“Fantastic place for gifts many of which are locally made. Violet has something for almost everyone and she and her staff are awesome. Children’s books and cute little cars, candles, soaps, jewelry, kids games, women made products, stuffies, hats, socks, stickers, keychains. My favorite small business to support.”
“Fantastic shop, would travel from queens to shop here. Friendly staff and wonderful pieces across many price points. The store isn’t big but there are so many beautiful things to see and try!”

“We only had a couple minutes, but this place is so well curated that it didn't matter! Scored a fantastic Isaac Mizrahi coat for my son and a sweet black United Colors of Benetton sweatshirt just as they were closing!”
“I was looking for an original vintage license plate and I found a man who sold them. He was really nice and explained us the story of the license plates.
If you want a license plate as a souvenir make sure to visit the Bazaar.”
“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!”
“First time check, but this will be my must-go vintage/consignment shop in UPE.
I’ve been touring all these other shops but this place is a GEM!
I will definitely check again, after screening online store too”
“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.”
“Such a great vintage shop with amazing pieces and very fair prices! Owner was so sweet and attentive and took the time to help me figure out what’s my style. I really could’ve spent hours there lol. Will definitely be back soon!❤️”
“Well, for $120 my daughter and girlfriend got a black skirt, a pair of silver high heels, a fluffy red jacket, a sequined black party dress, and a red sport coat. They loved it. Like any other used clothing store you have to hunt and search.”
“I came across their website looking for a particular bag and lo and behold they had it in stock! I couldn't believe it ! I emailed them and Rosie was prompt in answering all of my questions ! She was great to work with and now I have a gorgeous new to me bag I will cherish! Thank you!”
“Unbelievable craftsmanship and even better customer service!! I ordered 8 light fixtures from Blueprint Lighting back in Feb. Two of the light fixtures were 2 weeks behind awaiting glass. I was contacted by the owner Kelly and she communicated with me the entire process until I received the last remaining light fixtures. The quality of blueprint really shows and I couldn’t be happier!”
“My experience at Pippin was absolutely fantastic. Thanks to Daniela, finding the right engagement ring was far less stressful than anticipated. Her kindness and patience made the entire process truly enjoyable. Daniela’s extensive knowledge on each piece of jewelry and her attention to detail helped me find the perfect ring for my partner. Thank you!”
“I drove from nyc to this store because my friends raved about the treasures here and I ended up leaving with 18 items. The prices I got for brands like Alexander wang, Miu Miu, Alice & Olivia, Ferragamo, and there’s so much Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Prada, truly insane!!!! I compared what I purchased to eBay and some items were 80% less (not exaggerating) than online secondhand stores. I almost don’t want to write this review because it’s my secret weapon store now. I will be going every month or two and I don’t even think I need to shop anywhere else as they have literally everything to make an anmazing outfit. I think the absolute best part is that the girls working the store turn into personal stylists who will help you assemble the perfect outfit for any occasion. I don’t know, I’m just truly blown away!!!! The only reason I’m writing this review is because they are so kind and they deserve the credit but dang, what a hidden treasure!!! I’ll write a second review with photos of everything I got.”
“This was the first time today that I ever went into Maureen’s wonderful Gingerbread Consignment Store! From the time I entered, I was totally happy to be inside. I loved all of the items chosen for the store from the value, selection and quality. I was so honored to meet Maureen and totally blown away by her ability to connect with her customers and how at home she made me feel in her store, and how accommodating she also was! Her opinions of items I chose and her ability to pick items that would look great on me.. She pointed out the 50% items out for me(and there were so many)!! I also loved all of the items she chose for the store. They were all clean as the store was too. I spoke to quite a few of her lovely customers also and they were great. I live about 50 miles away but it was well worth the trip and I will surely be back!!! Highly recommend!!!!!”
“Screaming Mimi's is a NY icon! The place to come for curated vintage for the "it" girl and all the other creatures of the night! Such a well curated and fun place to be. So when Kitschy Flower announced a vintage doll live sale and holiday event at the shop, I knew I could not miss it. I gathered up some of my most fashionable to attend. We did the RSVP on line. Some last minute guest tagged along and also went to shopping. There was an array of treats and fun beverages. So lovely to see the Mickey (Mickey Boardman) and Baby Lynnie (Lynn Yaeger) did their Friday live show from the event and Cole (Kitschy Flower from Atlanta) popped in showing the doll highlights. Everyone working was insanely stylish and adorable. I could put them in my pocket. The doll fans were also dressed to impressed. I was so happy to feel the holiday energy and the creativity from the event. I knew I had to leave with a new little friend. I snagged an adorable kewpie baby. My friends found vintage clothing and jewelry that they had to take home. Everything was reasonable for what we got. Some items are more expensive since they are more rare. Highly recommend this destination spot for the NY residents but also for the tourist looking for the unique souvenir.”
