DII sells clothing, bedding, snacks, housewares, and make-up at reduced prices—the two "d"s stand for "deals" and "discounts." The chain has a bunch of shops in places like Astoria, Bayonne, Ozone Park, and Brighton Beach, but they've officially gone yuppie-friendly: The newest outpost is slated for 5th Avenue and 9th Street in Park Slope.
