Since moving to NY from LA, Tokio7 has been the only store coming close to the bargins I use to find on Melrose (i.e. Wasteland, Crossroads). They have a great selection of contempory used and new clothing at prices that are affordable. Marc Jacobs cashmere sweater for $50, Theory pants for less than $50, suits for $150, great party dresses, decent bag selection. I live nearby, so I stop in practically weekly and there's almost always something I want to buy. Shoe selection can be weak at times, unless you have a size 9 feet, and you have to pick over some of the random stuff. These same items are a lot cheaper in LA though. Now I'm just waiting for Buffalo Exchange to open a store in NY!
Pros: prices, selection
Cons: sizes
