“What Goes Around Comes Around in SoHo is a two-room boutique with one side focusing on men’s (really unisex) and the other on women’s,” Wang tells us. “It’s great for vintage Chanel bags and designer gems, and it has my favorite selection of vintage tees, denim, and leather belts.”

“10 Ft.

“Front General Store in DUMBO is a very curated experience,” Wang notes. “It has the most amazing vintage military and Americana.”
