Hi love,
Quick update: Nik’s Picks is evolving. There’s a new name and a new format coming for 2026.
Welcome to You’ve Got Great Taste!!! 💌💋
DON’T PANIC! You’ll still get your Thursday emails with:
The best shopping finds
Dinner spots worth your time
Pop-ups and events actually that are going to be amazing
What is changing is that I’m adding something, because I’ve been wanting to share more intentionally with this community.
If we haven’t met yet, hi - I’m Nik. Maybe you recognize me from the title of the newsletter, maybe you’ve followed me on TikTok, or maybe we’ve met at a shopping event. Either way, I’m happy you’re here.
I’ve owned and operated my own vintage business in New York for the past two years, and over that time I’ve spent my days sourcing, selling, observing, and paying close attention to what people are actually buying and why.
Lately, I’ve felt really compelled to share what I’m seeing.
So in addition to your weekly city guide, you’ll now also get a short thought piece from me each week (probs on Tuesdays) focused on:
What’s really going on in the vintage and fashion world
Trends I’m paying attention to (and why they’re happening)
How artists, curators, & entrepreneurs are turning taste into real money
This isn’t trend forecasting for the internet. It’s more pattern recognition and deep thinking across fashion, vintage, culture, and technology (yes, even AI).
This newsletter has always been about and for people who have taste… this just names it. Thanks for being here, for trusting me, and for having great taste 💌
If you have feedback or requests for topics, please feel free to reach out by responding to this email.
xx
