Mishka’s cheeky, vibrant streetwear brightens up an otherwise bleak stretch of south Williamsburg. A graffiti mural graces one black-brick wall, while the other is adorned with a collection of monster and zombie masks. The apparel is functional, but eye-catching: Electric-blue hoodies are adorned with extra zippers and buttons, and tees feature anything from sassy cartoons (a snide Snoopy or a smiley face giving the finger) to the brand’s signature “Bearmop” logo. For a finishing touch, the hat selection is extensive–from basic black models to gold foil baseball caps. Menswear dominates here, and the limited women’s section offers feminine versions of popular tees. — Kaitlin Jessing-Butz
