there is random little small sport shop but nothing worth it. if you take rt 17 in jersey towards there, there is a ski barn and curry's ski skop. you'll see what i mean if u went that way

i work in Mt. Everest ski shop in westwood, nj. its even closer to the city than those are (like 25 minutes out), and we actually have a lot of stuff left unlike those too (curys looks like its going out of business, its so empty) but if you wanna stay in NYC, then check out paragon sports, its a huge shop with lots of ski gear and shit, real good

paragon, as a sports shop, is just fucking epic. my dad works right near there so when ever i get the chance, i go.

they have an upstairs room, its allllllllllllll jackets and pants, camping gear, some bikes, backpacks and luggage what what not. The middle floor is a lot of clothing, they have some other ski clothing as well as clothing for every other sport. they also have a huge selection of skis and boots and what not. the bottom floor is mostly their team sports and what not. its just a sick store all around, so big and so much. not exactly cheap (nothing is in stores) but still. i got a nice jacket as their warehouse sale

^ idk bout in the city, but ive been to the one in the garden state mall in Nj and its sick, they usually have real good prices on clothing and jackets and they have a lot of the googles and sunglasses, and their outlet store is even cheaper (its in woodbury commons in central valley, ny, like an hour or so outside the city)
