  Yet more evidence that the nineties are the era of the moment: Michael Spitz crams this walk-in-closet-size shrine to all things Generation Y with Fresh Prince�loud sports jerseys and Starter jackets (from $50), Zack Morris�preppy button-downs ($20 and up), and pop-culture tees and sweatshirts (from $20) that sell almost as quickly as he posts them to Instagram (@mrthrowbacknyc). Shelves are stuffed with treasures you forgot you once owned and will find you’re now incomplete without, including Ninja Turtles figurines, �Goosebumps� books, and deadstock New Kids on the Block dolls ($2 to $10). Spitz also restores old-school sneakers: Bring your Jays to have them repainted and reglued ($60) or spring for a full-on sole-swapping ($120 if you provide the donor pair).
