(Favorite) Thrift Stores: Home

  • www.housingworks.com – There are a bunch of these fabulous stores around the city.  They always have great window displays (employ visual students as interns – had a friend who did it).  I purchased my brand new, still plastic wrapped, Crate & Barrel sofa bed on the 90th street location for $400.00! Such a steal!
  • www.goodwill.org – I think there are three Goodwills in the city.  One in my neighborhood – UES which is good for housewares and a great one in Chelsea on 25th street, for fashion its actually right across from the Chelsea flea market!
  • www.gogreenvillage.com – This “junk yard” is out in Bushwick Brooklyn, but definitely worth the visit and the picking. I have yet to find a good piece, but I did see a lot of great WIP options!

(Favorite) Thrift Stores: Fashion

  • www.housingworks.com – These thrift stores have supplied me to many of Marc Jacobs, Theory and beautiful vintage. Visit often!
  • www.goodwill.org – I think there are three Goodwills in the city.  One in my neighborhood – UES which is good for housewares and a great one in Chelsea on 25th street, for fashion its actually right across from the Chelsea flea market!
  • www.buffaloexchange.com – I usually leave Buffalo with something, especially the one in Williamsburg.
  • www.beaconscloset.com – Beacons is a must shop store, when I used to live in Brooklyn I would go at least once every two weeks.  I also sold a lot of clothing here.  My suggestion, know what you’re looking for before you go, the one in Williamsburg is really big and can be overwhelming.  For example, I always had success when shopping for boots and jeans!
  • Tokio7 – This vintage/consignment shop is one of the best in the city!
