If first impressions is truly a measuring guide in the shopping market then all of NYC should be shopping at the "Cockpit". I felt both Awe and Pride when I first glanced in this store, or should I say museum. As a veteran of the US Army and as a professional Advocate for Veterans and their families, it was a tremendously proud feeling seeing the best of what America stands for represented in the Cockpit...and the best part...you can purchase a piece of that history and look amazingly stylish at the same time. I highly-highly recommend this museum store for taking the family on an inexpensive educational shopping spree. Its like going to the American Museum and buying whats behind the glass. The owners were especially warm and helpful, having served in the US MIlitary themselves and it sure reflects in the museum quality displays throughout the store. But again, I must emphasize the high quality yet inexpensiveness of the merchandise. So please, do yourself a favor, walk down to Bleeker and Broadway, find the "Cockpit", and enter the epitomy "Americana" ....and purchase parts of it for yourself and others.
