 Yes, another New York hot spot, but this one is backed up not by one, but 2 popular names. I’m sure you, urban art connoisseurs and sneaker heads, heard of Stash and Futura, right? Well, if you haven’t, they are world renowned graffiti/tag/street/graphic artists/designers. They are pretty much contemporary icons of the urban art scene, and together they formed Recon and Nort, a store where you can find both of their solid, provocative works, alongside their fall/winter 2008 capsule collection (for which they worked with Sweden’s WESC brand) of T-shirts, knitwear and denim, all featuring trademark art and graphics by Stash. From the spray paint touched walls to the cargo camo cover draped on the back staircase, this is no ordinary shop.

 Whenever you find yourself in Park Slope and don’t want to go all the way into the city to buy some nice shoes, check out Premium Goods (formerly from Fort Green), on fifth avenue. Premium Goods, and its sister, next door, Wndrlnd, are both owned by Clarence Nathan, the big deal designer of urban footwear. While Premium Goods caters to both sexes, Wndrlnd is a boutique just for the ladies. Located right next door, and replacing a beauty-supply boutique, Wndrlnd is stocked with footwear from Nike, Vans and Keds. But this is not a place just for the feet. Here, in the glowing light of purple neon, you can also find a great assortment of clothing and accessories, like Hells Bells tees, A Peace Treaty scarves, Essie polishes and separates from designer Olga Kapustina.

 The origin of the name of this shop comes from meme (pronounced mi: m), a unit of cultural information, a cultural practice or idea, that is transmitted verbally from one mind to another by learning or imitation. Examples include thoughts, ideas, theories, gestures, practices, FASHIONS, habits, songs, and dances. Great name and ambitious project. Yes, maybe someone should take over the minds of all humans and dress them all in a hip, cool, fresh style. Not a bad idea at all, if the clothes are coming from Memes, a very small shop, with not too much hype, hidden within the streets and buildings of New York.

 What comes to mind when you see this name? A butcher shop? A restaurant? A sandwich shop? A catering company?
Well, guess no more, because you’d be wrong, anyway. Besides an amazing in store, visual display, Dave’s Quality Meat has nothing to do with food and protein, but everything to do with a shop that houses DQM, a unique, cultural brand and amazing line with roots in New York’s downtown community, the streetwear for the skater, the biker, or the cool guy connoisseur.
