“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.❤️??”
“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.”
“This is my favorite thrift shop. Such nice items I always get my work clothes from here. Brand name, designer clothes, and always get compliments on my outfits. It's bang for your buck I can get so much for just 100 dollars. Glad to see it survived Covid.”
“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 ?”
“Quite a lot of variety, and comfortable prices.Everyone in the shop was very friendly and helpful.A good selection of tiny and cheap to big and expensive items. A ton of dishes, plates and mugs of different types and in good condition.Located in a really nice place across the street from a lovely cafe (Benny's). There are many other shops nearby, although we didn't find one as great as this one.”
“Why the hell would a convenience store not have a single set of mechanical pencils. Yes, have 30 varients of gel pens and 2 types of wooden pencils but absolutely 0 forms of any mechanical pencils. Also, what store prices a singular fork at 2 bucks. Insane. 1 block away you can get 2 forks for 1 dollar.”
“Prices align more with a higher end cosignment shop in NY but the layout, display, & selection here is quite nice. Many quality items throughout the store + a nice atmosphere. Worth the look for unique items close by.”
“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!”
“Beautiful store polite women had all kinds of neat things from records to comics. Carries books clothes nick nacks board games and much more. Definitely going back with cash next time cause it only takes it for payment.”
“A true thrift store is hard to find these days but Ditmars Thrift has the vibe. Prices are amazing, place is clean overall, and some true hidden gems in there. I can't wait to go back, honestly.
It's small but mighty- worth stopping in!”
“PROS: It’s super big so you’re bound to find something. Lots of random things like knickknacks, school supplies, and appliances if you’re interested in that. Nice selection of jewelry. Also it’s in a mall/bazaar that includes a tailor and a smaller more expensive second hand store with a nicer selection.
CONS: They keep your bags behind a counter while you shop so make sure you wear something with pockets for your phone, wallet, etc. You can’t use the dressing rooms and there aren’t a lot of mirrors around. They have employees do the “self checkout” for you which is kind of awkward. Full price is a bit expensive but they have each item tagged with a different color and each day a different set of colors are on sale so you can still find deals.”
“First time going to this location, and really enjoyed it. I love books, and they have a really large selection right at the front of the store. In the back, there is a large selection of clothes, dining ware, and the likes!”

“It's really cheap, the reviews are a bit negative, but with a book of digging around for about 20 minutes I found 4 cool items. Gloves are comfortable but not absolutely necessary. I recommend not digging to the bottom of the boxes because there are usually just underwear and socks
All in all, definitely recommended if you don't mind digging through a box”
“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.”
