“My mom had been to this place and drove a car full of things to give away to this store and that the people there were nice and took all of it this is because it was all donations. The people in there were happy this is lots of donations and that the people coming into the store can use it.”
“I always find something special when I come here!! Truly lovely, curated selection of good quality clothes (really love the diverse sizing) and home ware. Staff is very kind and helpful.”
“This has to be the best second hand store in nyc,I was there today ( my first time ) I saw videos on tiktok and everything its true you will find very good deals i got a sofa bed from blue dot for very good price RAY OR TAY I forgot the name but he was the only guy in there,his really helpful and friendly,very ,very good customer service...”
“Life Boutique is such a gem in Park Slope! The best selection by far in the neighborhood. They have a lot to offer and the team is so helpful and accommodating. They helped me find the perfect sunglasses for my Halloween costume by sifting through some backstock. I’ll be back for sure.”
“I went here a couple times, and the staff had always been extremely sweet. They always have unique pieces that go well with everyday wear. I absolutely love this store and all the vibes. It is also VERY affordable, an absolute gem. Will definitely come back every chance I get!!”
“These guys genuinely know vintage. They lived it and understand the backstory of every piece in their store.
In an industry of fast fashion and clout chasing, this spot is the opposite. Go in and talk with them. Super kind, approachable and knowledgeable. That’s rare.
Store is a thoughtfully curated selection of items with zero judgment or pressure towards consumers. Great place to browse, reminisce and find the right nostalgic item.”
“They really have lots of stuff to choose from. Trendy store fashions like Zara and the like priced to sell approx $10+, and new items from brands like St Johns $80+.
Everyone can find something here if your willing to look. Cash only, really friendly staff.”

“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!”
“Such a joyful experience, in stark contrast to the usual experience of trying on pants, especially vintage denim. Ended up with my holy grail denim and comfortable stan rays, which had evaded me until now.”
“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!”
“This place is a treasure trove! We are so glad we stopped in as we found some unique vintage items.The owner, Fernanda, does a terrific job curating some fun and authentic items. If you are looking for some interesting and one-of-a-kind decor or vintage china, head to this place. We are from out of town and will definitely come back the next time we are in NYC!”

“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!”
“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!”
“Great thrifting place; separated into categories and great prices !! You can get pretty nice things from 6USD :)
Don’t forget to bring your own bag, or buy one of theirs at the register for 2USD !”
“This store is amazing! Always a great selection, super low prices, and the staff is incredibly sweet. Made a few purchases a few days ago and they let me know the profits that day were going to breast cancer awareness. Love their mission!”
“I discovered this shop in the East Village and I love shopping the curated beautiful items they have. It’s now my favorite place to visit and the owner and staff are so helpful ❤️”

“Walked past it and had to go in. Some beautifully curated items in there. My word of advice, go to the back room and search for the hidden gems. Found a vintage coach devon bag in a beautiful color in gorgeous condition. Price was reasonable, as it is vintage luxury. The owners were so so sweet and kind, if I ever come back to New York I know the first place I’m going to.”
“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.”
“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.❤️??”

“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.”
“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.”
“When we moved to a smaller apartment, I started looking for places to donate a lot of goods. The Big Reuse was so much fun to walk around! My middle schooler had tagged along to a bunch of shops, wanting to see weird things, and that never happened until we hit Big Reuse. So many ideas for what could become props and set pieces. I look forward to visiting again”
“Saw this gem while on my walk and it definitely wasn’t a regret stop. The owner Natalia is the kindest person you’ll meet. I do think the prices are a bit high for used items but I will definitely remember the nice conversation and come back to donate!”
“There are two stores next to each other, divided by product style. They really have everything. There's so much to choose from that it can be hard to decide what to buy, so I recommend going there after you've decided what you want.”
“Found some amazing vintage clothes at a reasonable price. The place can feel a little overwhelming and get extremely packed. But it can be an explorative experience with friends to find goodies. They do charge a credit card fee, so bring cash if you don't want to pay that. They also sell bags to carry your purchase for $2, so bring your own in case you bought a haul of goodies.”
“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.”
“A great find in Brooklyn - this place is HUGE and has a ton of selection. Great vintage options in addition to standard thrift store finds. I could be lost in here for hours!”

“I liked it, it is a good second-hand clothing store at a very good price.It is spacious, good lighting, large dressing rooms.I found clothes for me and my husband, there are also clothes for children and some other toys for children..What I liked the most was a Zara jacket at a very good price.”
“Lovely owners, enjoyed the conversation with them. The store had so many items I forgot to take pictures because every time I turned around I saw something that caught my eye. The jewelry section was a gem, my partner and I found so many rings that will definitely be a staple piece to many outfits to come. The quality of the clothes were wonderful, even had plenty of brands I recognized for an amazing price, I grabbed more than a few. They even had plus size, which surprised me and I was more than grateful to find bottoms for myself which is always a challenge. Thank you again ????”
“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.”
