Budding trendsters in the early 1980s did their shopping at Broadway and Astor Place or in the East Village. Where else could you find a cheap shapeless men’s overcoat on which to stick your Big Audio Dynamite pin, or a heavily shoulder-padded oversize suit jacket to accent your rhinestone earrings?
Antique Boutique was a major destination, with rows and rows of old baseball jackets and vintage jeans.
Cheap Jack’s eventually moved to Broadway and 13th Street. They’re now on Fifth Avenue and 31st Street.
