If you want to piss off your teachers at school, you might want to check this place out. The clothing store Yellow Rat Bastard is not the typical raunchy boardwalk logo shop, but it's not your regular clothing store either. It is situated on Broadway right in the heart of Soho. To get there, you can take the N,R train to Prince Street or the 6 train to Spring Street. It can be a little hard to find at first. All you have to do is look for three window panels that have open spaces in them. There are three yellow signs on top of the window panels that have their logo, which is a dead rat. When you walk inside, it looks like you are walking into a castle. The place is very dark and is lit with old chandeliers. There is a guy standing randomly to the left of the doorway awkwardly close to you. I think he's there to monitor the flow of what comes in and out of the store.
Anyway, when you walk in there are several different articles of clothing, mainly T-shirts that have almost every design and logo you can think of, many of which are very explicit. They have everything from heavy metal band covers, to a variety of designs. One example is a man painting a graffiti mural on the giant wall. You can also see many different uses of swear words on shirts that sort of make fun of actual items. I saw a shirt that had a picture which was similar to the person on an itunes gift card. The message said if**k instead of itunes. That's how crazy this place is. I have to say, this place will really appeal to teens like me.
