Where can I get a neck tie in this one-horse town

November 13, 2013 10:37 AM

Where can I buy a cheap, solid red neck tie in NYC? Preferably in Soho, or anywhere along the west side?

I just need a solid red tie. Uniqlo and H&M have the prices I'm looking for (like 15 bucks) but of course they're all weird and hip and skinny or have a flat end or a stupid pattern. Not trying to be Justin Timberlake here, just need a solid red tie - normal width and shape.

Best answer: You can order this one from Macy's. Or get it in Jersey City.

What about Marshalls or Century 21?

Response by poster: Sorry, forgot to mention - obviously I can easily find them online but I need the tie ASAP, as in, by the end of the day today. Which is why I need to purchase in person.

Marshalls is worth a shot, I forgot about them.

Any of those street vendors that sells ties will surely have a cheap solid red tie. I think there's usually one on 51st and 6th, but I bet there are plenty more out there, and hopefully one more convenient to you? Then again, maybe they switch to pashminas for the winter?

Best answer: Yes, street vendors. There's a ton in the financial district (along Broadway) and there's also a guy who's usually set up near the American Apparel at 73rd-ish and Broadway. If you go to the UWS, you could also check out the Loehmans, Syms, and Century 21. There's also a TJMaxx near Columbus Circle.

Nordstrom Rack in Union Square.

There's a Century 21 off Rector as well. There's a Syms by there as well, but I think it is closed.

Best answer: (I had a whole collection of cheap, solid, "normal" ties from that specific C21 back in the day.)

Tiecoon in Penn Station exists for times like this.
