“Very cute with interesting vintage items. A truly vast collection, valuable objects, especially clothing, watches, shoes and much more. In my opinion it is a small museum. It is one of the most beautiful places I have visited in the United States.”
“This is one of those places you wish you knew about earlier. I'm used to going to places where I have to kind of dig for what I like, but this place...seems to have something I like everywhere i look.
Tip, don't forget to look up and down, don't just stay at eye level. I found a hat I liked which was pretty high up and i'm glad I saw it.
You can tell the people who curate it know what they're doing and that they care - there are amazing brands, quality materials (at the moment - they just put out their fall collection- that includes a lot of cashmere!) You can get inspired by the products they have (I've learned about brands and types of jewelry) and even get ideas from the way they style their mannequins.
I didn't notice it consciously at first, but even the music they play in the store seems to have been chosen with care. I find myself dancing when I go in. That's the vibe i get in here - deliberate and careful curation done with heart.
The people who work here, at least every single person I interacted with, was very kind, friendly and down to earth. Just the right amount of friendly chatter, and no one ever made me feel pressured to buy anything - just made me feel at home and welcomed.
The pricing is extremely fair in my opinion, for the level of quality you're getting. I am trying to learn to manage my wardrobe, decluttering and whittling things down to favorites that I will wear for years, and I think some pieces I recently got here will be favorites for years to come. They're unique items, made of great materials with interesting design.
There is a downstairs where they have books, furniture and housewares like candelabras, espresso sets, that kind of thing. They do take donations.
This is one of my new favorite finds and it's for a worthy cause. I got on their mailing list to learn about events and sales they have. I sound like a salesperson but have no affiliation with them....I just appreciate this place and the people in it. The only 'negative' for me, is I wish it was closer to where I live but I will consider it a place to go when I need to get away. I've been twice and each time found/bought things I loved and have been on my wish list for a while. I'm glad I finally learned of this place; better late than never.”
“10/10 experience. I’ve never shopped for clothes for myself before and had a lot of anxiety going in. Leo was super helpful, knowledgeable, kind, patient, and understanding. He’s super chill and instantly knew which clothes would fit the aesthetic I wanted to go for. If you go to this place and Leo is there, you won’t be disappointed. Trust me. Thank you Leo. Hope to see you again!”
“It might look small from the outside, but it’s a sizable treasure trove inside. Hard to find the entrance - you’ll have to go to the back.
The owners are very friendly and always there. You’ll find an eclectic mix of advertising signs and displays, old typewriters, antique books, period clothing and just fun things from the past.
Prices are very democratic and they credit cards as well”
“I stumbled upon the Upper East Side Thrift Shop recently and was pleasantly surprised by the wide selection of items at fantastic prices. It felt like discovering a hidden gem with each aisle I explored. The staff was friendly and helpful. If you're in the area, be sure to check out both locations on 1st Ave and 87th Street, as well as 2nd Ave and 89th Street. Support this local business, you never know what treasures you might find!”
“I absolutely love this store. I recently started learning how to sew, so I decided to buy a few different blouses and dresses because I want to redesign them to my liking. However, I didn’t wanna spend a lot of money so I went to two different thrift stores in New York City and it just so happens that I came across this one and I love the store because all of the clothing is so inexpensive thank you so much and the kindness is really nice and the sore too.”
“It's a gem in Queens this store. Quality items to purchase but at affordable prices. I found two modern living room chairs for under $200 in excellent condition.
If you are redoing your home decor or just setting up a new place stop by this store to get some incredible finds. Also, check their website for online shopping.
Staff was friendly and helpful too.”
“MFTA has been like the heart and soul of the arts and cultures in NYC. This company and staff are great! Thanks the donors that keep donating year after year.❤️??”

“Really love this place. The prices are great and it's in a good location. I always find something I like. Today I got these great biker boots. It's affordable, ranging from $5 to about $50. My boots where $26 size 7. I also got a beautiful pink jacket/ coat like 2 weeks ago. If you spend some time and look around you will find gems.”
“Tiny store absolutely brimming with clothing, shoes, accessories, jewelry. You will find some very good bargains but you will also see items priced high. Couldn’t really figure out the pricing structure and I could have asked but sales staff was very busy.
Only a limited number of folks allowed in at one time. Be prepared to jockey for position to go through the racks.”
“Been living in East Harlem for a year and this is easily my favorite thrift store. We’ve gotten so many items for our apartment at great prices. Additionally, the people working have always been kind and helpful.”
“I make it a point to visit this location every single time I travel to NYC. Such a warm & welcoming staff, and of course great vintage finds! Love from Toronto!”

