Lower East Side
A.W. Kaufman
Call it witchcraft or just decades of experience, but the employees at the family-run storefront can pluck the best piece for a client’s silhouette just by eyeing her. A.W. Kaufman’s decor is nondescript and verges on ramshackle, as men’s and women’s briefs, boxers and bras are stowed in plastic bins, and you can’t try things on. But the high-quality, oft-discounted European offerings and the old-school service are what make this place legendary. 73 Orchard St between Broome and Grand Sts (212-226-1629)
