Trendy T-Shirts and a Haircut

The Fiesta Fashion has gone and done it again!

Actually, the banner promising that The Fiesta Barbershop is Coming Soon! and the deal of Spend $100 - get a free haircut has been up for a while. But that doesn't make it any less exciting. I've always been curious about this store. It opened about a year or two ago (time is a blur to me lately), and it just looks out of place on 41st just up from 5th Avenue.

Has anyone shopped there? Do you have to buy $100 in t-shirts, or can it be $100 in haircuts? Does it carry stuff from that skater guy? Do tell.

amNewYork Stretches Reality in Sunset Park

Can someone let me know where the hipster shops are in Sunset Park? According to amNewYork, Sunset Park has "hipster joints open[ing] next door to mom-and-pop Spanish shops." It doesn't mention Happy Days or any of the 3rd Avenue "shoppes" in its list. Not even the bizarre Fiesta Fashion gets a nod. The list of stores includes the famous Mr. C's cycles, My Secret Place (no, no, not THAT kind of shop), and Keonoar Dos Sports. Apparently, My Secret Place - actually a used clothing shop - is counted as hipster. I guess I have to call it vintage then.

The article also mentions "mommies power-walk[ing] Bugaboo strollers that cost more than their neighbor's car." I guess I'm less observant than I thought I was. Which one is a Bugaboo?

It doesn't mention Irish Haven or El Tesoro in its bar/restaurant round-up. It does, however, mention Tacos 2004! Sex on the Beach can be had there.

Ah well. Check out the article here; do you think it is an accurate portrayal of the neighborhood?
