Located on the Bowery, Eva NY is the brainchild of Stephanie Pappas who curates a highly select group of cutting edge designers in her store. Definitely appealing to the downtown set sells avant-garde and emerging designers like Mandy Coon, Katie Gallagher and Henrik Vibskov, that are difficult if not impossible to find in more mainstream stores. There’s also a wide range of jewelry and accessories.

Allan & Suzi

Where: 237 Centre Street between Broome & Grand
Mon-Sat 12pm-7pm; Sun 12pm-6pm

For 16 years, Allan Pollack and Suzi Kandel have been the first name in the retro-clothing business. Originally on the Upper West Side they re-located downtown in Spring 2011. This store is a true fashion lovers dream and a true vintage store. You won’t find flannel shirts or cut off jean shorts or anything that’s old masquerading as vintage. Instead look at Versace gowns, Kelly bags and Lanvin platforms. I’ve read reviews that Allan can be “cranky”. I personally found both Allan and Suzi to be utterly delightful and can only imagine that any “crankiness” was the result of someone not handling the garments properly. While it’s not cheap, don’t be afraid of the price tags. They’ll let you know that many things are 70% or more off of the price listed. So if you find something you love maybe you can find a price that will match.
