“As NY as it gets! A joyful experience. Staff is super friendly and relax, the stuff available there is quite interesting, of very good quality and prices are spectacular . When we visited, Robert was playing the piano and singing. The cold and rainy day turned in to happiest (¿hippiest?) shopping experience. If I lived in NY I would definitely buy my furniture there!”
“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.”
“this is by far the best thrift store ive ever been to. vintage finds, everything is highly affordable and extremely well priced, and the volunteers are so sweet. the cats are just the cutest as well.
adoption for cats i was told are $195 and comes with everything: cats are chipped, vaccinated, spayed/neutered, and comes with their expensive cat food >_< an amazing price for a forever friend.”
“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.”

“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.”
“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.❤️??”

“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.”

“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.”

“Interesting items, mix of different brands, not just fast fashion stuff but some nicer items too. Ladies who work there are very kind. They have a dressing room but the door is small so not easy to try items on. I would return.”
“Well-organized, nice selection, fair prices, and the volunteers are super welcoming. Easy street parking too. Note - the first floor has a few steps, and the clothes are up a flight of stairs.”
“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 ?”
“I went for the first time with a friend. Was so impressed by the selection. They offered a wide variety of sizes in both clothes and footwear. Prices were extremely reasonable and there was a lot of items with tags still on them! I'll definitely be going back.”
“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”
“I fell in love with this place I can’t still believe I found myself one of my favorite shoes brand Nikes the classic that I was looking for everywhere and I couldn’t find and I came here I found them, can’t wait to come back soon!❤️”

“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.”
“I really love this store I been going every couple of weeks and everytime I go i grab a good find ?. The only thing I wish is that they had a few days exchange policy, I went yesterday and found some camera film i instantly grabbed it since my camera is old and film is hard to find and it was for the same brand as mine, looked like the same exact catridge when I checked it, it was for my camera technically but was for a newer version than the one I have ? so now i have 0 use for it. I would love to at least be able to exchange as it was $10. I totally understand no refunds policy But I guess you win some you loose some. Definitely still gonna go back.”
“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!”
“Visited this store with my son on 12/6/25 for the first time. My son loves thrift stores. He seems to always find stuff. I was surprised to see how busy it was with customers the line to pay wrapped around the store. Store has two level and if you are patient you can get some good deals. If I visit again I would go not on a weekend but early during the week, ? the staff was very friendly, upon entering a young lady at the register greeted me. Happy I had a nice experience and I was out with my son. Check them out.”
“do not expect real thrift store prices at this location. for example, a men's polo ralph lauren button down goes for about $35. that being said, their items are well-curated and include good brands like theory, DVF, emporio armani, etc. they are also consistently in good condition and support a great cause. shoe selection at this store is also exceptionally good in comparison to other locations - manolo blahnik, ferragamo and jimmy choo are regularly spotted here”

“There is a young man who is the worst. I asked him twice about something and he didn't answer me and then he answered me in Spanish. I mean, he did know the language. My clothes fell to the floor and he left the store. He didn't sell me. He told me the devil. It doesn't exist and he doesn't care if I report this way, he offended me and yelled at me in front of everyone.”
“One f my favorite spots to go thrifting. They have a wide variety of items including dining wares, furniture, clothes, shoes, arts, and jewelry. I always enjoy my time exploring in the shop.”

“I love this shop! Def not to be missed! Tucked in amongst LOTS of Latin food cafes, food trucks, and bakeries, and very lively streets selling just about everything, sits a not so little, not so hidden absolute gem! Aforementioned venues are surely worth the visit to Jackson Heights, but I couldn’t feel more blessed to find El Baratón across the street from our building… it has made getting dressed in lazy mornings so much easier to do when that “1 item” has gone missing, I know I can pop in for a thrifty scarf or a new Zara blazer, or top label 2ndhand staple jeans and tees… or a quirky fur (faux for sure) jacket. Racks of sneakers and flats and boots in great condition- my only 1 complaint- ? they tend to suit smaller sized feet than my average 8’s. Because they are cute. As are the staff and owner, always helpful and the curator/gm/owner- always a doll with stories and style, if you just want to chat! Kids and mens’ stuff too!”
“You can find great stuff but you have to dig. An old school thrift shop that hasn’t gone the way of “pre-loved boutique,” and is still affordable and local. I mostly come for the home accessories and glassware but you can definitely find some great vintage and modern clothing in all sizes.”

“Leave yourself a couple of hours to make the most of your trip as the clothing is rummage (nothing is in size order), there really are some amazing finds - I found a pair of brand new Levi's for $14.99!! Some good brands and being a curvier woman, plenty of size 16+, which is a rarity in thrift stores in the UK! It's absolutely worth checking out if you love thrift shopping!!”
“l. I finally went into Hour Children on Steinway Street., 31-12 Steinway Street. They are no longer taking donations until mid-January, and I liked the layout and attitude of the staff! They have lots of toys, gifts, and clothing, and you can see from the photos that they do not look like a regular donation store. I might drop off a few things in the New Year for my 2024 tax deductions.”
“Filled to the BRIM with beautiful and vintage pieces. Owners are so nice. Items are also very affordable. It's packed, so whatever you're looking for, you can find almost everything here. Not even just clothes, so much more. I personally love fashion and thrifting, and this is my new FAVORITE store. I was so, so satisfied. Going to shop here for the rest of my life. Found out about this place because I saw it while walking down Cedar Lane. Thank God I did!”
