Burkina NYC is closing shop on First Avenue



Back in the fall of 2011, hip-hop clothing shop Burkina NYC moved from its home of the last 16 years on East Houston to a new location on First Avenue near East Fourth Street.

EVG reader @DishWithDina passed along word the other day that the shop is closing... and everything seems to be on sale...



Apparently a rent hike isn't to blame for the closure of the store that specializes in NYC-branded T-shirts, hoodies and hats … just a lousy economy.

    That's a shame. We've had several of their designs over the years. I better take the pixie soon and let him get whatever he wants, including in sizes he'll grow into. He's been wanting their God is A DJ shirt.
