Cool Shop in Bushwick | Things to do in New York ✨

This shop is located on Bogart St . In artsy fartsy Bushwick. But I have heard people refer to it as East Williamsburg. Since I walked from home I think it’s Bushwick 😂

Just a short walk from the L train at Morgan Av . It’s my favorite place to dilly dally. I always find the cutest trinkets. Like a match shaped lighter or cute key chains.

They also have cute vintage clothes and super cool home decor.

Walking into Friends NYC in Bushwick feels like stepping into a curated wonderland. As someone who loves exploring unique shops, I can confidently say this boutique stands out among other Bushwick stores. It’s conveniently located just a short stroll from the Morgan Avenue L train stop, making it super accessible for a fun afternoon of browsing. What truly makes Friends NYC special is its incredible mix of new and vintage items. You never know what you'll find, which is half the fun! On my last visit, I spent ages sifting through their impressive collection of vintage clothes. They have everything from quirky graphic tees to timeless dresses, all in fantastic condition. It’s the perfect place to discover that one-of-a-kind piece that elevates your wardrobe. Beyond fashion, Friends NYC is a goldmine for home decor and unique gifts. The shelves are packed with delightful and sometimes hilarious trinkets. I’ve seen everything from fun keychains and match-shaped lighters to more specific finds like the 'Jesus Washed And WASHES AWAY EVERYTHING BUT YOUR SINS' soap – perfect for a chuckle or a quirky present! They also stock fascinating books, like 'SPELLWORK for SELF-CARE,' which really speaks to the store's eclectic and thoughtful curation. One of the beauty products that caught my eye, and is quite popular, is the TONYMOLY HAEYO MAYO HAIR NUTRITION PACK. It's designed for dry and damaged hair with nourishing ingredients like egg yolk and shea butter. It’s these unexpected finds, a mix of practical and whimsical, that make Friends NYC a true boutique experience in New York. Whether you're hunting for a specific item like the Haeyo Mayo treatment, or just want to dilly-dally and see what treasures reveal themselves, this spot truly embodies the creative spirit of Bushwick. It's more than just a shop; it’s an experience for anyone who appreciates individuality and charm.
