How adorable is this store? I'm a sucker for quirky, handmade gifts, and The Sock Man has got it. I really loved perusing through their wide selection of socks. They have a men's and a women's section, made up of one-size-fits-alls, made up of everything you could think of, from cartoon characters to emojis to celebrity faces to patterns. I loved the Star of David and piano socks as gifts for my brother. I think the price is a little high for what it is, but I get that they have to pay St. Mark's rent and that they're a specialty store. On the list for niche, quirky accessories, costumes, and gifts! read more

I walked in and immediately loved this store's stock- an amazing array of socks in every color and category, providing the perfect gift for anyone on your list. However, I barely made it halfway through the store when the two male staffers started loudly talking about the rat problem in New York and one said "I just saw one under here" while banging on the counter. I turned around and left...obviously. read more

I love the quirkiness and creativity you can find inside. Went in and purchased a pair of bald eagle designed socks as well as a candy cane striped legging. The cotton fabric was very comfortable and was not thin at all like some of the pairs I previously owned. This is one of the few locally owned stores in the area and they do a great job preserving the character of the community. The prices are affordable and you'll have a large variety of socks to choose from. The novelty designs are unique and will definitely make you stand out. I've had strangers start conversations with me and complement me on my style. read more

Another trippy place on the Lower East Side. My wife is a size 6 shoe, married for 25+ years, there are things that I have burned in my brain. There's a guy who I can only assume is the owner. The think Jim Ignatowski from Taxi. He's running around like a chicken with his head cut off. I grab him and say, there are only mediums that start off at size 7. Do you have a woman's small socks? My wife's a size 6. All of a sudden he goes into a Reverend Jim rant how a child sock wont fit and then he mid sentence he takes off? What the F kinda joint is this??? I walk out empty handed. Reverend Jim? Have a drink. read more

Yes, they sell mostly one item here, but they do it very, very well. This store has one of the most amazing sock collections I've ever seen. If you are shopping for a sports fan (baseball, basketball, football and more), an art lover, comic fan, a Star Wars fan, a cat lover, a dog lover, a trekker/trekkie (whichever you prefer to be called), or just want a cool looking pair of socks, this is the place to go. The people who work here are friendly, helpful, and very laid back. They will gladly answer any of your questions. The prices are generally reasonable, if a bit higher than in other places. However, can you find Van Gogh or Scooby-Doo socks at K-Mart? Basically, if you are looking for a unique/goofy and practical gift for a friend, or to treat yourself, this is the place to go! read more

I've been shopping at The Sock Man since they were a stand on the street--"yeah, over there," said the guy today, pointing across the street next to Grassroots Tavern when I went to buy my socks today. (In the 80s, that was right across the street from where I lived.) They're my go-to for cheap cotton socks ($3, 2 for $5--although they used to be $2, 3 for $5) and I've gotten some excellent tights here, too. Considering that boutiques and department stores sell ordinary socks for $12-15, I don't think their prices are high at all--they gotta eat, too. read more

When someone below said, 'The Sock Man delivereth'...he was not kidding. And I don't care if you just made that word up, sir, because this place and the people and things contained within it are certainly worth making up words for. Seriously, every and any style/design of sock your twisted brain could conjure up (and even some it couldn't) is available here. Striped socks, polka dot socks, martini socks, Thanksgiving socks, even socks with obscenities printed all over them (YAY!)...you get the idea. I'm not all that much of a sock girl (more a fishnets and backseams girl...and lo and behold, they've got those, too!), but even I could not help but gawk and grab. And the best part of all is that this is the only place in the entire city where I was able to find non-black laces for my boots...I'd originally come to St Marks in desperation to enter the den of iniquity known as Search and Destroy, prepared to shell out $20 for laces of marginal quality, but when they didn't have any in stock, I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask the Sock Man. $4 A PAIR for gorgeous checkerboard laces in some fantastic colours (as well as a number of other patterns that didn't strike me so much)...I did have to ask, and the very friendly salesgirl did have to retrieve them from their hiding place, but I got what I was looking for...hell, MORE than I was looking for...and left one happy camper. LOVE. THIS. PLACE. read more

Fun shop with different length, style, and patterns of socks. Some funny or cute ones too. Some are just pretty general. Sell a few stockings, individual pieces of clothing items, pins, etc. The pins are pretty pricey but it looks alright quality so it's not worth it but it's like $3 each, even with the general super tiny ones. The staff isn't too friendly but talked a lot with another older lady, it's was alright. read more

