Lower East Coast Is Bringing Miami’s Hipsters And Zine Fans To Allapattah
What’s News In This Story?
–Lower East Coast (3418 NW 7th Ave, Miami) is a small storefront that features zines and has a hipster feel.
-It’s one of those independent places that Miami doesn’t seem to have enough of.
–Founded by longtime friends and coworkers Steven Sanz and Rees Escobar, Lower East Coast is starting to get some buzz in the Miami artsy scene.
–It also serves as a pop up venue for musicians that Lower East Coast Management represents, and others.
–The shop is one of the anchors to a bunch of recent activity in the Allapattah area.
The full story:
Lower East Coast is a small hipster shop that specializes in selling local zines, independent magazines and local apparel brands that are a bit obscure and weird.
It’s also something that co-founders Steven Sanz and Rees Escobar say that they have to do for Miami.
“We’ve been friends for a long time and we’ve been talking about doing something for Miami and this is what we landed on,” Sanz said in an interview with RISE NEWS.
The shop is an outgrowth of Lower East Coast Management, a local talent agency that manages the careers of artists like Denzel Curry and PSYCHIC MIRRORS.
Sanz and Escobar first met over 15 years ago and have similar interests.
They decided to launch a Lower East Coast storefront during last year’s Art Basel.
Since then, they have hosted a series of pop up events with artists they manage, and others.
They also sell street wear brands like the Miami based Stray Rats and their own original tees.
“Everything we do is small batch runs,” Sanz said. “What we do is very niche. When you work with the young art kids, the rarer it is, the cooler it is.”
The interior of the shop is an all-white industrial space with high ceilings. It also features wood bleachers were you can sit and read through the collection of rare zines.
Ultimately Sanz said that they are trying to create a sense of community in Miami with Lower East Coast.
“It’s inspired by places we visit in New York and London,” Sanz said. “We need more mom and pop shops here. It’s something we’re missing.”
***HOT TIP- You can also watch World Cup games and hang at the store. Lower East Coast is also partnering with Hialeah thrift and consignment store, Ropa Vieja, to sell a variety of select 90’s soccer kits and a custom, limited edition World Cup T-shirt.
**IF YOU GO: Open Wednesday through Sunday from 12 PM to 8 PM.
