Hi guys,

does anyone of you know any military surplus store in Manhattan or
Washington DC? The kind of stuff I'm looking for is basically
military-
theme T-shirts. I'll be next month in both cities (I'm from Europe)
and I
won't have a car. Therefore, they should be reachable by public
transportion, if possible.

Thanks in advance,

Frank's Naval Tailors, Flushing Ave, Brooklyn NY. Take the Independent
Subway, "A" Train from 42nd st in Manhattan to High St in Bklyn and walk
down Sands St to the old Brooklyn Navy Yard follow along the brick fence
to
Flushing. It's about 2 blocks down. All kinds of military paraphernalia,
uniform items and devices.

You must be fairly old to be using "Independent". I've seen
some old IRT and BMT signs, usually embedded in the wall
tiles, what did the Independent have?

Yep. That would be me. Old guy. The Independent Line was abbreviated "IND".
The "A" train ran up 8th ave as I remember.
