Places to shop in Lower Manhattan/Lower East Side/Orchard Street? I'll be in the area and probably check out selfedge, but I'm looking for other places to check out as well. High end or low end I'm willing to check out anything.

Walk around and go in everywhere. LES has a lot of cool little places and really the only way to find the best stuff is to dig through them all. Walk down the street and go anywhere that catches your eye.

This. "Where to shop in lower Manhattan" is like "where to run up, yank a stroller, and steal a kid in Park Slope," Or "where to get a cocktail in North Brooklyn," or "where to hear a band you've never heard of in Bushwick," or "where to buy unexotic drugs in Bed-Stuy," or "where to find a shul in Crown Heights."

Someone do more of these. "Where to find a squattable building in Detroit." "Where to find a Waffle House along a southern highway."

No offense, OP. If you give us more information on your style we might be able to say more, but next to maybe Paris, and for select styles Tokyo and Milan, you're walking on the most /fa/ soil on Earth. The trees grow selvedge leaves, the streets are asymmetrical and bias cut (no, really) and everyone is dressed to be or become somebody.

i prefer simple, minimal designs, but with attention to detail--good fabrics, construction, etc. But I also like a good bargain where I can find it so any stores that have clearance sections will be more worth my time than ones that don't

That post wasn't me. I didn't go to NYU & If I did I wouldn't be proud of it. What they've done to the village is a disgrace.

Go to Atelier, Hotovelli and the RO boutique, OP. Just for the hell of it.
While you're in NYC you should consider taking the 7 train a few stops out to queens and getting a look at the Five Points graffiti museum. I'm sad to say that after protests, negotiations and hubbub galore, the whole building has been bought outright by developers and will be turned into luxury condos soon.
This building was the ever changing epicenter of graffiti art in new york and by some accounts, the world. People came from all over to paint it, and it's beautiful & free. See it before you leave town, OP. You'll never have another chance and you deserve to be floored by it's beauty.
