Metropolis Vintage has left 3rd Avenue; new Broadway space debuts today

The all-new location is expected to open today.

The shop had been at No. 43 for the past 23 years. As we've noted, Richard Colligan first opened the store in 1990 at 96 Avenue B between Sixth Street and Seventh Street...

In June 2017, Metropolis Vintage unveiled a new logo for the shop designed by Punk magazine co-founder (and East Village resident) John Holmstrom.
