See Your City: Noho Shopping Guide
Published 10/31/2017
Artsy Noho packs a lot of history into its small boundaries. This narrow slice of a neighborhood was once home to rock club CBGB & OMFUG as well as artists like Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat, who gave it a reputation for tastemaking. Today, that carries over into the impressive number of art spaces, vintage shops and designer boutiques that line the streets. Explore the local flavor of Noho with our recommendations of the neighborhood’s best shops.

Boglioli

10 Bond Street
This family-run clothier knows a thing or two about menswear, having stitched traditional suits and jackets since the early 1900s. The brand, whose garments are still made in Gambara, Italy, sells sleek jackets and shirts from a clean-lined, Bond Street shop, its first brick-and-mortar location in the US.

55 E Houston St

33 Bond St.
The City’s only independentely owned photography bookstore is a go-to for artists, photographers and designers, as well as everyday shutterbugs.

This Noho store, lined with taxidermied specimens, reads like an off-the-rails museum gift shop. Find an array of natural and replica skeletons, collections of teeth, bones and other preserved objects to diversify your home decor.

In Living Stereo

2 Great Jones Street
Hi-fi stores are hard to come by in NYC, as are record shops; rarer still is to find a place that combines the two. Throughout the displays and listening rooms of this old-school business, you’ll find a selection of new and used records to accompany the high-quality turntables, speakers, headphones and framed album art.

Olde Good Things

302 Bowery
The “olde” here applies to the vast array of 19th-century, mid-century and industrial “things”—hardware, furniture, light fixtures, mirrors, mantels—that populate this Bowery market. The “good” is left up to discerning shoppers winding through the rows of eclectic inventory.

Resurrection

45 Great Jones St.
Having outgrown a more petite location in Nolita (and the East Village before that), this beloved vintage boutique expanded to its current Great Jones digs in 2016. Browse gallery-worthy designer pieces that are equally fashion statements and history lessons: ’70s YSL, ’90s Margiela and early 2000s Alexander McQueen.
