NYC / Where's the best shop for (winter) clothing?
Hi there NYC-ers,
I'm wondering if anyone can recommend shops in the city that carry a good selection of cycling clothing, specifically winter gear. I'm a huge fan of Descente and Craft, so any stores that carry those brands would be great. I like to be able to try the stuff on too.
Thanks in advance...

Last year Toga on the west side had a good selection of winter gear, I haven't been in there in a while though. Also Piermont, but they're in Piermont and Tenafly, not NYC. Paragon too as suggested already.
The good shops that don't have good winter gear selection would be Sids and R&A. They just don't carry much. Just listing all these makes me realize how few good shops there are in NYC.
I've been tempted to just order online for winter stuff as almost nobody in NYC carries it.

Paragon is worthwhile but not cheap. The have season-ending sales that are worth checking out. I usually order online since few shops carry more than one brand or even a full line of any manufactuer.
