Century 21

22 Cortlandt Street
New York, NY 10007

This self proclaimed “New York’s Best kept secret” is a huge department store entirely devoted to big bargains on name brands. Located right across the World Trade Center site, Century 21 is the paradise for all the Fashion Queens who relish on designer clothes.

The huge first floor is home to the Men’s fashion department and sells everything from European designers (Energie, Diesel, Dolce & Gabbana…) to street wear (Max Ecko, G-Unit), to Jeans and sportswear. You will most likely only find last season’s items, but the big savings make it all worth it regardless.

The men underwear department is always a favorite among style conscious homos who stock on immaculate Calvin Klein briefs and 2xist boxers sold for only a few bucks. Other bargains include authentic G-Star jeans and shirt at half price, and a wide selection of ghetto fabulous rags from Sean John, Max Ecko, Akademiks and the likes… You should come armed with patience though, as it is usually necessary to dig deep into the racks to unearth the right fit and separate the good grain from the ryegrass. But the effort is definitely worth the sorrow of it.
