Shopping
At the Ancoats end of the street is the Frog and Bucket Comedy Club. Further down is the independent music venue The Night and Day Café and Dry Bar. A little further along is Afflecks, catering for alternative and individualised fashions. There are retro/vintage clothing stores on the street.
In addition to Oldham Street's alternative fashion outlets, it is known for second hand music shops specialising in collectible and new vinyl, ranging from rhythm & blues, soul and folk to Madchester, techno, drum & bass and dubstep.

Famous quotes containing the word shopping:
“If Los Angeles has been called “the capital of crackpots” and “the metropolis of isms,” the native Angeleno can not fairly attribute all of the city’s idiosyncrasies to the newcomer—at least not so long as he consults the crystal ball for guidance in his business dealings and his wife goes shopping downtown in beach pajamas.”
—For the State of California, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“The new shopping malls make possible the synthesis of all consumer activities, not least of which are shopping, flirting with objects, idle wandering, and all the permutations of these.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“Most baby books also tend to romanticize the mother who stays at home, as if she really spends her entire day doing nothing but beaming at the baby and whipping up educational toys from pieces of string, rather than balancing cooing time with laundry, cleaning, shopping and cooking.”
—Susan Chira (20th century)
