Fine And Dandy

If you’re in Manhattan and need to accessorize your look, search no further than Fine And Dandy.
From bow ties and tie clips to zany-​colored shoe laces or suspenders, they have the best selection you could hope for. It may be off the beaten path, but it’s worth a short jaunt down the street off of 9^th Avenue to get there.
At the time of this review, they have 21 reviews on Unilocal… all 21 of which are 5 stars. I’ve never seen this before. But it’s warranted.

LOVE love love this place. I went in looking for a gift for a friend and walked out with the perfect items lovingly wrapped! The delightful mix of vintage and new pieces could keep me browsing the store all day. There’s an added bonus that the owners are extremely friendly and knowledgeable. A place like this could easily be intimidating and pretentious, but Fine and Dandy manages to be high quality, warm, and welcoming.

Amazing boutique store, and super friendly owners. They design most of their own products, and you’ll struggle to find more knowledgeable gents in the city about men’s fashion.
I came to the store with no idea about New York fashion, and left with a much more firm grasp of how I’d like to present myself. They offer to amazing and expert advice.
The goods are also very well priced for such unique and high quality products.

I ordered some suspenders from their online website. The product arrived quickly and worked very well. Unfortunately there was a small defect. I emailed my issue to Matt and he was very understanding and promptly sent me a replacement which arrived quickly as well.
Overall a great experience with Fine And Dandy and I highly recommend them. Their customer service was excellent.

Charming store; my partner and I visited from San Diego over the weekend. It was nice getting to meet Enrique, half of the F&D duo, and really get a sense of how passionate these guys are about their business and what it represents. The store is jam-​packed with men’s accessories and makes perfect use of the tiny space it occupies. It’s like being a kid in a candy store. Budget was restricted at this point in our trip – to my dismay – but I can’t wait to visit again and really stock up on some fabulous, unique bow ties, lapel pins and other gentlemanly goodies. Prices are moderate to pricey – depending on what you’re looking for. They have everything from stationery to suspenders, one-​of-​a-​kind cuff links, wallets and men’s jewelry. It’s all high-​quality and unique stuff, so you definitely get what you pay for. Enrique was warm and friendly, engaging and really interested to know his would-​be customers. A drink was offered (nice touch) and we really felt at home from the moment we walked in. This is what class is all about – the personal, thoughtful touch. Charming storefront, great owners and great products.

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Original and selective items at reasonable prices. Excellent atmosphere and cool music.

The guys who run the place f’n rule and kudos to Ruggy for putting together the event to highlight Fine and Dandy.
There’s only a few places like this around the city and the selection here skews more toward their own label as opposed to other people’s merchandise. With that in mind it’s a tightly curated selection of tasteful grooming products and other haberdashery.
So if you are just out of university and are still unashamedly sporting the douchy backwards baseball cap plus cargo shorts/​sweat pants plus the stupid Dave Matthews Band shirt and wondering why the members of the opposite sex (or the same sex) never approach you to roll around with them, this place is a good place to start the process of de-​dorking yourself. And even if you are too cheap to really invest in your personal appearance, as most of the stuff here seems to be $ 29, the damage to the wallet will be lighter vs going to the department stores which won’t have nearly the array of cool stuff to be found here.
Not many other places where you can stop in and get a real metal cigarette case, a bowler hat, a whiskey flask, and a walking stick with a hidden compass (would have been more dramatic of it had a knife). Goddam makes me want to take up smoking and drinking again.

If you’re a gentleman lacking game in the style department, you could use a trip to Fine And Dandy.
As is stands, I’m about as dapper as I can be hailing from San Diego and San Francisco. Growing up in Southern California means shorts and t-​shirts year round. In San Francisco it’s acceptable to dine in a Michelin Star rated restaurant in a hoodie and Chuck Taylors. It’s California — it’s laid back. I’ve now been in New York for several years and my wardrobe becomes more and more refined as time passes. But thanks to this men’s boutique, I can see that bell curve accelerating faster than ever.
Whether you’re looking for house made bow ties and scarves or a variety of grooming products, trinkets, suspenders, cocktail books, etc… Fine And Dandy carry a surprisingly huge selection. I say «surprising» because their store can’t be more than 300 square feet, yet somehow they have hundreds of different items dotting their store shelves. No single space is wasted, and it’s jam packed full of fun items you’ll want to have in your arsenal.
It’s a little *tricky to get to if you don’t live in Hell’s Kitchen, but it’s worth the jaunt.
*Tricky = lazy. It’s only two avenues from the C and E lines… c’mon!

