Deluxa
Formerly called Go Fish!, which was then run out of the front of a vintage-loving couples’ ground floor apartment, Deluxa is the same concept, but bigger and better. Now owned by Kristen Stocks (another vintage hound) the store has expanded to fill the entire first floor, making it feel airier and less cramped—which is a good thing, given just how much stuff fills the shop. Quirky and colorful are the guiding design principles and they extend to fashion and accessories, furniture and housewares—even music. Funky ’50s wall clocks, weird barware and an amazing selection of Danish modern furniture is all arranged in lovely tableaux. The clothing is in pristine condition (with a few designer labels mixed in) and the prices are much lower than anything you’d find in the East Village. Stocks is incredibly friendly and helpful, so if she thinks that floral shift looks horrible on you, she’ll let you know in the nicest possible way. 187 Sackett St between Henry and Hicks St, Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn (347-721-3401, deluxanyc.com)—EW
Thanks, Time Out! I've loved you ever since I met you, and now I love you more!
