Its unbeatable prices and knowledgeable staff earned it a loyal following, making it a cultural landmark near the World Trade Center. Though it closed in 2014, J&R lives on as a nostalgic icon of New York City’s retail history. For those who shopped there, it brings back vivid memories of the vibrant 70s and 80s. Celebrate this piece of retro history with a vintage J&R T-shirt—a perfect gift for anyone who wants to relive the magic of discovering hidden treasures in the bustling aisles of a New York institution.
