The Sock Man, East Village, Manhattan
Lately a number of trendy shops and companies have opened that sell stylish socks. However The Sock Man has been in business since 1983! You could say that he was way ahead of the fashion trend.
Located on the historic Saint Mark’s Place, the birth place of punk music and an artistic haven when you could be a poor starving artist in New York City.
He carries a very large selection of socks to suit all tastes and many with images on them. He carries stock for women, children and men. In his own words “Representing almost one-third of your total body weight, your legs are quite crucial to your body. What you choose to wear on your legs is an important and often difficult decision.”
