sorry didnt have time to take pics of those

haaaahahahahaaaahahahah

[yowhodakid]

I would say Dave's Quality Meats, Reed Space and Goliath (Harlem) are stores that are somewhat secret, not all that commercial or easy 2 come across, on side streets most of these stores.

LES= lower east side.
