Brooklyn, NY
Gets crowded on the weekends so go early on a Saturday or Sunday.
Beacon's Closet
Really good prices. You can find some gems if you're willing to look through the racks.
Life Boutique Thrift - 515 5th Ave, Brooklyn, New York - Yelp
I go here when I need to forget about my worries and am craving a thrift high.
Dekalb Ave — LTRAINVINTAGE - L Train Vintage
I only visit when I'm not looking for something specific. The inventory can be hit or miss but I've gotten some designer pieces for great prices in amazing condition.
The Salvation Army Thrift Store & Donation Center
Fairly small store but great for finding designer pieces and decorative decor for your apartment or home. I've found some really chic catch-all vintage bowls that I've given as gifts. If you're there on the right day you can also find amazing furnitu...
Housing Works Thrift Shops - Park Slope
This one is specifically for the OG thrifters. A big warehouse style store with loads of furniture. Also has racks of clothes but it's not super organized so you have to spend sometime looking.
Big Reuse
Go here if you're really in the mood to look and not looking to do a big thrift haul.
Buffalo Exchange
Manhattan, NY
Very well organized. An amazing selection of vintage pieces. Prices are not super cheap but the quality of the pieces are worth the prices.
Cure Thrift Shop
Excellent selection of vintage and designer pieces for good deals.
Beacon's Closet
Stop in if you're in the area. You won't need a ton of time looking around.
East Village Thrift Shop
I always take my time looking around because even though it's well organized it takes time to find the hidden gems.
Vintage Thrift Shop
Found the store on IG and didn't know what to expect when I went. Prices are very reasonable and they have a good variety of things.
Upper EastSide Thrift shop
Slightly more curated selection. Good place to go if you're looking for denim or leather. A store your non-thrift loving partner will enjoy.
