Yeah, so I was in Boston but now I found out I have to go to NYC. I've got a lot of cash, and I want to buy some urban/hip hop clothes. I'm definitely going to BAPE and BBC, but I have no clue as to what other urban streetwear there is in NYC. Help? Thanks.

Also, is there anything interesting near the Brooklyn Banks? I want to check out the Banks, probably not skate but just look and I'd rather not go over there just to look at some skate spot so is there anything to do over by there?

Yeah, the only problem is I'm NOT sick at skating. I'd just like to walk by and see this legendary spot but at the same time have something to do in the area.

I am from NYC and here are some stores that I recommend you visit if you are going to drop some serious cash:


WEST - They don't sell jeans, but their shoes and tops are pretty nice. The store is fairly far away from downtown (where most of the following stores are), but it is great none the less. www.west147nyc.blogspot.com


BLADES - They have two locations. The one on 659 Broadway is the one closer to the Brooklyn Banks. The second one is near WEST.


REED SPACE - Another good store downtown.


FLIGHT CLUB - I don't know if you want to spend some money on shoes, but this store has some of the greatest shoes out there. Whenever I need a pair of casual shoes I head down to Flight Club.


There are also some stores in Brooklyn that are very nice, but they might be a little too far for your liking. Also, if you get the chance check out www.onlynylives.com . It is a company my friend started and our stuff is sold at most of these location, so help out a fellow Newschooler. If you want more stores (or just some more information), just reply or send me a private message.

Not gonna lie I was waiting for someone to drop this name.

I bought the sickest pair of etnies when I was in NYC a few years ago and they are still shlepping my feet to this day. From personal expereience, I would most definitely check out yellow rat bastard.
