yea fight club is cool to just check out even if you don't wanna drop any money. i'd say just look around wherever you're going and check out skate shops or even bigger places like champs and stuff. they always have more stuff than a normal store in the mall would have.
Check out A Life theres 2 stores right next to each other, butI think the shoestore part is called rivington club. Also go to Dave's Quality Meat in the meat packing district. Both of them have crazy limited edition shoes
