Lots of Blondie, Bowie, The Clash, The Ramones, etc. Large downstairs selection of sale items and shoes. Staff were laid back, but made themselves available if I needed anything. I was reading how some well known punk bands used to shop here in the 70s and how they were one of the first to stock Doc Martens. A nice nostalgic walk down memory lane, with the LES and East Village used to be real PUNK.

(With photo energy, rockabilly revival, and "comfort at any altitude")…read more Trash & Vaudeville is a New York institution -- the kind of place where style, attitude, and underground culture all meet in one perfect moment. My Queen and I stopped in during our "U&ME N' NYC" weekend, and the experience was pure magic. She's a tall woman, and when she steps into her heels, she elevates not only her height but her entire presence. I love matching her altitude -- walking beside her eye-to-eye with confidence and style. Thanks to Trash & Vaudeville, I found the perfect way to rise with her: a pair of Underground/T.U.K. black suede platform creepers with that classic bold sole. These shoes don't just look incredible -- they give me the lift to match her elegance, her stride, her spirit. This is the first of many ways I'll create comfort at any altitude with my Queen. And let me say this: rockabilly isn't just nostalgia -- it's rising again, underground style pushing back to the forefront. These creepers are part of that revival, and Trash & Vaudeville is still the epicenter of the scene. From the moment we walked in to the moment we walked out with that iconic pink bag, we felt welcomed, seen, and styled with soul. If you want fashion with history, heartbeat, and edge -- Trash & Vaudeville is the place. We'll be back. Because once you find your tribe, you return to them.

I never attended a listening party so pretty much Mac 哥哥 popped my cherry hehe =) When I finally arrived at Alife, there was a dude stopping me from going in but later on people were leaving.

Damn, there was a lot of chopiis (fans) along with his close friends that pull up to his listening party. I was speechless being in the presence of him ::screaming:: Awww how cute China Mac (https://www.instagram.com/chinamac/) gave me a hug then wished me a Happy Early Birthday ::blushing:: He was performing songs from his Yin & Yang EPs to everyone! Man my boi was killing it. Also, I got to meet one of China Mac's homeboy Mike (https://www.instagram.com/fuckth3world/) tonight and we took a #selife together LOL I didn't use my inner voice and kinda shouted "OMG JFortune" (https://www.instagram.com/jfortune718/) and he was nice to take a picture with me hehe Tonight was an epic moment in my Piggy New Year and just days before my birthday!

From the moment we walked into the store, they were welcoming, friendly, and genuinely helpful. Once they learned we were shopping for my daughter's 21st birthday, they went above and beyond to make the experience even more memorable. They treated us like family. They were incredibly patient while my daughter took her time deciding which shoes and items she wanted, never making us feel rushed or pressured. Instead, they made the entire experience enjoyable and special. Outstanding customer service is hard to find these days, but David and Eldon delivered exactly that. They were attentive, accommodating, and truly represented the Bathing Ape brand with excellence. Thank you both for making our first visit to the New York Bathing Ape store such a wonderful experience. What started as a shopping trip became one of the highlights of our weekend. We will definitely be back the next time we're in New York!

It's the most authentic, elevated representation of the borough, its people, and its culture. No one does it better when it comes to original, Bronx-inspired merchandise--hands down. At the heart of this movement is founder Amaurys Grullon--a visionary leader, creator, and community champion. He doesn't just build a brand; he empowers a generation. Bronx Native isn't just a store--it's a cultural landmark. A place where legends have walked through, and where history continues to be made. This space should be recognized as a historical site--an enduring symbol of the South Bronx's creativity, resilience, and soul. Bronx Native deserves to be here for decades to come, as both a beacon and a movement.

3 stars only because: 1 Star for the variety of high end…read moredesigner clothing and shoes, not many hand bags 1 Star for the knowledge when i asked about the different designers (i fact check after and they know their stuff) 1 Star for how clean and impeccable the store is. -1 Star because security wont greet you and their customer service really sucks. Looking at this reviews now i dont feel as crazy as i did after walking off. Example: I asked for size for different items and the gentleman looked at me said ok and went back to the same spot where he was chatting with another employee to continue his personal conversation and once he was done he came back to asked me one more time what items i needed size... excuse me? Another moment was me walking around looking for a fitting room now mind you they have like 15 employees for a store thats not even big they all see me looking around nobody said anything i had to literally go and asked them if they had fitting rooms they proceeded to point to where the fitting room was located..(rude) then as im taking my clothes off one of the employees without even knocking open the door (the door doesn't have a lock) scaring the sht outta me, doesn't apologize and again without even asking if i was ok with him taking my handbag he just took it and hang it on a rack right next to the door... he didn't care to take it behind the register anyone could have taken it and leave without an issue (this particular moment did it for me because i will go and check them out but they will never get a dollar off of me....) -1 Star because they absolutely could have better racks and features in the store the way they are set up it really looks like a thrift store i compare their looks to 2nd street thrift store but organized. For the price point and the amount of celebrities clientele who visit daily I think the store should have a more upscale look and even more items or more sizes. They can definitely improve in visual, sizes and handbags. Overall i will recommend this boutique to the shoppers who don't like to be bothered and don't really be asking for much information or sizes. If you demand customer service this is not a store for you, if your wallet or cards don't have at least 1,000 to spend please don't waste your time this is not macys.
