5th Ave Transforming Into Vintage Row

An awning has gone up on the old Celine clothing store space on 5th Avenue between Sackett and Degraw saying a vintage shop named Yona Lee is going to fill the storefront. Per a reader, the vintage store will be the fourth such business on this stretch of 5th Avenue: “This strip is becoming quite the vintage row…Beacon’s Closet up on Warren and 5th, Odd Twin on Lincoln and 5th…Monkeys’ Whistles & Motorbikes is also on this block between Lincoln and Berkeley.” GMAP
Troll, rule of thumb: if 11217 likes it, it isn’t de-gentrification.
So is this good for 5th avenue? or is it a sign of de-gentrification?
whats the rent on those stores anyway?
“Ok if you like that, but used clothes skeeve me out”
More so than having 8 year olds in China make your new ones…?
Much more (unkess they are wearing them as well ) and besides thats who made the used ones when they were new anyway
lol
*rob*
11217, is that *really* why you by used clothes?

Yeah, Snap. And the shoes are AWESOME!
These stores are not for everyone though. You can’t run in and run out. It takes time and patience to look through everything, and not everyone wants to do that. It also helps to go regularly as the stock at places like Beacons Closet turns over quite a bit.
But the people who do are justly rewarded. 🙂
I actually do casual personal shopping for 2 other people who are also into vintage….whenever I’m out, I pick them up stuff if I think they’ll like it and it would fit. It’s been fun.
I’m telling you…Odd Twin is THE BEST vintage store I’ve ever been to.
I’m actually headed up to the HUGE Beacons Closet in Williamsburg later this afternoon!
