The Choosy Beggar

Friday through Sunday, Christopher Fischer is hosting a sample sale on his line of cashmere sweaters. [NY Mag]

No, that ain’t the Alamo. It’s A.P.C.’s Surplus Store in Williamsburg, where, right now, you’ll find the best deals on the nicest fall/winter wear in all of New York City. Seriously, it’s the chance of finding sales like this that get us out of bed in the morning.
It’s a bit of a walk from the Bedford stop on the L line, but the weather’s pristine this week (!), and the Surplus Store is located on what could be the nicest little block in Williamsburg.

Racked, God bless ‘em, gained entry to the Hermès sale after 3 hours, and found ties for $100, men’s loafers for $300, and white button-down shirts for a mere $1,050!
