First of all we wanted to show you our room, which is the smallest room of the hotel:(.
Now over to one of the greater things about NYC – shopping – there’s a whole lot of shopping opportunities in NYC, there’s vintage stuff from the 80’s, but also the newest collection from Yeezy.
We thought that Times Square was the place to go, you know the place where there’s stores all around, Batman and Superman cosplayers that want to scam you for a picture, buuut no, the good stuff for us were in a place called Soho, which we thought were where our parents got drunk in Holbæk – but Soho was crazy, there were stores like Supreme, Louis Vuitton, Moncler, Stone Island, Round Two and a whole lot more. Soho is also a multicultural place where you can find Chinatown and Little Italy for example. That’s shows us that NYC don’t judge, even for a pair of white guys like ourselves.
In an era when pretty much anything can be two-day-shipped to your house and high streets in major cities around the world are lined with a lot of the same storefronts, the point of shopping in real life seems increasingly unnecessary. But once in a while, you walk into a store that feels like a genuine discovery, where browsing the shelves and racks stocked with things you can’t find anywhere else is an activity in itself. Beyond the Zara-fied scrums of Soho and 5th Avenue, New York City is still filled with these kinds of places—in fact, we could go on forever listing hundreds of nice shops, from a showroom that specializes in animal skulls to an emporium devoted entirely to high-end buttons. But here, we tried to distill it down to a top 5.
5. Flight Club – A sneaker shop that have a whole of sneakers, in fact all sneakers that you could dream of, but it was very pricey, and the staff was kinda rude. If you want to visit, the address is – 812 Broadway.
4. Modell’s Sporting Goods – A sports shop with clothing, shoes and accessories. Not pricey at all but the staff were slow and it was extremely hot in there. If you want to visit, the address is – 845 3rd Ave.
3. Stadium Goods – Also a sneaker shop, also with all the sneakers of your dreams, the staff were nice and the shoes were not as pricey. If you want to visit, the address is – 47 Howard Street.
2. Stone Island – A fashion/designer store with all their newest collections but also their older, not as pricey collections, the staff was very cool, so yeah all around a nice experience. If you want to visit, the address is – 41 Green Street
1. Round Two/Round Two Vintage – Everything was absolutely perfect, the stores are both resell stores which means that it’s a secondhand store, which means that it was not as pricey as if you wanted to buy the stuff from a retail store. The staff was cool and helpful. If you want to visit, the address is – 113 Stanton Street.
