American Apparel got famous by providing blank tees for Williamsburg hipsters to put witty slogans on, but the supersoft cotton and comfy- yet-fitted style of its shirts will stick around beyond last year’s trend. The L.A.-based company opened a store on Broadway in November to sell tees, tanks, underwear, bras, and shorts for men and women in a rainbow of colors and any style you like, so long as it’s basic. Prices are basic, too. Despite the shop’s “sweatshop-free” philosophy, prices rarely exceed $25.

Our mission this year: to hunt down not just the best but the best values in the eating, shopping, drinking, and general-consuming universe of New York. It’s quite the process, this, requiring eating and shopping and drinking (all in the name of research), followed by heated but civil discussion, and heated but less-civil discussion, until a winner emerges in each category.
