Urban Outfitters

I think this is the best UO in NYC.
It’s much more relaxed, clean and the sales staff are friendly enough to make to not want to smash everything. (always a plus)
There’s the ‘bros’ and their gf’s who have filtered down to the east village as of late (gruff gruff) who hang around the trinket section stealing shit and then trying on the stuff they can’t afford but if you can tolerate that… trust me this is as good as UO gets!

My favorite Urban Outfitters in NYC yet! The associates here are super friendly and helpful, even on Black Friday (they’re the real MVPs working that dreadful day). The layout is kind of confusing and I kind of don’t like how you have to walk downstairs to try on everything (I nearly tripped on my own selections twice trying to walk down the stairs while balancing everything), but it’s just a nice environment. Everything is well organized, and their sale sections don’t look like a complete train wreck. This location is slightly smaller than the main Soho store and is comparatively the same size as the one on 85^th street, but overall, would def choose to come back here vs. other UO locations for a more chill shopping experience. Great job UO!

Ok here is the deal. I bought something online, as soon as I receive it I went online just to do some more shopping. I saw the same thing for a lesser price. I call them for a price adjustment. There was not waiting on the phone. Someone picking up the phone as if you were calling somebody’s cell phone. Within ten minutes, the refund adjustment was on my paypal account. BEST AND FASTEST REFUND I HAVE EVER RECEIVE.

Not the best Urban. Small and limited selection, but definitely a good go-​to for a quick shopping trip when you are hating everything in your closet.

This location is pretty nice. I went here to pick up a gift card and left knowing I would not be coming back here. With no line it was weird to know which way to enter the area to pay the cashiers.
The cashier that rung me up gave me a weird look and made me wait while they folded 5 – 6 shirts prior to ringing me up for my simple gift card purchase. I was dumbfounded because it was not busy and I was the only customer.

This location is always clean and organized! A good place to take teens shopping.

My favorite UO location!
It’s not so large as to be overwhelming, like others I’ve visited in Soho and the Upper West Side. It’s easy to navigate and the employees I’ve met were very nice and helpful without hovering (I hate that). I almost always find something I like.
It’s never been crowded when I’ve visited, and I love that.

They completely redesigned this place! The layout kind of makes sense now. Before all the registers were to the side of the store, and that cramped up the store and made shopping a little difficult. They made the right choice to move them to the back!
Also I noticed they added charging ports, mainly micro usb for you android users and 30 pin connectors for the iphone users out there! I wish they had lightning connectors for the iphone 5 users out there.

This branch of Urban Outfitters always has great items in their sales section. I’ve found pieces here marked down that are still at full price online and at other locations. Be sure to come here especially when there are the extra 50% off sales!

Someone said this was her «favorite place to shop»? Uhm… that’s like saying The Olive Garden is is your favorite place to eat. Why would anyone admit to such a thing is beyond me. Are you deaf? Good, because their music is obnoxious. Blind? Even better, because the bright neon lighting will make you think you just stepped into an oversized convenience store, without the convenience of actually selling anything of value.
The entire place feels like a flea market where drab garments go to die before being shlepped away to China and Romania and sold per pound. Speaking of which, that’s probably where they came from in the first place. A trendy, hipster fashion? Uhm, not unless your version of a trendy hipster is a homeless person. To achieve the trendy, hipster look, go next door to Odin, or 12 blocks south to Epaulet. Rag & Bone is always a safe (if expensive) bet, and so is Unis. If you want a chain store, go to J. Crew. Heck even Uniqlo is better than this.
Seriously, unless you are shopping here on a dare, avoid this place at all costs.

Ya know, it’s just lost a lot of it’s luster. It’s kind of like Kids R Us for hipsters.

I guess there is a pretty good selection of clothes here. Mostly women’s clothes here and yes there is a men’s section. Last time I FOUND myself here was the second time that I was here and honestly both times because the girl I was with wanted to look for a new «cool» shirt or whatever. I had to just stand around like a typical guy and wait for the wardrobe change. It is a nice area of the east village, so you will find some trendy stuff at reasonable prices.

my favorite place to shop. pretty good selection at this store. I would recommend checking out their online store as well.
if you like trendy, hipster fashion then you’ll looooove the clothing at this store!

Don’t bother shopping anywhere other than in the sale section at Urban. Everything else is wildly overpriced. I personally love their ballet flats. At $ 30, they’re a great deal, but they will probably just last you one season. In general, their shoes are comfortable and stylish. They also have a great selection of jeans, mostly skinny jeans. Their jewelry is very cheap, though. Steer clear because it’s likely to leave your fingers/​neck/​wrist green… not fun. Urban also has amazing quirky nicknacks. If you need some stocking stuffers around the holidays, head to Urban. You’ll definitely find a couple of funny things to give your friends.

Exclusive novelty items, but still…
Do you really wanna drop your whole entire paycheck on a weathered vintage superhero tee?
I may be exaggerating. What I mean is, would you wanna spend HALF of your paycheck?

It’s funny; I go here almost every day with a little dachshund who loves this store. So I browse it and I tell you, I’m just not into the «chick» vibe of the women’s clothes, which are all made in China anyway. There are housewares, giftwares, and even bestselling books like «Sh*t my dad says,» but I’m not inspired to buy anything here. Herbie the dachshund loves it here, however, and interestingly he always wants to head right back for the fitting rooms!
One year a few years ago I got my Xmas cards from here; I looked at the backs of them, and saw that even they were printed in China. I think I’m not of the demographic this store is trying to sell to.

This is really a three star situation for being a bit cramped BUT they had the Mirror/​Dash brand leopard print dress in a Large and I was able to exchange my small (small fit but I like to breathe) I was SO happy-​the staff was nice. A little off the beaten path but kinda nice considering they have all the stuff all the other UO stores have.
Did I mention how much I love my dress designed by the who I want to be when I grow up kim gordon???

Red penny loafers — $ 38 dollars.
Ostrich doctor leather bag — $ 68 dollars.
Amazing blowout sale: Same loafers and Ostrich bag each for $ 19 dollars.
My total? 41.75 including tax.
Hallefuckinglujah.
Now that’s what I call «shopping.»

Recession be damned. I had to leave yesterday after almost having a trantrum because I wanted:
— Pink mixing spoons in the form of hearts
— Too many Bohemian dresses that were all $ 68
— Cute apartment knick knacks that really have no purpose other than making me happy
— Broke Ass Stuart’s Book (!!) yay
But I had zero moola so I could only pick out what I wanted for my Wish List. Which took a long time. Seriously, this Urban is the best one with the best selection.
And it’s right across from 16 Handles, which my roommates and friends now call «Nicole’s Favorite Place» and I’m not sure how I feel about that. I think I feel embarassed.

2 stories: street level is for women and downstairs is the men’s and the sales racks as well as some home furnishings. The layout seemed a bit messy, but it could have been because it was the end of the day and people had gone through the store.
Unilocalers have said this is the best one for sales… I found some cute items (which I didn’t purchase), but I think all the good stuff has been taken already (since all the x-​small and small sizes were gone).
