ESSX

Lower East Side · Multi-designer concept store · $$$

When Opening Ceremony closed in 2020, downtown lost its concept-store-as-hangout. ESSX (140 Essex, by architects Leong Leong) brought it back — a sleek, winding multi-designer space that doubles as a community hub on a block otherwise full of bars and restaurants. Go for the emerging-designer mix and the architecture.

A multi-designer LES concept store in winding sculptural rooms — the neighborhood's new community hub.
