Urban Outfitters

I’m bias. I love Urban Outfitters. I have yet to find one that I do not like in the city.

When I come to think of it, this was the first Urban Outfitters I EVER went to! I remember coming here with my cousins back in the mid-​90s, back from a weekend when I came to visit them. I was in 7^th grade and felt so cool because I spent $ 16 on a metallic purple bottle of Urban Decay nail polish.
The things that were cool in 1997… ;-)
I come here on occasion, and I’ve always been pleased with this bi-​level location. The products are the same as most of their other locations. Everything is organized, in its place, and easy to find. I have no complains and love coming here when I’m in the neighborhood; I find it a little less overwhelming than their 14^th and 6^th Avenue location right up the street.

It’s hard to be impressed by customer service when it’s so common but i was inspired to write this because Carolyn (sp) was so helpful. In trying to locate an item for me she went way above and beyond the call of duty and it really feels like the least I could do to thank her. Thanks Carolyn.

I’ve shopped here a few times in the past, but never really found anything until recently. Lately I have gotten MANY cute pieces for super cheap. Now if you’re reading my review, you know urban outfitters is not cheap in the slightest, so I stay to the clearance/​sale section. Some of the stuff there is still over priced, but I found a bunch of pieces for my vacation. The place is TINY so do not be fooled. The shoe section is also very small with not great shoes (only found one pair I liked in a year+ of going there).
They have a good vinyl section and have a bunch of record players.
The sale section is a mess but as I mentioned before, there are great shoes. One time when I went, there was a guy who ran the dressing room who made me feel awkward. He looked like he wanted to be anywhere else, but there and was standing in front of my dressing room door waiting for me to leave, although they didn’t close till 5 hours later and no one else was there. But the latest time I went, there was a super sweet woman who helped me a bunch! I do not recall her name but she’s the only nice and aware employee there. Everyone else seems dead from the neck up (sorry guys). I find it as more of a sale/​clearance rack store than new items. Although they have a lot of lingerie and jewelry.

I love to come here and shop. The employees are wonderful, always there to help. It’s always nice and clean and I can always find what I’m looking for. They go above and beyond here at this location

Although I really like the things they have, this location doesn’t offer as many options and is less organized than the other stores

I have no problem with their products or merchandising but the staff at this location are absolutely horrifying. They are rude, do not pay any attention to customers, and even the managers do not know how to use their own POS. Sad to see a retailer with so little attention to detail and customer service, the do a huge disservice to the brands that they sell.

So the store was bigger than I thought it was going to be … but basically the entire place is clothes. I know, I know that’s what most people shop for in Urban Outfitters… but I was looking for some stuff for the apt. Is it me or do all the stores seem to have shrinking home-​goods departments? With the exception of a few pint glasses this store really didn’t have a home section. Bummer. I doubt I’ll be back to this location.

This is probably the worst UO in the city.
The selection is so limited due to how small the place is.
It’s good if you want to return an item. But if you’re looking for the full shopping experience. Nope.
I actually like the service I got here, the cashiers were jolly and fun.
And their sale selection downstairs is usually really good. I think it’s because literally nobody comes here.
UO in general is overpriced and obnoxious.
But. Whatever.

I expected a bigger store being that it’s on a nice corner location on 14^th street, but they did have a lot of shoes to choose from in my size which is rare. It’s small but stocked.

Not as wide of a selection of shoes compared to other locations but can’t complain. They actually have a lot of sizes in stock, and their sales are superb. Kimchi blue flats that were originally $ 40, being advertised as $ 20 but actually $ 10??? I was totally in shopper’s heaven.
The only thing I REALLY don’t like about this location is their snail service. Oh and make sure you double check on sale prices because it’s really misleading.

Why do I feel like I am always correcting the cashier on the prices of the sale items? Well, just about every time I purchase something from here on sale I feel as though I’m being tricked. Be wary of sly cashiers folks, I’ve found just about every time I get something on sale with the correct sticker price, the cashiers have always rung up a higher price. I think it’s a conspiracy…
Overall, great finds on sale items.

