The naked baby dolls piled up in the front window of SEARCH & DESTROY is a good preview for what you’re in for. If you’re looking for something weird, this East Village shop is a good starting point. In addition to vintage clothing with a seriously punk rock lean, they also sell everything from sex toys to Manic Panic hair dye.

I like coming down here with friends when the weather permits and drinking on the beach or on the rocks when the tides come in.

Grand Central is big and beautiful and it also periodically hosts free cultural events - poets at typewriters custom-composing poems on demand - or Alvin Ailey dancers performing in Artist, Nick Cave's horse suits!

Interference Archive is a volunteer-run library, gallery, and archive of historical materials related to social and political activism and movements.

Great venue in East Williamsburg
