You will not find better priced army bags in town! Owner was so kind and extremely helpful. Store has a very wide selection of bags making it easy to find something just right for your purpose. I came in to get a sturdy and comfortable work bag for my job dog walking and found a perfect messenger bag and matching belt bag for treats and quick access items.
Henry is indeed the sweetest man alive.
Tip: He loves sharing stories.
Aside from that, his stuffs are the real deal. Got a backpack for only $45, and found out that it is the same backpack he has been carrying for 7 years.
Gloves for $3 - what a steal. Wool military grade beanie for only $16. Support your neighbourhood with him! For tourists, he is the new institution of NYC. Google his name and you will know more.
Years ago i would visit Henry for a good travel duffle bag in a pinch without breaking the bank. Sometimes I'd find him napping on a pile of the display bags and I'd come back later xD but no matter what your surplus needs are he would always share a story and treat you like a friend as well as a customer.
When I mentioned that I had been to China several times he shared stories of the mainland before the industrial manufacturing push and how when he came to the US as an immigrant he was amazed at how much money he could make even though he was paid nothing more than a few dollars an hour.
That gratitude and hard work are still manifest in the shop today. Even though the neighborhood has changed Henry has preserved the NY character of merchant & customer relationship in a way that's a living testament to times past.
The shop owner Henry is genuinely the kindest and smartest guy in NYC. I went in looking for cargo pants, and Henry immediately went into the back and grabbed my exact size without me even having to say what my size is. Good prices and plenty of options. Henry is THAT guy!
Just a lovely experience overall, the owner is so sweet and kind! I took time out to go look for a new bag and came across his shop on google, so grateful I decided to come here! The owner was so lovely I really havent been around someone like that in a long time, made my day for sure. Will definitely be coming back for a bomber jacket 👍 Definitely recommend stopping in and picking something up! great prices!!
