New York is a part of our DNA. Sure, we have some stellar on-the-ground reporting from our other cities, but Refinery29 grew up here, cut its teeth in the big city, and the Big Apple is the place we call home. So when we were tasked to choose our 29 favorite stores in the entire city (!!), the pressure was on. This wasn't something that we could take lightly — this city raised us, after all. So, our only rules: No major chains, and each store needed to have a specific charm that came from pure, unmistakable NYC flavor.
If the suspense is killing you (dun, dun DUN!), then head on over to our new "Stores We Love" hub. But, even better, if you're in the mood for some serious wardrobe upgrading, we've asked some of our featured stores to come up with exclusive deals for our readers. Whether these are your mainstays or you've never ventured through their doors, the spots we love all have fresh deals to get your weekend started early. While you are at it, see if your favorite boutique made our list, here.
