When I visited New York when I was 17 years old I bought a jacket from this store. It ended up getting stolen. This year I visited New York again at 21 years old. I went to this store to buy the same jacket again because it was the only one that had it in stock and that jacket was my favorite jacket. The second I walked in, Henry recognized me immediately from a 5 minute interaction I had with him 4 years ago. The man is not only nice and humble but extremely sharp. Love Henry and his store.

He told me there once was a teenager that used to come in the store and was rude to him, bothered him because he was Asian. But he was still treated him with kindness, never yelled or cursed at him. A couple years later, he got a letter and a check from the teen who remembered him, now grown up, apologizing for being a bad kid saying he changed his life, and thanking him for being so kind to him regardless. He is beyond words. I've never felt so touched by a strangers words and stories. Please support his store if any of you get the chance. Buy anything, small or big, he will appreciate it

I just called Henry and told him I saw this video yesterday. I am from Toronto, Canada and a second-generation Canadian. This video made me realize just how much sacrifice and work my grandparents had to make to run their own store in the 80s and 90s. For the first time in 21 years, I started to learn Cantonese and now can communicate with my grandparents and thank them for all they have done. I told Henry this and thanked him for making me become closer to my culture and family. He was so kind and even told the other worker my story. He was clearly very touched and asked for my name. He said that he hopes I will visit the store. This is a very touching story, that I am sure many of us can relate to - from all backgrounds. I strive to find kindness and resilience like Henry. We even spoke a little Cantonese to each other!

This is so cool!!. I just visited NY a couple of weeks ago and realized the small bag I was using to carry my camera was too small and clumsy. I happened to be walking by this surplus store and saw backpackers inside. The prices were great and the store owner was so nice and soft spoken. To my surprise this video popped up today and it made me so excited to see. I have always heard the people of NY are rude and callous but I had a totally different experience. Everyone we came across was very helpful when we needed help with the subways and through all our interactions. The main difference I noticed was that New Yorkers are in a hurry to where ever they are going and move at a much faster pace while getting from point A to B then when they get there they slow down quite a bit LOL. I loved NY and would recommend to anyone that hasn’t been 😊

Now this is a true example of a person's love, compassion, patience, humbleness and gratitude from someone. The value of human connection is so valuable that its value is immeasurable. 4 hour commute tho.

As a Vietnamese, I feel sorry for all the veterans no matter which side you were on. My grandmother who even though lost almost every loved one because of the war, loves it when I told her about my life overseas and not even once I see the hatred in her words or her eyes.

I have been here numerous times....not of late as I work from home now, and am seldom in Manhattan but now I am inspired and go back to say hello, the owner is a lovely gentleman and I still own and use bags purchased from his shop. This is what America is all about - small, neighborhood businesses, run by real people with real hearts.
