Oh, I also like that stretch of Elizabeth in SoHo btwn Houston and Prince Street. Though if you've got a store there, maybe you've already "made it"?

Definitely the Market (young designer's market) at the community center on Mulberry Street, and EdgeNY on Bleecker.

Seven New York on Mercer. They have really weird stuff you've never heard of, and if something clicks with you it's a lifetime keeper.

the young designer's market on mulberry is pretty good. i think they have an outpost somewhere on hudson st also.

I like looking at sneakers at places like Classickicks, Nort/Recon, and Alife on Rivington.

Also, that little stretch of people selling jewelery on Prince street in SoHo has some interesting stuff.
