How would you guys judge the quality of the stuff that is sold on the sidewalks of Manhattan New York? (the people who sell like cashmere scarves, bags, sweatshirts, shirts, etc) I recently bought a sweatshrit that says "NYC" on it for 15 bucks from one of those places, but i am not sure if the quality is good or not. 15 bucks was the cheapest ic ould find but other places were much more expensive.

It really depends on your taste. Most of the things are trendy items, like "designer" sunglasses and bags, "cashmere" scarves, etc. If you are buying things for casual use, the city is great for accessories like jewelry and handbags. If you're going for good quality (both in appearance and performance), street vendors are not the place to go. There are plenty of middle-priced stores in NYC (H&M, Forever21, the Gap, etc) to go to get things like that. If you are looking for basics like sweatshirts and t-shirts, there is generally nothing wrong with buying from vendors. A cotton blend hoodie is a cotton blend hoodie. The quality will probably not be as high as it would be in established stores, but the clothing will serve its purpose. In fact, it is probably wiser to buy basics cheaply, because otherwise the quality will not be worth the higher price at more expensive places. Just be sure to look for holes, stains, etc, as always.
happy holidays.

C'mon, it's just cheap stuff that needs not be judged for nothing. Just go ahead, treat yourself, and if you happen to buy something that proves to be no good, well, bad luck, so what.

Its upto your taste and your luck, but usually it shows that the quality is quite poor
