Since opening the first store in Astoria in 2013, Lockwood has expanded to six locations across the city, offering a well-curated selection of unique items from local artists. 
You’ll hear what makes Lockwood such a special part of the Sunnyside community, and how its owner supports local artists and the LGBTIQ+ community. You’ll hear about the fun and funky selection you’ll find there, and where all six shops are dotted throughout New York.
