Staff not in the mood to service l don't blame them but at least you get money for job just appreciate to do it for decoration is good but price is too high not get a long with quality l recommend you guys open gallery or studio for just take a pic and go that easy

Reselling Amazon purses at designer prices that are new. Completely overpriced for secondhand, especially considering Trash of Vaudeville is an official seller of Tripp pants, and I saw Tripp knockoffs for MORE THAN BRAND NEW TRIPP PANTS FROM AN NYC STORE.

Cool motifs, but cramped like a fire hazard. NOT WHEELCHAIR FRIENDLY.

Male cashier at register with the face tattoos has the personality of a used tampon: bloody terrible.

J-Rocks!

Good selection of unique items like ready to wear battle jackets, lots of punk & fancy clothes along with NSFW articles.
Also has folders of patches for battle jackets but mostly (imo) obscure bands, and some cool pins, all top dollar.
Staff 'look the part' but lacking in warmth.
No photos allowed but there's enough taken by others here on Google maps to get an idea of what it's like inside & out.
Worth a visit.

Are they expensive? Yeah.
Are they rude? Yup.
Are you visiting for the experience? Absolutely!

If you are looking for a fun alternative store in NYC, this is the place.

Cool looking place but who cares when you're not allowed to take pictures. I tried taking one pic and the staff yelled no pics and then followed me around the store all the way to the door until left. I expect to be followed around Macy's but an alternative store?! They're portraying the ignorant overpriced gatekeeping companies they're supposedly against. Better off going to trash and bodville, gothic renaissance, dolls kill or anywhere really for cuter and cheaper clothes with staff that are actually nice.

Been going to this place since early high school and it’s usually great except the staff is horribly rude to customers. I spent not even 15 minutes in there and everything I picked up to try on or show my friend, I put back exactly like I found it. Then suddenly, while on my way to put something back in the place I found it at, one woman (of Asian descent, skinny, medium height) blocked my way back to the middle of the store and asked me if I was planning on buying anything. I was, actually. But after reluctantly allowing me to put back the item in my hands, she told me that she witnessed me messing around. Clearly I was making a point the whole time to respectfully return everything I had touched to its place. I should have dropped the item at her feet with the way she was treating us. Clearly you can’t “search” at Search & Destroy without harsh judgement. She was basically telling me to leave and saying I trashed her already trashed store. It’s no wonder the staff can’t stay consistent. They are horrible. Great store, terrible staff.

The clothing is ridiculously overpriced, and the staff is consistently rude. I am extremely disappointed. I stopped visiting this place three years ago because of the rude staff, and it seems like nothing has changed. It's especially frustrating because there are only a few punk stores in NYC. I'm truly taken aback.

I’d only go here if I felt like starting a fight lol. The staff there is horribly rude and the prices are ridiculous. I was in there for like 5 minutes and it felt like the staff wanted me to leave. Kinda funny that this place is called search and destroy cuz they get annoyed if you search too long and they’ll destroy your day over it!
