The Grast Concept Store Hits the NYC Subway System

Ever been underground? If you haven’t, be sure to check out the Grast Concept Store in the NYC Subway System. Grast contrasts the dimness of the subway with their bright lights, attracting people to the shop, where they want customers to feel a sense of zen among the chaos.

Grast specializes in hard to find items, toys, and limited edition clothing. Creator Merwin Andrade collaborated with well known artists on specialized t-shirts and more. He “saw a void in the untapped market of the NYC subway and wanted to pay tribute to the history of the subway; including the NYC underground art scene and old school graffiti artists.” Prices at the store will start at $5 going up to $100.
