SLOPPY JOE'S, DIRTY JANE

444 Broadway
[4, 5, 6 to Spring Street]

Years ago, my parents made me throw out all my t-shirts. I don't know why, but after the great extermination, the tees never really repopulated: I didn't have the time, the money or the desire to spend $15 for a great graphic tee. Until now.

On my search of Soho, wandered into the store with the fun name without really thinking. Signs everywhere read Sale! $20 each, 2 for $35 ! So my inner New Yorker - who never pays retail, for ANYTHING - had to wonder what kind of a deal this was. And then, I found a short with the old school 7-Up logo and completely crumbled. Then I saw another shirt saying Aww Yeah! and gave up. So yeah, another $40 (including tax) down the drain.