I like this store, this location in particular. Yes they are on the expensive side for the clothes they carry (I mean c’mon H&M/Forever 21 sells very similar items), but they have some really good sales. I won’t go too much into detail on about the store itself because it is a chain store.
I give this urban outfitters four stars because they don’t lack in the help department, I can always grab a hold of assistance if need be; this store has two floors (unlike the location nearest me which only has one); and they’re are mirrors everywhere so when I’m not buying, but rather gazing, I can remind myself of how stupid fresh-​flyy I am =0
My favorite part of urban outfitters actually is their selection of the most unique books EVER! If you didn’t know, Urban Outfitters has a really genuine vast selection of totally awesome reads. On my last trip, less than a week ago, I discovered a book on how to use your android phone as a professional camera (they have one for iPhones as well). I mean how cool is that?! That probably wasn’t the actual name of the title, but regardless it was a very detailed book on how to make the most out of your android/​iPhone’s camera settings, as well as the free and paid for apps that the phone has to offer. Those are just two books… the list goes on: from cooking to humor to sex.
This store is up to par. I can’t give this place 5 stars because I’ve never bought/​returned anything to deal with terms on that aspect but I can also speak highly of the fact that there is little or no waiting on line to check out. Definitely a store to check out if you’re in the Village, even if it’s for a quick read!

Not as bad as peeps say. To me, this is an Urban «express.» It’s small but stocked. But they don’t seem to have everything the other Urban stores have.
The staff are scantily dressed (nothing wrong with that,) and are helpful.
It’s not my «go to» Urban, but it’s good enough.

I’m too old to wear a lot of the clothes sold at this store, but they have some other neat stuff and I bought some wonderful vanilla-​scented cologne two days ago. The two clerks I encountered were friendly, and I thought the prices overall were reasonable. Also, we liked a particular architectural detail of this store: when they renovated the space and installed the stairs to the lower level, they left the rough concrete flooring exposed and it’s now under glass. Very cool-​looking…

Still consistently good with quality.

I ain’t gonna lie, some of urban’s clothing does catch my eye, even tho you can find less priced clothing in forever 21 or h&m. This place can be overpriced and cater towards hipsters who want to look like they just came out of rehab or about to go into rehab. But they do have some cute tops, shoes, and dresses. I always sift through the sales or clearance section and usually find cute clothes for half the price, this chain has a really messy sales section, but a lot more items on sales than in other chains. The line here can get long, but its a smaller chain than the one near union square or soho.

I’ve been looking for a yummy scented candle for my new apartamento, and found a great one at Anthropologie… for the same price as my weekly grocery budget.
A friend tipped me off that the candle company for Anthro is the same one for UO, so I popped by today and found a BETTER scent for a third of the price at this Urban.
Moral of the story: my apartment now smells like oleander magic, and I rewarded myself for saving dollars with a Whatchamacallit cupcake from the new cart at Washington Square. Heck yes, double-​win.

I used to shop here a lot last year that the staff pretty much recognized me. There are good sales downstairs for both men and women, if you can find them that is. This is because the clothing are piled up everywhere. It isn’t very organized. But to get one of the better deals in an Urban Outfitters Store? Heh, I wouldn’t mind spending some time flipping through the mess for something nice.
I actually got a pair of Sneaky Steve Shoes and Nike Blazers for $ 10 each (no defects by the way)! Pretty darn good sale I’d say!

I am NEVER returning here. The employees are unenthusiastic about their work! I had the «pleasure» of overhearing:
«When is my shift over? let’s go to this club, ughhhhhh let’s get drunk» for a good half hour.
By the way, shoplifters, don’t feel so bad about this place because the employees are worse, I overhead them talking about how they take some of the clothing sometimes, others food, and there was even a credit card swiper once. The superfluous amount of clothing there: overpriced and the whole store is disorganized.
Don’t go here. The one near Union Square is much better and has a better selection.