Thank you Ruggy for always finding new and interesting places for Unilocalers to explore and this place was exceptional!
There was a Unilocal local holiday shop event here tonight and boy was I glad I made it here. It is a bit of a trek Uptown for me, but somehow, I knew I would not be disappointed. I don’t usually find myself in an all men’s retail store, but since it is the holidays, I needed to find splendid unique gifts for all the XY specimens in my life.
From the moment I walked in, I knew it was going to be a good experience. The store caters to the dandy man in your life and well, I have a few of those around…
Holiday music playing, beautiful merchandise everywhere, from bow ties to suspenders to sock garters to pocket watches, you will find something for every single debonair and suave man in your life here.
Enrique and Matt, the proprietors of the shop, were very knowledgeable, courteous, nice and helpful. They help me find 75% of the gifts I needed! Yea, shopping during the holidays doesn’t need to stressful when coming here.
I was able to snag a bow tie (1 for $ 55 and 2 for $ 99), a money clip ($ 29), a tie pin ($ 29) and a great vintage book all for around $ 100.
Thanks again Ruggy, Enrique and Matt for a wonderful experience. I’ll be sure to come back when I need more gifts for that special XY someone…

Absolutely great place offering classic menswear accessories at obscenely reasonable prices. The owners are friendly and helpful.

A true dandy’s dream! Matt and Enrique have a beautiful selection of men’s accessories, including their own collection of beautiful pocket squares. It’s remarkable what they can pack into a tiny store. I found myself lost in a reverie of patterns and textures. They even have a few vintage items with tremendous character. I’m very grateful for the perfect help I received in choosing a gift. Couldn’t be happier!

Shoes… check, suit… check, and shirt… check. But oh wait what about cuff links, a flask, pocket square, suspenders, belts, bow ties, socks, shoe horns, tie clip, and lapel pin? Don’t you fret fine gentleman. Fine and Dandy is here to save the day so you can accessorize to the point of being the most dapper man at whatever function you are going to.
I have spent a good amount of time chatting with the owners and learned that just about everything is for sale if you are willing to pay the right price (except for family heirlooms of course). They also have sweaters, scarves, hats, pillows, gentleman’s guides, and much more that I am forgetting at this very moment.
Thanks to these guys I killed it at the jazz age lawn party, my friends wedding, at work constantly, and on random Tuesday evenings when I feel like snazzying up.
It may be a little out of the way and a tiny bit pricey but it is a fantastic store and worth checking out if you can make your way past 9^th avenue.

Great store for accessories with character.

Visiting NYC on a Father and Son/​Law School Graduation trip and we discovered Fine And Dandy searching on line for the best places for men’s furnishings. I am so glad we found them. Entrepreneurs Matt and Enrique go out of their way (or maybe that is their way) to make the visit to Fine and Dandy interesting because of the varied selection of quality accessories, their genuinely engaging personalities and a sincere interest to cultivate relationships whether a sale is in the offing or not. The store is small, but well stocked. There are very few places I have found with the unique items and choices they have, especially of braces, boutonnières and… spats! That was a new item of wardrobe I had not previously considered… not to mention a bowler (part of an interesting selection of hats including boaters, bowlers and even a top hat or two). Nice selection of ties, cuff links, pocket squares, socks, scarves and even some books of interest to those who like to dress with style, class and panache. Matt and Enrique were also helpful in suggesting some great places for dinner after the theater that night. I had called the store for subway directions from 25^th and Broadway and they were so helpful, being instantly able to reel off the best subway line to find and take and the stop to exit. I really had no idea what to expect when we arrived, but was delighted by what we did find. They were so hospitable to offer these weary travelers glasses of cold, sparkling water (isn’t it still called seltzer in New York?) This was not just a stop. This was not just «shopping.» It really was a fun experience to meet, chat with and do business with entrepreneurs who have a real passion for their business, care about what they do, want their customers to recall the visit favorably and who will want to return. Sometimes it can be difficult to shop in a smaller store if the sales people get too intense and sales oriented. The merchandise at Fine and Dandy is so unique and interesting, it sells itself. I plan to shop online from their website which is very nicely done, especially for a boutique store. But I am really looking forward to a return visit the next time I am in NYC. Thank you Matt and Enrique for helping make a nice father and son vacation even nicer. Cheers!

This shop is like a magic wardrobe of possibilities :-)

Love this place! I met the owners and they offered me a Becks while I shopped and boy did I shop. So many cool manly fashion odds and ends. And so many stories from the owners. I will definitely be back.

I needed a last minute birthday gift for my brother and found Fine and Dandy online so I dropped by after work. I will definitely have this spot as a go-​to when I need something for the men in my life. The two gents there that helped me out were friendly and efficient. They even gift-​wrapped. I was in and out quickly and it was just a super pleasant experience.

I love love love love love this store. I knew it as «the dapper store» because of its sign outside that attracted us to go inside.
Bow ties, ties, tie bars, tie clips, unique handmade accessories for men. You can even get a free bow tie tying lesson with certificate! Vintage yet modern.
Come inside. It’s small, but you are sure to find something special in here.

Really a neat little gem. These guys have been running their business online for some time now and decided that they should make a run at a brick and mortar store.
The location they chose is unfortunately off the beaten path, but the cozy little store is filled with unique, handsome, largely hand-​made in NYC/​USA accessories that are all pretty reasonably priced. This is the sort of place that one can really only find in New York.
The guys (couple?) who run it are very knowledgable, friendly, pleasant and themselves quite fashionable. At least one of them is manning the store at any given moment.
I won’t hesitate to recommend this place to my friends who are looking for interesting, unique clothes for a reasonable price.
cheers.
