“I truly appreciate Remix Market for your generosity with teachers. I was able to pick up a desk chair and a shelves piece for my books. All items seem to be in very good condition. Thank you again.”
“Biggie's is great! The owners are super lovely and run it themselves. Their dog, Biggie, is super cute. Often there's people playing chess outside- it's pretty rad.
Inside is a vintage lovers paradise, or more specifically, a vintage smokers dream. They specialize in refurbishing old lighters, ash trays, and smoking sets. Trust me, they're awesome. If you're not a smoker, they have old magazines, game sets, and old-style soda. If you'd like to become a smoker but are scared, they have candy cigarettes. Sick!
Anyway, I like to pop by whenever I'm in the neighborhood. You should pop in, too.”
“I had followed Salt Lizard on Instagram for quite sometime and finally had the opportunity to visit the store. The owners are incredibly friendly, the store is spacious with abundant natural light, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Unlike typical antique stores, Salt Lizard's curated selection eliminates the digging through dusty junk without having a "Do not touch!" vibe. The prices are within reach, offering a range of fine antiques from furniture to tableware and rugs. A gem for antique enthusiasts!”

“An amazing array of silverware from various countries and eras. Definitely worth a visit in person (as I did when I was recently in New York) or via their eBay store. Anthony has a wealth of knowledge after many years in the industry.”
“Incredibly special place. The kindest family ever has been running this shop for many generations. One of the family members talked to me about the history of the shop and his family and it was such an honor to hear their story.”
“Adam assisted me with some items, he was very professional and extremely knowledgable in his expertise. He has a very rare and skilled eye. I loved working with adam and felt very safe and informed. Highly recommend!”

“Very nice store with interesting pieces. Staff was happy to answer questions and were honest about additional costs if was to have my new bench delivered. I would recommend this to anyone looking for solid older pieces of furniture or décor.”

“Fantastic customer service, easy to order online, quick turn around time and a beautiful product!
I needed help ordering a lampshade for a vintage glass lamp I inherited from my mom. I had no idea where to begin so I reached out through Illume’s website. They gave me guidance in ordering the perfect lampshade! Thank you!”
“home to several antique letterpress machines that still work, bowne triples as a museum, a stationery store, and a custom letterpress printing site. pay a visit to explore something esoteric alone or with other enthusiasts. journal prices are lower than those at competing retailers in the city: the midori md a5 is $14 at bowne. staff is very knowledgable about their inventory, services, and the history of seaport/letterpress methods to boot. some of them are clearly artists themselves - so impressive.”
“Incredible gem in East village. I came in to get advice on my meditation practice and the owner was very knowledgeable. He spent ample time with me providing deeper insight. They even have a meditation room. Can’t wait to visit.”
“I have been doing business with them for a couple years, selling coins and gold jewelry. They are knowledgeable, patient and fair. I have lived in the area for several years and a friend recommended them. I would definitely recommend them as well; if you are looking to get cash for coins, gold or silver there pricing is fair and competitive.”

“Incredibly friendly staff! I bought a dresser from them after finding it on their site while moving and they held it for me until I could pick it up. The dresser was in great shape when picked up (all defects and dents were disclosed to me which some vintage stores do not do ahead of time) and I am super happy with it. I wish I had space for everything in their store. Will be going back for smaller items soon.”
“I purchased some items at auction and due to some unique circumstances on my end I had to pick them up sooner than normally allow. The owner went above and beyond to communicate with me and accommodate my request so that I could receive my purchases in time. I was very pleased with the service as well as with the quality of the purchased items. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from them again!”
“After finding this store online several years ago, and talking cross-country to Jimmy several times - it was such a joy to come and spend an hour or more looking at and trying multiple pens my husband and I were considering. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly - it felt like an hour spent with friends! We bought several items for ourselves and at least one gift!”
“I echo the other reviewers: wonderful store with a unique selection of quality products coupled with personalized customer service. THIS is what NYC should be made of, instead of chase banks and weed shops on every corner. The prices are a bit higher, but it's nothing crazy, and let's please remember that you get what you pay for. And if you want nyc to retain some of its character on at least one little corner in this city, please -- pretty please -- stop over and purchase something from this lovely little shop.”
“What a great place! If you have something you need to sell, they'll give you a great price, if you're looking to buy something, you'll find wonderful items there plus there are auctions monthly where new items always turn up. The people that work there are super nice and helpful. It's a wonderful experience l.”
“Nice stuff to look at but I came in looking for a specific thing and I got it! I was looking for a coffee cup and saucer and I found a nice one and the owner provided useful information for us. I think it was a good price for each set.”
“Wonderful retro furniture collections at reasonable prices. We found a beautiful leather-top antique desk, and the staff fixed up all the little scuffs & loaded it into our truck for us! What a pleasure to work with them.”
“Nancy is very nice and patient. I ask a lot of questions and she answers all of them thoroughly. Very good store prices are decent. She doesn’t give me a hard time, especially when I’m very particular and picky. My go to spot from now on!”
“I went in here & felt foolish living nearby and never coming going in. Sonam, the owner was very nice and even showed me how to using the scrying bowl(look it up & see what it does) they have lots of clothes from Tibet & surrounding countries. Best of all, it was all low priced & affordable. Lots of sculptures from miniature to very large in shapes of animals,Buddha and even Julius Caesar & Lincoln! Incense & their holders,sage, jewelry,crystals. But there’s too many too list and my pics didn’t capture everything. So drop by if you can you won’t be disappointed.”
“Five stars! I’ve shopped both in store and online and have always had a lovely experience. Beautiful pieces. Russell has a real eye and it shows in his selection. Completely unassuming and super chill in person shopping experience. Skip the rest and make the trek! It’s worth it! Thank you!”

“My experience buying an engagement ring with Kat from Erstwhile was incredible and the whole process was stress free from start to finish. From the initial meeting in the showroom, through to purchase and re-sizing she was super helpful and it was seamless. I looked around for vintage engagement rings but always kept coming back to Erstwhile. Is their jewelry more expensive than something modern? Probably, but their pieces are beautiful and unique and my partner is absolutely in love with her ring which is all that matters”

“Came here last weekend with friends and we all were searching for elusive pieces for our apartments. We all left finding our perfect thing, in my case a small entryway cabinet.

“This bookstore found me. And every since then it’s been calling me back. I walked in and was met with the smell of the alphabet and maps from every country in the world. I was allowed to peruse the first floor without being pressured and that felt good because walking in can be intimidating.Everyone there was helpful and I was directed to the second floor by means of a turn of the century elevator. Maps on this floor were organized smartly and you must ask for assistance before taking them off the shelf.I would encourage you to check out their website so you have an idea of what you are looking for before arriving. They also have volumes online that may not be in store at the current time but they have access to from their warehouse.”
“Most astonishing antiqueshop I‘ve ever been! Really great, very well sorted pieces, the no.1 to go in NYC! And Bob is such a kind a friendly owner, thanx for the great service!”
“Any person into vintage and design has to pay a visit to Jarontiques. The quality and uniqueness of the furniture and collectibles is truly unbeatable. Their mid century collection is hands down the best I’ve seen. Sharan and Jaron, the proprietors, are so knowledgeable and super kind. The experience is so special, you’ll literally want to stay all day. One of a kind in every which way.”
“Got me inside my apartment after being LOCKED OUT FOR HOURS! My super was unresponsive but glad I found these guys. In and out in less than half an hour as well. Will return the favor by recommending them”
