Geeky Shopping in NYC: AC Gears

April 28, 2008 at 3:00 PM | 1 Comment

As Matt Gross recently reminded us, heading to Japan isn't cheap. So how are we supposed to get our mitts on fun little gizmos and cool presents for our friends? NYC's AC Gears has you covered.

The Greenwich Village shop is a retail outlet for AudioCubes, so half of the space is dedicated to headphones from the tiny to the ultra-pro and pricey. The other side of the store is all about little robots, funky toys, USB gizmos and other assorted stuff. (They basically have everything in Japan.) We of course had our eyes on the travel gear like alarm clocks and flashy jump drives.

New products are always coming in from the shop's home office in Osaka, so you can never be quite sure what you'll dig up. If it doesn't already sound geeky enough, check AC Gears' Flickr page for more intel.