“stray is easily my favorite part of sunnyside, the shop is small and narrow but jam packed with an amazing selection of really well curated records. i’ve had some amazing finds from husker du to yellow magic orchestra.
however, one of the greatest parts of the shop is dan the owner, being able to chat about music and the records you picked out and put you onto new stuff makes this shop one of the most accepting, helpful, and welcoming shops i know of. makes me sad im moving out of queens, cant recommend it enough!”
“this location gets a lot of NWT sample sale leftovers, which can be a good thing but often oversaturates inventory. their prices are very hit and miss, but this is one of the better and larger housing works locations”
“this is my go to thrift store the prices are fair I have found great gems at this location. the staff is always supper helpful and friendly. keep up the good work!!!”
“EXCEPTIONAL consignment shop! Margot knows her stuff and helped me find the perfect things that are my style. Her selection is impeccably curated! I'm definitely coming back to this wonderful shop!”
“A must-stop for vintage lovers in the NYC/Astoria area!
Loveday also has an incredible selection of jewelry and accessories.
Plus, the owner is a true local that you can talk to about anything from fashion to the best brunch spot to news of the day.”
“I came into the store on a Saturday looking for a 100% camel wool/cashmere coat and found one for $520. I noticed some wear and tear on it though and gently asked if it could be discounted a bit. The employee (Hermann, hope I'm spelling it right) kindly re-priced it at $450 but offered to call the coat's original seller to negotiate a lower price (and would call me back in a day or so). I almost lost hope when I didn't hear back for a few days but Hermann encouraged me to come back to the store and after calling the seller multiple times, he was able to offer a re-price for $270! I was extremely shocked with the unexpected steep discount and am very grateful for Hermann's professionalism, patience and care with my inquiry for days. Will definitely revisit this store again! ?”
“Love this little gem store i have brought many items in good and fair condition and had it deliverd and i am pleased with every item i have brought thanks Hugo .You are the best in yonkers”
“so much awesome inventory - i personally love their embellished blazers, dresses and shoes collections. prices are comparable to sample sale pricing (50-70% off retail) and they have a lot of new with tags items. be prepared to dig - there is a TON spanning 2 levels!”
“I first visited this shop many years ago, back when the store was much smaller. The items aren’t cheap, but knowing that all the proceeds go to this charity made perfect sense—it really opened my eyes!
Visiting again after all these years brought back so many wonderful memories. Such a lovely experience, and I’ll definitely be back again!”
“Love this cute new shop. As a plus size person, it is hard to find true vintage, but they have a huge selection - and best of all, the owner doesn't mark it up just because it's larger, like some places do. She also said she has a ton in storage, so if there's anything I am looking for, I can let her know next time I am stopping by and she'll grab some things. Made me feel special! Also you gotta check out the radio store next door.”
“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.”
“Secondhand shopping is my favorite thing to do; I categorically do not wear factory-new clothes, outside of intimates. The West Village Housing Works is, IMO, the best secondhand store in New York City. I have gotten so many treasures from here over the years, and every time I pop in, I see something that tempts me.
What I enjoy about this Housing Works is that it's curated. This is not the kind of hard labor thrift shopping, where you can find a $25 designer item after sorting through 20 stained things. The price point is higher than cavernous thrift stores packed with merchandise, because the staff and volunteers do the labor of selecting things that are stain-free and not too worn.
My favorite designer is Milly, and I almost always see something Milly any time I go in.
Most importantly, Emmy and the staff at Housing Works are lovely; they clearly really enjoy their jobs, and the vibes in the store are so nice. There have been multiple times that I've been in the store and have seen customers chatting with one another or encouraging each other to buy the fabulous thing they're trying on. It's a treat to shop in an environment where other people start conversations with you, and there's a shared love of a very good find.”
“I went to this store yesterday evening. The cashier was very nice and friendly during my visit and to all other customers. I made a bit of a splurge on a pair of gloves that definitely wouldn’t have happened if the customer service wasn’t exceptional ? I’ll be back again soon.”
“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...?”
