    Time Out New York / Issue 651 : Mar 19–25, 2008

    NYC’s best: T-shirt stores and sites

    You've gotta wear something under your $500 spring coats.

    By Kai Ma

    SOHO  |  EAST VILLAGE  |  WEST VILLAGE  |  MIDTOWN  |  UPPER EAST SIDE  |  BROOKLYN  |  WEBSITES

    East Village

    Alphabets
    Though apparel isn’t the mainstay at this housewares chainlet, the small, quirky selection of retro shirts ($18–$24) should please kitsch lovers. Splashed with familiar downtown iconography (defunct music club CBGB, $20) or altered corporate logos (iPot, $22), its candy-colored tees telegraph your love of indie rock and doobies. To represent the town that you live in, snag new york city tees ($20) with a choice of a gothic font or español for the text. 115 Ave A between St. Marks Pl and E 7th St (212-475-7250); 47 Greenwich Ave between Charles and Perry Sts (212-229-2966)

    Urban Outfitters
    Let’s face it, most of the T-shirt designs at this haven for the ironically hip are played out. But we did dig a wigga please tee, featuring a gold-trimmed white-boy graphic ($28). 162 Second Ave between 10th and 11th Sts (212-375-1277); 374 Sixth Ave at Waverly Pl (212-677-9350); 628 Broadway between Bleecker and E Houston Sts (212-475-0009); go to urbanoutfitters.com for more locations.

      I LOVE ALPHABETS!!!!! There are two sides of the store each with a great selection of T-shirts and other great and unique finds. It's the best one shop stop on Ave A and in the whole city.

      GAP, H&M, American App? There are so many really great real t-shirt stores in NYC. Expected more from Time Out, don't know why.

      Crooked Monkey (crookedmonkey.com) have original tshirts- they are also pretty comfy. i've seen them worn in NY and LA and becoming more popular in London.
