Who doesn't love shopping? Some buy everything for the house, others get a new book with each salary. And some people spend months chasing a special jacket model of their favorite brand. Especially for you, we have prepared a selection of unusual and stylish new stores in New York. Curbed.
Outline
365 Atlantic Ave., Downtown Brooklyn
Founded by former Totokaelo customer Margaret Austin (along with former set designer Hannah Ricke and Brooklyn Grange farm manager Julia Edelman), this store is one to remember. It features little-known (but comfortable and beautiful) womenswear brands like Connor McKnight and Helenamanzano, as well as Dries Van Noten and Lemaire. The backyard has a garden planted with vines and sunflowers; bouquets are sold at the entrance.
Port
360 Atlantic Ave., Downtown Brooklyn
Directly across the street from the Outline is Porta, founded by a pair of British-Italian friends. It is filled with colorful pottery, glassware, linens and cutlery from manufacturers they have come across during their travels. Among their finds are “monstrous, big soaps” from Portuguese Claus Porto and hand-painted water glasses from Los Vasos de Agua Clara.

Tihngs
6050 Catalpa Ave., Ridgewood
Curator Eric Oglander, formerly of the Catalog Sale auction house, recently opened this shop in Queens to sell "anonymous items" he collects at real estate sales and antiques fairs (such as a Braille Playboy made by the Library of Congress and a customizable violin a length of finger, carved in 1927 in Monticello, New York). Oglander brings new finds every week. He also uses the back half of the Tihngs premises as his personal art studio.
Desert Vintage
34 Orchard St.
This is the second outlet of the popular vintage clothing store. The first is located in Tucson, Arizona. The store is filled with rare and dainty turn-of-the-century and 1960s pieces, like a silk dress by Pauline Triger ($1298) and an Edwardian-style lace collar ($298).
Dear Friend Books
343A Tompkins Ave., Bedford-Stuyvesant
While studying librarianship at Pratt, Anna Sergeeva decided to turn the Bed Stay real estate office into a store specializing in international magazines, Japanese stationery, used art, books on philosophy and poetry. There is also an erotica section and a marble counter where Sergeeva serves buckwheat tea.
Old Jewelry Store
75 E. Broadway, no. 216
On the second floor of Chinatown's East Broadway Mall, behind yellow plaid curtains, designer Sarah Burns has opened a small space to take her already popular Instagram business offline (every month vintage rings, necklaces and bracelets sell out in minutes). Customers can now view her own designs in the physical store and try on the pieces they like on the spot.
troubled Sleep
129 Sixth Ave., Park Slope
“There were no used bookstores in Park Slope,” says Alex Brooks. So he and his partners, who are also behind Codex on the Bowery, set up such a store. Plywood shelves on a tiled floor are filled with books of various genres - from history to philosophy and spirituality. There is also a wide selection of fiction.
P&T Knitwear
180 Orchard St.
Without expecting it, Bradley Task suddenly decided to open a bookstore. And he opened it around the corner from where his grandfather Hymie owned a knitwear shop. The store is huge and has a built-in amphitheater for events. For example, discussions with Andrew Kirtzman, author of Giuliani. There, among other things, there is a cafe and a podcast studio, in which anyone can record for free.
Feasts
39½ Crosby St.
After ten years of designing corporate events for clients such as Anthropologie and LVMH, Brenna Gilbert has opened a social event supplies store. The Feste store, which has huge disco balls in its window, sells unusually beautiful goods. For example, scalloped wood fiber plates and pom-pom garlands. There is also an event planning department.
Ending Soon
254 Broome St.
For years, vintage expert Howman Faramand has been selling rotating collections of contemporary classics (Jil Sander, Yohji Yamamoto, Issei Miyake, and Armani suits under $500) in pop-up stores at fairs throughout Paris, New York, and Los Angeles. Now he and his husband Arsen Barsky have opened a permanent outlet.
