Boozy Shopping in NYC: J. Crew Men's Shop
August 21, 2008 at 12:00 PM | 1 Comment
Setting foot into J. Crew's new Tribeca Mens Shop, you might feel like you just walked into a Wes Anderson movie. Housed in the former Liquor Bar space, the store does the preppy, Americana, boarding school style to a tee.
Mixing fantasy and reality, shopping and hanging out, the store envelops shoppers in a secret world of club ties, loafers and booze. The store is J. Crew's first men's only location, and mixes J. Crew products and a selection of partner items. Store designer Andy Spade was inspired by the White Horse Tavern in New York City's West Village and kept as much of the bar vibe as possible. You can even pour yourself a drink while browsing.
The Mens Shop opens this weekend. Future plans include seminars on wine, chess and figure drawing based on Andy Spade's forthcoming book What a Man Should Know.
