-
Homage
151 Smith St, Brooklyn, New York
No bros looking down on you because you don't know the difference between an aerial and an ollie at this laid-back Brooklyn shop. -
Supreme
274 Lafayette St, New York, NY
This skateboarding mecca is so cool that almost every serious skater from Japan makes it a must-see on their travel itinerary. -
New York Pipe Dreams
1623 York Ave, New York, NY
Acronyms, irony and quality skate gear come together at playfully named NYPD. -
Dave's Quality Meat
7 E 3rd St, New York, NY
Sorry hungry dudes, no salami here--only fresh shoes, clothes and skateboards from hip brands including the store's eponymous label. -
KCDC Skate Shop
90 N 11th St, Brooklyn, NY
A skate ramp, art gallery and skate shop all in one, right next to Beacon's Closet and the Brooklyn Brewery. It's like I've died and gone to Williamsburg hipster heaven! -
Autumn Skateboard Shop
436 E 9th St, New York, NY
Locals only at this tiny East Village shop--local skateboard companies that is. -
Recon/Nort
359 Lafayette St, New York, NY
If you are terrified by the thought of some other skater sporting the same rare Nikes as you, this is your place.
