probably not the best, I don’t shop vintage alot, but I like it there. My favorite Levi’s shorts are from there.
Edit: oh also David Owen’s Vintage Clothing, I met the old dude himself last weekend.

This place rules. I got my favorite shirt there (blue striped Armani Jeans button up i’m wearing in the pic above) I tell anyone who needs something formal but with some spirit/attitude, go browse the racks at Ebreo. Perfect for well priced suits with a cool selection of shirting, outerwear and shoes too. It’s in Williamsburg on Grand St. sandwiched between Dolls Kill and Supreme (lol) and it is run by Julian Colucci. He is one of the most natural and gifted hosts and shopkeepers I know and he is also a licensed and practicing therapist. He specializes in Italian menswear and sources from all over the place. The last couple times I ran into him there, he was coming back from Florida or Italy.
I think he’s also got an espresso machine rocking in the back.
So much more I could say about this place, but just go over there if you’re in New York!

Sean Crowley of Crowley Vintage is a total vintage menswear nerd, and has an incredible collection of rare, quality vintage pieces. There's a Ralph Lauren / Ivy Style focus. Movie stylists go to him to pick up vintage pieces. He's a big deal.
He's also a bit of a dick. you should call ahead to plan your appointment with him, you should put everything back exactly as you found it, and if you don't buy anything, he's going to think you're a dick, because, again, he's a dick. You'll pay more than full price for some pieces.
I'd sooner recommend Alfargo's Marketplace. The people are nicer, the prices are dramatically better, the clothes are still fantastic, and the people appreciate vintage clothing from a modern perspective. Crowley actually shops there sometimes, that's a whole long story.

With no shadow of a doubt, my favorite place to shop for vintage online. Ian Reid is an excellent curator and ever since one of my best friends recommended Handbook to me a couple years ago, my closet is now home to a good amount of awesome vintage tees, button-ups, and knits. Still waiting on the right pairs of pants!
My only complaints are that pricing can be a little bit on the higher end for vintage depending on the item, but I wouldn't call it unreasonable. I could also just have brain worms from being into fashion.... Oh and Handbook does take a while to ship. Besides that, I'm always keeping an eye out for what they find!
Look out for new drops every Thursday 4PM PST. You can also follow their insta and check out previews for what will be available that week. If you see something really cool though, you'll have to act fast once the sale is live as it can be a mad dash for everyone looking to cop what they want

These are my favorite food (only slight hyperbole).
I recommend, in no order:
-Kettle brand
-Kettle brand air fried
-7/11
-Lay's Kettle Cooked
These chips are so strong that they will burn your tongue. They are chemical perfection that make the systems in my body dance. They are so rock and roll. No matter what size the bag, I will probably finish the bag.
I always eat the folded ones first, and then move to the unfolded ones.

If you’re within an hour walk from home, you should just walk home.
I understand taking public transit or an Uber there to be on time, but you’re not rushing to get home. Thus, walk.
