The Staten Island Ferry docks at St. George and 70,000 people a day step off. The North Shore has one of the city's most active vintage scenes, a thriving arts community, a Sri Lankan cultural district that's the largest outside Sri Lanka, and a growing population of creatives who landed here because Brooklyn priced them out. The wardrobes are eclectic. And until now, nobody was coming to them.
Culturally and demographically distinct from the rest of Staten Island. The North Shore is significantly more diverse, lower-income, and urban. Adjacent Tompkinsville hosts Little Sri Lanka — 5,000–7,000 Sri Lankan Americans. Artists and creatives priced out of Brooklyn and Queens increasingly settling here. The Second Saturday Art Walk includes fashion shows. Housing costs run 30–40% below comparable neighborhoods in other boroughs.
Everything Goes Clothing at 140 Bay Street — over 40 years of vintage and secondhand, multiple floors. Yana on Bay Street — woman-owned vintage that went viral on TikTok, curated consignment drawing shoppers citywide. Marie's Two Timer Boutique for North Shore consignment. Bay Street Thrift as a nonprofit supporting employment training.
Perfect vintage coat from Everything Goes where the shoulders sit wrong. A piece from Yana that's stunning but needs hemming and waist adjustment. Bay Street Thrift score with incredible fabric but fit a full size off. Sri Lankan traditional garments — saris, sarongs, formal pieces for weddings and celebrations — requiring tailoring that understands drape, pleating, and delicate fabrics. Ferry commuter wardrobes needing trouser hems, blazer sleeve adjustments, and discreet repairs.
Cargo Cafe, two blocks from the ferry terminal — lunch and live music. Everything Goes Book Café on Bay Street while you browse. Americano Cafe at Urby in Stapleton with fair-trade coffee. Pier 76 near the theater for weeknight sessions.
Everything Goes has operated since 1983 — over 40 years of secondhand in St. George. The Second Saturday Art Walk has been activating the North Shore since 2010. Art Lab at Snug Harbor teaching since 1975. St. George Theatre — an ornate 1929 movie palace now hosting 150+ performances a year. Snug Harbor Cultural Center sits on 83 acres — a Smithsonian Affiliate with the Chinese Scholar's Garden. The Sri Lankan Art & Cultural Museum on Canal Street opened 2017 as the first outside Sri Lanka.
We really come to Staten Island. We take the ferry to St. George and meet you within walking distance of the terminal, or anywhere on the North Shore. We'll meet you off the boat.
Yes. We work on traditional and cultural garments with full respect for the textile and construction. Saris, sarongs, formal celebration pieces — we handle delicate fabrics, pleating, and embellishments with precision.
Everything Goes is a treasure source. Vintage garments often need proportion adjustments — shoulders, hems, waists — because they were built for different fits. We bring them into your rotation with tailoring that respects the original garment.
