Delancy Street in Manhattan...
Back in the Day can't forget Simpson st. sneakers, Delancy Leathers and Sheepskins but be careful
I think he meant areas you would get killed.
Imo Colosseum in Jamaica is still the most dangerous today.
You AINT lying... when them sheepskins was poppin, BRUH dudes was on the hunt... Especially when
they came out with the color sheepskin jizoints... btw I dont think there is a warmer coat in the world,
I remember wearing sheepskins, and sweating like a muthafucka in the winter... delancy had the avirex and eightball jackets on lock...
Oh shit he aint even mention 116th street where I got my first mock neck.....and sharkskin pants.
and LEE jeans... bruh back then if you wore levi's you was considered a pussy... then they even had
some wack shit called Devil Jeans... it wasnt till I hit college age I realized Levi's was a much better made
jean...and most of the clothing they sold in the hood was crap and used the worst materials.
but I sure loved my polyesther mock necks, golf pants and sterling silver medallions I used to rock
like it was a 24k cuban link....couldnt tell me nada.. with my nappy uncombed fro. I used to go and just get the front of my hair shaped up...rest of that shit was nappy and happy... shit was the move, and was the precusor to locks in the hood if you askin a real knigga, but chea.. mock necks..
there was always some new sneaker brand for the summer...
I remember some gatdam Lotto sneakers, where you could change the color of the emblem,
I remember for like 2 minues some brand called diadora was the flavor of he month...

LOL bruh SIMPSON street in the BRONX.... come on son,
Queens was wilin but they aint got nothing ON THE BRONX bruh,
there is a whole new level of senseless violence in the bronx...
especially Simpson street back in those days....
I've shopped in every one of the areas at one time or another.
Jew Man had some great deals and that lay away plan. My grandmother took me to Orchard Street when I was a child. As an adult in my 20's I bought several pairs of shoes and leathers on Orchard. Even got my mother a modern sheepskin coat. She picked it out herself.

Thats what Im Sayin.. how he forget about these spots bruh... Orchad street had the leathers on DECK
bruh... and Jew man is a bronx retail legend.. I remember he hired nothing but dudes from the hood,
he got robbed once, then KEPT all types of armed duded on deck...
Is he STILL around tho??? He would always give you a deal, and if you was a few dollars
short they aint give a fuck...... thats why they called him jew man because he was always willing
to negotiate...
jews are born being told to NEVER buy retail, always get wholesale,
we real kniggas dont give a fuck, if we want it, we want it,
and folks take advantage of that attitude...
Man I ain't seen Jew Man for decades. When I was in my mid to late 20's I drove concrete mixer trucks in the Bronx and he was still down there. I did, however, learn about buying wholesale. Especially from doing trucking. I would buy cases of Fish at the South Street Sea Port before the fish market got moved the Hunts Point. Now I shop at Hunts Point. As for clothing I miss SYMS out in NJ. I shopped there in Paramus, NJ heavily from the 80's until SYMS closed. Remember the bootleg spots on Broadway down in the upper 20's in Manhattan? I used to walk out them spots with a gang of black plastic bags like it was a heist.
lol bruh you makin me get emotional now.. fuckin SYMS had the dope designer blazers,
on some as is shit bruh....the syms in downtown manhattan was my go to spot for last minute
jacket and tie events...
I think century 21 is still there, but it wasnt fuckin with syms for the surprise designer shit,
I remember getting a thousand dollar hugo boss blazer for under 200...
syms downtown manhattan was that shit....
but them days gone mayne... there are still plenty of nyc secrets out
here tho..
I am at home in the Bronx though.
Back in the day you had:
- Syms
- Filiene's Basement
- Loehmanns
- Burlington Coat Factory - still around but doesn't have FLY shit no more.
- Marshalls - still around but doesn't have FLY shit no more.
- TJ Maxx - still around but doesn't have FLY shit no more.
Century 21 is now back and they have designer shit but it aint even cheap*
I shopped there from the age of 12 to my 20's. I remember seeing sweaters that Cosby wore in there for $200. I once went in there in 1986 with $100 and bought 5 pair of Calvin Klein baggy slacks for 19.99 each. The nice lady gave me my receipt and 5¢. I copped some Bally sneakers there a few weeks later for $39.99. I loved SYMS. The sneakers stores in the malls had all the latest kicks. I loved shopping out there.
You have to be on the spectrum son.Top 5 NYC Hood shopping areas
He counted six... not five
.
And that's ok
Can never forget hitting up Fordham Rd where you can cop the newest kicks before they officially released & a gold chain in the same spot. Then walk down the block to cop cologne from the tables setup next to the dudes selling tempo tempo tempo by Grand Concourse
In my late teens early 20s I would shop at all them spots every sat when I got paid.. get the $4 fun pass that was good until 2am and hit 3- 4 diff boroughs to shop for specific shit.. damn I use to splurge
Yea once the tourist found out about century 21 it was a wrap, I just to get polo tee shirts
and boxers three for 20, I KNOW that aint the price now for some gatdam polo....
but chea once the tourist found out about it, it was a wrap, from nyc secret to
major tourist trap....
barz!!
Oh yea I remember filenes basement but was that in brooklyn or manhattan tho?
dont remember lohemans, sounds like something that was out in long island bruh...
Pretty funny video but I love visiting 125th street every time I go to Harlem