“Great place !abundant, styles of clothes more than enough styles to be good looking. Excellent and knowledgeable guys to help you find out what you want. Great price, highly recommended.”
“I have been going to this place for a very long time and there have been a lot of good managers who have come and gone but the current one David is one of the nicest I have ever met. He is a professional at what he does. He is a hard worker, he treats the staff nicely and his customer service is impeccable. Thank you David for making shopping at Thriftland a more pleasant experience. The store is one of the best thrift stores in the Bronx. It’s clean and has better quality goods and the staff are friendly as well.”

“I had a fantastic time shopping here last Thursday. I stumbled on the store while walking to a meeting from my hotel. This is the way I like to vintage-shop: curated, quality pieces in a range of prices. I like classic & quality items that will last a long time. The owner and an employee helped me find a gorgeous leather bag I needed for my computer and a cotton/linen dress from Italy. They were both so helpful and positive and made me feel welcome. I left feeling fabulous and wishing there were stores like this near where I live. I can't wait to come back the next time I'm in the city!”
“Me and my fiancé visited today and saw a typewriter for only $50! As a writer my eyes lit up once I saw it! The employees were so sweet and even tested it for us! We are 20 year olds from a very sad part of queens so we only came to window shop but no one judged or followed us! I’m so happy with my visit :)!”
“It is a wonderful place. I came to this country a year ago and they have not stopped collaborating with us. I have three children and they have always supported us in everything. Miss Jessica is a sweetheart. The pastor, the pastor and all her staff are really nice and meaningful people. collaboration to ?”
“Lots of cool shit. Prices are commiserate with the area. It’s not a thrift store, it’s a curated collection. Got a great jacket. Minus one star because I couldn’t find any Sting/The Police shirts.”
“I normally donate tons of expensive stuff here and the ladies working there are super nice. Today though (12/26/2023), there was a white older woman who was a witch! Mean and rude! I have never seen her there before but I hope to never see her again. If she is volunteering, she should just stay home and avoid working with people since she doesn't seem to know what customer friendly means. Super cranky and horrible attitude!”
“Excellent service, it is very clean and they are very friendly, the clothes are good brand names and very cheap, the best of all is that they add new clothes every week”
“PROS: this place was very nice. Historically a train station that was renovated into a shop. The staff was nice, prices were amazing, variety of items plentiful, everything was organized, and the items were good quality. There was even loads of parking CONS: the place wasn't all that big which caused congestion inside. OVERALL: I will definitely come back here as this is an amazing place to go thrifting”
“Great selection of clothing, home goods, and other miscellaneous items. They started to carry plants as well. Def a gem in the neighborhood with affordable prices!”
“selection is definitely hit and miss like any consignment store. you can find some awesome designer items for great prices if you're patient and sift through everything/come back periodically. for example, i got an 100% cashmere brooks brothers peacoat in near perfect condition for $125 but have also walked out of here empty-handed many times. don't expect thrift store prices, but items are generally in better condition than other thrift stores in the neighborhood”

“I used to volunteer here in 2017-2019 and they had very good clothing donations that were all sent to auctions or best of season events. What you’re left with every day is $15 USED h&m t-shirts that cost $9.99 new, random trinkets that if you buy, you get rid of after a year, and stupid overpriced designer items.
So today I walked by the store and saw that they were doing the best of fall. There was a line but im disabled and I showed them proof and asked if there was anywhere I could sit while I waited and they said just ask the person at the end of the line if you can join them when they’re at front. I said ok and waited 50 minutes. The person I talked to left and I asked them what I could do. They said they I could just stand at the end of the line, disregarding my disability. The third person I asked said she could give me a folding chair and wait at the end of the 100 person line. I waited for like 5 minutes and realized I had to pick up a prescription sooo. Bye chair lol.”
“Although I have emphathy for the inconvenience & frustration for lack of consistency w/store hours...the owner has been sick, in the hospital & recouping from a broken foot! Also, the loss of her sweetmother (reg customers know who I'm speaking of), & another very unexpected death in the family, all in the past year +/- have been hard for her. Dare I suggest you call 1st, just to verify her open hours. Just a thought. I'm just saying...?”
