My mom and sis are still in town for a few more days. One of our favorite things to do is go to thrift stores. Every time I go home to CA for a visit, we go to the ultimate thrift store. It's a requirement - along with going to In 'N Out, getting Mexican food, and going to the beach. Nothing in New York compares to that one, but here are some of my favorite thrift shop routes in NYC:
1) Housing Works - The 17th St one consistently has good stuff. Almost all of the Housing Works have high quality, moderately priced items. Come to think of it, I'm gonna check their online auction now.
2) City Opera Thrift - This shop has a ton of women's clothing and often gets samples. They also tend to have some nice furniture and accessories.
3) Goodwill - 25/7th Ave, 79th/Broadway, 23rd/3rd. Goodwill has the best prices on books and also gets new Target merchandise.
I know there are a bunch of thrift shops on the Upper East Side, but have never found anything too exciting at any of them.
Am I missing any good ones?