As if I needed another reason to hit up St Marks! Now I can go get japadog, a tattoo, sing karaoke, and score some sweet ass socks in the span of one city block. Fun fact about me is that I have a strange ass obsession with funky socks. Owning a pair of plain black, brown, or beige socks is something that I cannot comprehend. Wearing some funky NYC taxicab checkered socks under some professional attire at work keeps me sane, or maybe insane depending on how you look at this. Finding sockman was a true treat for me. I now own socks with turkeys, new years themed, hearts, ninjas, bananas, and my favorite are argyle with monkeys hanging from the stripes. I still need those NYC Subway map socks they make. Notice I said "need". Yes I NEED them! read more

Go get yourself a pair. Today! He has every kind of sock (and tights!) imaginable. Hurry, before his rent gets hiked and he's kicked out of this awesome old school East Village landmark.

The Sock Man is a great store for all your sock, garter and suspender needs. Dapper doesn't have to cost you an arm and a leg...or foot. You can get most things for around $10 or less here. Let's hope this great little store stays around for a long time...on the ever-gentrifying St. Marks Place. They take credit cards...but will try to guilt you into paying cash. They'll even take Amex...but they'll ask for another form of payment. I get it...but it's a small hassle. Ideal for: socks, sock garters, suspenders and tights. read more

LOVE this place! Fantastic selection of socks, tights and other goodies - colors and designs I don't find anywhere else. Discovered The Sock Man shortly after I moved to NYC 15 years ago... My first couple of years in the city I was a student and broke as hell; I couldn't afford new clothes, but I COULD splurge on a cool pair of socks now and then. I've been a customer ever since and I almost always bring out-of-town guests by (they think I'm crazy when I insist they MUST visit The Sock Man, then are always glad I brought them). And to the people who complain about the 'attitude' - I've found the owner and the salespeople to be informative, helpful amd usually friendly; yes, they can be a little cranky occasionally (but then, who isn't?) and I've seriously NEVER had an issue. read more

Is it just me or do socks you get at k-mart and other department stores rip easily? Anyway, I stumbled onto the sockman in the east village a few months back, and have been a loyal customer since. If there is a type of sock you want, they probably have it and the prices arent too bad either. The winter is near so I got some thicker gray ones today (can wear them casually or formally!). They have a whole array of interesting socks (def. saw some super hero ones) and the customer service is spot on, you tell them what kind of socks you want and they will deliver. read more

Though I promptly told her that I don't need layaway and I pay for things outright, I had already decided that I wouldn't be buying from there. Her fixation on talking to me about price was all I needed to hear. Nothing disgusts me more than when people make assumptions! I have beautiful vintage hats in my collection, fine jewelry and quality costume jewelry, and beautiful bags that I've purchased abroad. She could've had a repeat customer who prioritizes quality goods and, more importantly, quality service.

I can never just walk past their window on third without either stopping to look or going in to purchase. My only criticism is that, sometimes, the clothing can feel flimsy, as though too many short cuts were made. The store has been there for years; it's not a fly-by-night store. It is certainly worth your looking.

Warning though - it might be hard to pick just one! Backwoods is also a life saver if you forgot a hat, gloves or scarf at home. You can easily pick one up on the go. Special Note: Backwoods scarves are great for when you need to dress up or down an outfit, and when you or a loved one are going through cancer. If you have not tried them yet, try them for a summer dress or skirt this year. By Relevant Views 6.16.2024

I feel like it's free aromatherapy because they have tons of diffusers going on but never overwhelming. I also appreciate this location is wheelchair accessible. The employees are helpful and never pushy. It has the usual stock of home goods and clothing for men and women, but I don't think this location is particularly large if you're looking for the full array of what Muji offers.

This Muji location is right by Times Square. It's not super big inside and is rarely crowded…read more There's always a bunch of shipment boxes lying around when I've been there. The store is pretty overstuffed with merchandise which makes it hard to walk around at times. The staff is usually attentive and will ask if you need help. Prices for things are reasonable and there's some interesting items. They also sell some clothes and some snacks as well. It usually smells good in here as they have their diffusers running (also for sale).

Ironically,…read moreplaces in jersey will rip you off for the same jewelry so they can receive up to 3x in profit margins. These prices actually are around the same price range to what you would pay in a big city in India. I've been coming here for about a few months now and am happy with the selection in the store. There is a bit of a cultural disconnect with the staff in the store just because in India, people will hover around you in stores; and that's not how things are in the US and people may get uncomfortable with this kind of service. It's not bad, just one thing to note before you enter the store.
